[Electronics-talk] Weather Radio

[Mark J. Cadigan]

You can also tune into the local NOAA frequencies with a basic police 
scanner. That is what I do. I also use the scanner to listen to other 
things. It is quite interesting to hear what's going on in the surrounding 
community by the chatter on the police radios.
