Just to clarify, the NWS stations can be copied on any VHF receiver capable of receiving FM on the above frequencies (scanners, many amateur rigs and HTs). There are"special" weather-only receivers that monitor the local station, but stay muted until the station sends out an alert tone to warn of weather or other public emergency situations. There are often promotional sales of these at this time of year, the onset of summer storm season. IIRC, 162.55 may be the most commonly used regional channel.
