New NOAA Weather Radio Service for areas
near Center, Texas


New NOAA Weather Radio located near Center Texas.

This new NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is located near Center, TX. This radio will primarily serve Center, Texas, and surrounding counties. It will broadcast on a frequency of 162.525 MHz with the call sign of WNG-65.

Reception of the broadcasts requires a receiver capable of receiving FM signals in the 162 to 163 MHz range. Most stores which sell radios or consumer electronic equipment, carry NWR receivers. A feature of the NWR is a warning alarm system which will let listeners know when severe weather Watches and Warnings are issued for their area.

NOAA Weather Radio receivers are generally of two types - one in which the receiver's warning alarm sounds for all watches and warnings issued for Shelby and surrounding counties and a more sophisticated model in which the user can specifically program which counties they wish to be alerted for.
