Default VHF reception on the cheap

In article ,

They have a VHF receiver that is listed as a 2 meter
amateur receiver but is tunable to any 5 mHz section between 130 and
180 mHz so it should work. Cost is under $50 - of course you can also
find pre-built weather radios for less but then you miss the fun of
assembling the kit.


Several models of Sony Walkman have WB reception, including a $30 model.
The problem with them is thy use the same bandwidth as they do for FM
broadcast reception, but will work if NOAA signal is strong.
