Weather Radio?
Was wondering if any one uses and could recommend a good quality Weather Radio for inside a TT. For a portable unit, I've been looking at the Midland 54VP2 http://www.buytwowayradios.com/products/m...

Weather radio is obsolete and will go the way of LORAN/LORAC, RED/GREEN lane and other old technologies. So why waste hard earned money on a dinosaur?
Because when you have no cell service, you probably will have a NWR signal. Redundancy - it can save your life.
If you look at the coverage map for NOAA weather channel you will notice it is similar to Verizon cell service. Then one can also use satellite TV, local TV or Radio for weather warnings. I have found the weather channel application on my PC and smart phone provides great service and you can actually see the weather (tornados/hurricanes/snow/hail as they occur in your area. The NOAA weather report is mostly useless for those in unfamiliar areas because they talk about the weather in towns and counties that are unfamiliar. My weather app eliminates any confusion as to where the bad weather is at. Also the wave propagation for the NOAA channels are greatly impacted by the weather
Cell phone extender would be a better investment if you are in fringe areas.
