  • Good deal on a WX radio on clearance @ Wal-mart







    I was at sporting goods picking up some things when I noticed they had these little battery powered radios that pick up Weather alerts with Same Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E) and they were on clearance for $19 a piece.

    I have more WX radios in my home than most folks have light switches ;)

    One in my bedroom picks up only alerts for my county. One in my Kitchen picks up the county I live in and those I work in. The one in my ham shack picks up ALL alerts for my area since I am a SKYWARN spotter (www.skywarn.org) I like to know what is going on when I am on a net in the surrounding areas. I also have one setup in my garage with an external speaker and flashing light setup to go off when there are Wx alerts for my county and I am outside in the yard...

    I work outside and have always wanted one of these battery powered for use in the work truck. I carry a ham HT in my work bag that can get the NWS freq, but it doesn't go off when there is a WX alert. So to me this thing is really gonna be nice. I don't expect a storm to sneak up on my as I consider myself an amateur meteorologist but I do like to know when a band storm might be heading my way.

    Works off of 2 AA's batteries and the radio picks up 2 of the stations I use very clearly. Can wait for it to go off tomorrow @ lucnhtime when they do the weekly test!

    I can sure see one of these things coming along on the camping trip :)

    So if your wally world has these in stock and on Clearance for $19 jump ALL over it.

    You should also have a WX radio for your home with S.A.M.E alerts cause they are handy to have so you got time to get to safety if 'something wicked this way comes!'

    Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to
    beat you to death with it because it is empty.

    The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
