I'm looking to buy a weather alert radio that has the local
restrictions. I can't remember what they are called, but it
doesn't blast you out of bed for a river valley flood warning
that is 50 miles away.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

Thx.

Look for any weather radio that has S.A.M.E. in order for it to be
programmed properly you'll need to know your county FIPS code but
that can be found online.

try this link

www.weatherradiostore.com

You can also get regular scanners that have this feature.

Thanks for the link, Keith.
hey no problem, I just remembered I have a CD that has the FIPS code
for every state and every county state code is 39 and your county code
is 103, Also some weather radios will allow you to enter several
codes, in other words if you want to hear alerts for neighboring
areas, like the ones that would get hit before you would so you have
advance warning.

Cool, that's what I'm looking for instead of hearing the alarm
go off and tell me the Chagrin river is at flood stage at 2am.

Thanks again.

heheh, I could have been a smart ass and gave you a code for an area
prone to weather events like oklahoma or something, but I'm a nice
guy...... or am I?

I'd likely verify the code first, you nice guy!

you'd have to ask the high school princippal who's
car I welded to the lift in auto shop at the vocational high school (I
didn't take auto shop btw so they couldn't pin it on me, they never
figured it out)

Damn that's a good one! Did they have to torch it loose?


heh yeah they did, I used to pull a few good jokes there, including a
bottle of skunk scent poured onto a shop rag and dropped down the
ventilation system for the main office.
