162.450 MHz: one of the seven NOAA Weather Radio frequencies

162.450 MHz is one of the seven frequencies NOAA Weather Radio uses nationwide. 133 of the 1,035 transmitters in the NWS coverage data broadcast on it, all listed below. The frequency does not pick you - your county does: neighboring transmitters use different frequencies so they can overlap without interfering, and the finder returns the right one for any county in one step.

On marine radios this frequency usually appears as channel WX5, but the WX numbers are a receiver convention, not part of the NWS system - the Midland WR120, for one, numbers its channels 1-7 in ascending frequency order, which puts 162.450 MHz at channel 3. When in doubt, go by the frequency.
