Looks like the answer is if you are willing to pay out big bucks, you can
get a USB rig interface.  The Mercedes and BMW's have been able  to tune
NOAA weather for years.  I think the NOAA frequencies are still blocked by
the big three US manufactures. Anybody have a US auto radio that will tune
the NOAA WX frequencies?

I have to use an HT or the Kenwood TS-733 Dual-bander to get NOAA radio in
the C5 Corvette - radio by GM/Delco.
