That is the way the NWS refers to them.  That is the only reason.

Subject: O/T: NOAA WX Radio Channel program Order

This "Inquiring mind" is curious.

Is there a particular reason why the  NOAA WX Radio channel group in 
Kenwood radios is programmed in what appears to me to be a random order?

For instance, by default, 162.550 is in channel 1, and then it kind of 
goes crazy with no apparent logical ordering sequence for the other 9
channels.

In my area, even during band openings, I have never heard a signal on 
the 161.x and 163.x channels, which were the last ones added for that 
service several years ago.
