same weather radio

(I'm assuming your VHF/weather radio will have transmit capability as well.)

Yes it can, but the caveat here is that you require a switch, similar to:

(This one is manufactured by Shakespeare)
to prevent blowing up your stereo.

As well, performance of your marine VHF will unlikely be quite as good as not having the switch installed. Separate antennas are the optimum solution of course, but if space is an issue, the single antenna and switch may provide an acceptable compromise.

Good Luck!

How many times have you heard a tornado survivor#39;s quavering voice...quot;I woke up... walls were shaking... the bed was shaking... then the ...

This is a Radio Shack cat no. 12-251 weather radio.
The SAME codes are punched in correctly and I have a signal.

how about c-op?

C-OP (check operation) appears. The Weatheradio has not received any type of SAME alert signal (including test or demo signals) for about 192 hours. Make sure the FIPS code(s) stored in memory are correct.

I am looking for a weather radio. I am looking for somewhere in canada like a retail store or a online store that takes Paypall that sells the kind that get the Canadian weather channels. I work security and it is my responsiblity to monitor the weather when it gets bad and I want to get a radio with batary backup and SAME technoligy so I can hear an alert when the warning is for my area and not have to monitor it all night or day when the weather gets bad. I had to cancel my credit cards after a identity theft incedent so I am a little weary of using them online again which is why I want to go paypall or instore.
Thank you for your help.

Ability to Add Remove Alerts
AM/FM Radio with Clock and Alarm
S.A.M.E. Technology
Receives All NOAA Weather Channels
Memory system for 30 Counties

I got a Oregon Scientific weather radio for Christmas. I followed all of the instructions for setting it up to receive all warnings, watches and statements for several of the counties around me, using the S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) codes. With the radio in "notify" mode, I've yet to receive any alerts, not even the Wednesday test message I have read about. Do they no longer send out these signals?

Yes, the SAME codes should work. However, NOAA All-Hazards radio broadcast signals are not very strong when compared to your normal AM or FM commercial radio station. If you are not able to pick up a good signal from your radio, the SAME warnings may not activate. Find out which local National Weather Service office is responsible for your area of interest and contact them for help. You can go to your local NWS office web page and contact the webmaster for help. The following link will take you to your local NWS office web page.

Hope this helps.
