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. 73 de Keith 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. 73 de keith 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. |

Everyone I've ever had, or that the local government offices had didn't work. We have 2 at the Red Cross office now that even with the FIPS code entered, do not send the alarm when warnings are issued. 73 de Keith -- KC8TCQ ARRL Member - ARES SKYWARN |
