NOAA Weather Radio Finder
Pick your state and county (or use your location) and get the exact frequency to tune, the transmitter that serves you, and the SAME code to program into your weather radio. Data comes straight from the National Weather Service.

How to use what you find
- The frequency (all seven live between 162.400 and 162.550 MHz) is what you tune on any weather-band radio. Most weather radios scan all seven automatically.
- The SAME code is a six-digit county code. Program it into a SAME-capable radio (nearly every modern one) and it alerts only for warnings that touch your county, instead of waking you for a storm eighty miles away.
- More than one transmitter covers many counties. Pick the strongest at your home; keep the second as a backup - transmitters do go down in the very storms you bought the radio for.
