NOAA Weather Radio in Montana

Every NOAA Weather Radio frequency and SAME alert code in Montana, by county, from National Weather Service data. Find your county below, program the frequency and code into your weather radio, and it will wake you for the warnings that matter.

Prefer to search? The NOAA Weather Radio Finder looks up any county instantly. New to this? See how the warnings are made and the weather radio buyer's guide.

The seven NOAA Weather Radio frequencies are the same everywhere in the country - see what the NOAA Weather Radio frequencies are and how to pick the one for your area.

These codes go into a radio that can hold them: the Midland WR120B (Amazon) at home, the ER310 (Amazon) for the bag. Both explained at the bottom of this page.

SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) codes are the six-digit numbers your weather radio uses to alert only for your county. A county marked with a note (e.g. partial coverage) is served for that portion only. Data: NOAA/NWS, public domain - verify locally before you rely on it.

Neighboring states. Border counties often sit inside a transmitter's range from the next state over, so if nothing here covers you, try Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming.

Every state is listed on the NOAA Weather Radio by state index.

A radio that will actually use this

Those 56 Montana entries only do something inside a radio you can program them into. Two that do the job - and they are different jobs, not better and worse.

At home, always on

Midland WR120B. Mains-powered desk alert radio. Program your county's SAME code from the table above and it sits silent until your county specifically is warned. Then it wakes you. This is the one that earns its keep at three in the morning. Battery backup keeps it alerting through an outage.

In the bag or the car

Midland ER310. Crank and solar, USB-rechargeable with an AA compartment as a third power path, weather band, real flashlight. Receives the same frequencies; it does not do SAME alerting. This is the one you still have when the power has been off for two days.

Check current price (Amazon)

You do not need an expensive weather radio. The two things that matter are SAME programming, so it stays quiet for counties that are not yours, and a power path that survives the outage the warning is about. Everything above that is convenience. See the buyer's guide for how we pick, and the disclosure for how the links work.
