Question 1 of 27070

NOAA VHF weather reports are continuously broadcast on VHF channels WX-1, WX-2 and WX-3 on a frequency of __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) operates in the VHF "weather band" above the normal marine voice channels • Know that Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) and 2182 kHz are traditional distress/calling frequencies, not routine weather-broadcast pairs • Check whether the listed frequencies are in MHz vs kHz, and whether they fall in the known NOAA weather range around 162 MHz

💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and ask: does this group of frequencies look like familiar distress/calling channels or like dedicated weather broadcast channels? • Which answer has all three frequencies clustered in the same small band commonly associated with NOAA weather, instead of mixing different services and bands? • Eliminate any option that clearly includes a famous voice/distress frequency that you already know is used for another purpose, not continuous weather

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option has all three frequencies in MHz near 162 MHz (typical for NOAA weather) • Identify and rule out any option that contains Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) or 2182 kHz, since those are primarily distress/calling, not three weather channels • Confirm that the remaining option uses MHz, not kHz, and sits in the VHF band used by marine weather receivers
