Weather Alert Radios

I have one that is similar to the one I will post in the link below. It works good enough for my camper needs. And, because it is also a AM FM radio I can take it with me to listen to music and regular radio programs. I do wish it had SAME technology so that it would only go off when there is a storm close by to me but, it works good enough.

I have this Midland



and this Radio Shack.



Of the 2, I think I like the Radio Shack a little better. The Midland lives in my RV and the Radio Shack lives in my S&B house.

GRMS radios with NWS channels on it. We use the radios for backing into the site and then use the weather part for the rest of the trip.

Electric with battery backup. We leave it plugged in all the time.
You can either leave the counties on "all" or program specific counties. At home we program our counties. When we travel we leave it on "all" counties so we have more warning. It has S.A.M.E technology.

When you arrive at your destination, you scan the channels for the one with the best reception. Very simple. It also has an alarm clock.

I've been using a set of GRMS radios that have the NWS broadcast channel. No alerts per-say, but we only check them if we think something is brewing. While we have smart phones and tablets, often the NWS reports on their frequency are most accurate and up to date.
