[Electronics-Talk] Question relating to Weather Radios

This might be a stupid but from where can the codes be obtained?

I have the Midland and absolutely love it.  However, I needed sighted
assistance for programming in the SAME code.  I had no problem setting the
correct frequency but wasn't able to figure out how to get the SAME code in
there.  The good thing about this is that you only have to do it once.  Just
make sure you have working batteries in case of a power outage or if you
plan to only use it battery power and you should be good to go once the
initial input of the SAME code.  

I do not use the alarm clock or any of the other features on the radio.
Hope this helps.
Dennis

Hi,

I hope this finds all happy and well. I tried to find a group archive to see
if this was covered before but couldn't find one so here am I apologizing in
advance for repetition if this has already been addressed. In light of
recent and more frequent extreme weather I found myself wanting to purchase
a weather radio as the ones I had in earlier times are long gone.

I find myself stuck between the C-Crane SkyWave2 and the Midland - WR120B -
NOAA Emergency Weather Alert Radio - S.A.M.E. Localized Programming,
Trilingual Display, 60+ Emergency Alerts, & Alarm Clock (WR120B.

The Midland is certainly cheaper and boasts the S.A.M.E more targeted alerts
but what gives me pause is whether or not a blind person can even set any of
that up.

I was just wondering if any on this list have either of these radios
specifically for weather alerts as that'd be my primary use for such or if
there are any other recommendations that might be more advantageous for
those of us who are blind.

Thanks in advance.

Take good care,

Robin
