Excellent points on the WX band, Gray.

Like you, I only use the flashing LED for alert now. It seems the weather
service thinks a severe thunderstorm 100 miles away is cause enough to
generate an alarm. The first one I got on "alarm" was a real 2 AM
eye-opener.

Yep; the weatherradio I have in the bedroom is one of the ones which has
"SAME" - the feature that only sets off the alarm when the alert is for the
county in which I live. (It's the RadioShack model which has two reception
channels - $40??)
