Unless you have your amateur radio license, stick with UHF. As for channels, you need to use FRS frequencies.

The frequencies are posted on ASC and can be easily googled.

As for the NOAA frequencies, you need to search for the channels that are available in your area. (But they are on VHF)

Edit: just checked because I was doubting myself. There are some weather uplinks on UHF but it really depends on your distance from the station. Some weather offices send UHF uplinks to their VHF repeaters so if in close enough proximity, you can hear the broadcasts.

Option: get a dual band radio
