I have been meaning to pick up a weather radio for some time but most of the radios I have seen seemed cheesier to me. I only wanted a weather radio not a flash light with a hand crank, inverter, pocket knife If that makes any sense at all.
I found the Midland WR-100. It is simply a weather radio the only frill is that it uses the S.A.M.E technology so I only get the alerts for the county that I am currently in. That means I won't be woken up in the middle of the night for an alert two counties away.

Publix had a promotion going with one of the local tv stations to push those. The weather forecaster from the station was at different Publix stores a couple of days a week with people who would program the radio for your area.
It didn't seem all that difficult to me, but of course, Dale did it!

Steven and I purchased the same weather radio.
Here is the link to get the S.A.M.E. weather radio codes County by County. It also has the frequency codes.
Hope the link works.

Thanks for the link Lesa. I already have it saved here but you reminded me that I need to save it on the phone for use when camping.
PS Nice to hear from you again. It's been too long.
