Weather radio in Canada was created by brownc9
I have Talkabout 2-way radios that have an integrated weather radio in them. They bring in like 6 channels (1-6, not any frequency numbers) or so, and they work a lot of places here in Washington. In february I'm going to take a hut trip near Nelson and was wondering if the Canadians use similar frequencies and these radios would pull in a signal up there that would be useful. Any knowledge?

Will my Weather Radio bought in the U.S. work in Canada?
Yes. The U.S. and Canada use the same VHF frequencies to transmit Weatheradio broadcasts. The tone alert and SAME code features will also work in Canada as these are standard across all of North America.
