Vremenski sateliti NOAA oddajajo APT slikice v frekvenčnem pasu 137-138 MHz. Širina frekvenčnega pasu oddajanega signala je približno 36 kHz. Takšen signal bo pri sprejemu z običajnim ozkopasovnim FM sprejemnikom precej popačen. Vendar se da tudi z navadno ročno FM postajico vsaj na enem kanalu detektirati dokaj uporabno sliko.

NOAA weather satellites are transmitting APT pictures in the 137-138 MHz band. The signal has a bandwith of approx. 36kHz. If received and demodulated with a narrow-FM receiver, such a signal will be heavily distorted and some information will be lost. However, a picture of some use (at least on one of the two APT channels) can be obtained even with a basic "handy" VHF station.
