frequency range. RDS stations have the follow-
ing properties:
>In the case of broadcasting networks that 
transmit over a number of frequencies, 
there is an automatic switch to the fre-
quency with the best reception quality.
>If the reception conditions are good, the 
station names are shown on the Control 
Display. If the reception is weak or dis-
rupted, it can take some time before the 
station names appear.
Weather Band*
Weather Radio is a service of the National Oce-
anic and Atmospheric Administration – NOAA – 
of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Weather 
messages are repeated every four to six min-
utes and are routinely revised every one to three 
hours, or more frequently if needed. Most of the 
stations operate 24 hours daily. During severe 
weather, National Weather Service forecasters 
can interrupt the routine weather broadcasts 
and substitute special warning messages. If you 
have a question concerning NOAA Weather 
Radio, please contact your nearest National 
Weather Service Office, or write to National 
Weather Service – Attn: W/OM11 –, National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 
1325 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD. 
20910.

for specific reasons such as environmen-
tal or topographic conditions and others that 
Satellite Radio cannot directly control.
Signal may not be available under tunnels, in 
parking garages, next to tall buildings, nearby 
trees with dense foliage, nearby mountains or 
other possible strong sources of radio interfer-
ence.
Service should resume normally after the 
source of signal unavailability has been
