[BC] NOAA weatherradio

[Scott Cason]

>>I saw a Midland radio the other day that not only did SAME codes, but FIPS
codes as well.

As I understand it, SAME and FIPS are the same thing.  The weather people
call them SAME the broadcast people call them FIPS



>>Great back-up EAS receiver perhaps?

Flip it.  The EAS is a good back up to the weather radio.  I have been in
too many stations and seen how the sausage is made.  I wouldn't depend on
broadcast radio for something this serious.  During one particular evening
of bad weather, I had a PD ask me the next day to remove the thunderstorm
watches and warnings and tornado watches and warnings from the EAS box
because they interrupted the programming too much.  I agreed to take all
watches out, but the warnings stayed.
