[Electronics-talk] NOAA Siren?

[barb o'connor]

I have the Midland NOAA weather radio that I purchased at a grocery chain. 
As far as its accessibility, I just let my husband program what we wanted. 
We wanted the alerts from 2 counties.  You can also choose whether you want 
an audible alert or just something on the screen.  Obviously, I want the 
audible alert.  It's a long tone that gets your attention.  I like it 
because if I'm in another part of the house, I hear it and I can check to 
see what's going on as far as the weather goes.

Hope this helps you decide what you want to do.

Barb
