[BC] Cell phones and NOAA

[Steve]

Hi Ron!

It stands for "Specific Area Message Encoding". I JUST purchased a weather
radio from "The Shack" and it has that option. You can preset the receiver
to pickup only alerts for your area. Down here in Alabama we have many
counties (I border Florida as well) so it comes in handy. It's much like
programming an EAS receiver for alerts that only affect your broadcast area.

Hope this helps and here's the web site if you would like more information.

  Will someone please define SAME?  I'm not familiar with that term.

  Thanks,

  I just bought what may be the last 2  12-258 units in the Bakersfield
area.
  Going to send to family in SW Ohio and  friends in Agusta, GA.
  Seems they have had a bout of bad weather.
