New NOAA Weather Radio Service for Extreme Northeast Texas
This new NOAA Weather
Radio (NWR) is located near Marietta, TX. This radio will
primarily serve extreme northeast Texas including the counties
of Bowie, Cass, Marion and Morris. It will broadcast on
a frequency of 162.525 MHz with the call sign of WNG-653.
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 all four counties covered
by this transmitter, and a more sophisticated model in which
the user can specifically program which counties they wish
to be alerted for. |
