I purchased this inexpensive NOAH WX Radio model 12-260 from Radio Shack. It only has one smart mode and that is it will find the transmitting WX CHANNEL when you first turn it.
I didnt think I would want to have one of the really smart mode NOAH receivers as you would have to program it for all of the areas and counties you will be going thru.
I have this WX Radio wired directly to 12VDC using one of those multi-tap DC output adapters. I think this radio radio requires 6.0VDC to operate. I removed the batteries... The only time I turn it off is when I am in travel mode with my POPUP top down. This radio is good and loud and does what it is suppose to do sounding off the various BAD WEATHER alerts..
AS discussed on some other posts here recently you should always be aware of the county you are in including the surrounding counties in order to fully understand the radio alerts.
