Transmitter Coverage Maps for West and Central Upper Michigan, Including SAME Codes

NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards receivers, with or without special alerting features, can be purchased at many electronics and discount stores and are available from several manufacturers. The most sophisticated Weather Radio receivers are SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) capable. SAME capable receivers can be programmed via a small keypad on the receiver to alert or turn on only for specific areas (typically counties) and specific hazardous emergencies. In this manner, you won’t be alerted to a warning or hazard which is not of interest to you. If you own or plan on purchasing an NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards receiver that is SAME capable, click below on the thumbnail of the transmitter near your location to obtain the SAME codes for programming your receiver.
