    10 years later and the only one in my rural area that's being broadcast on is 162.400, but it's covering a current storm and you laid out all the freqs so I could write those down as well. Thank you so much

    Why does my baofeng say “cancel” on the last digit of every single NOAA channel. I can’t connect to a lot of channels on my radio due to the stupid thing saying “cancel.” I’m a noob to this and need help so I can use this in an emergency and need to here NOAA weather.
