The most common reason is that you have placed your receiver somewhere in your home or business where the NWR signal cannot reach. NWR transmitters operate at either 500 or 1000 watts of power. This is very low power when compared to a large FM radio station that broadcasts at 50-100,000 watts.

If the radio goes for ten days without receiving a test, it gives out one beep every ten minutes. The radio will re-set itself at the next weekly test, or the next watch/warning issuance. SOLUTION: To cancel the beeping, unplug the radio from the wall, turn the radio over, and remove one battery.
