[wxqc] NOAA Weather Radio

[gary.oldham at adelphia.net]

I don't know about weather radios per se in terms of uploading to the web, but there are programs like the one from http://www.interwarn.com that automatically grab alerts by county and can upload them to the web, and you can decide which counties you want monitored and which type of watches/warnings/etc. you want uploaded.  Interwarn runs around $35 if I remember right with no subscription costs.  There are others as well, though Interwarn is popular.  You can also do the same thing using PHP - there are scripts freely available for use on a web page - but that's beyond the scope of this list.  For the PHP approach, your web host must support PHP (most paid hosts do, most freebie sites such as that given to you by most ISPs do not).  There is considerable discussion on the subject and scripts readily available at http://www.weatherforum.net.

Has anyone had any experience with the Emergency Alert Radio (model 5120)
from MTS? http://emergencyalertradio.com/.
 
 It looks like a nice addition to a weather web site, but a bit pricey
($310). I'd like to hear some comments before spending the money.
 
Are there any other weather radios that support uploading alerts to the web?
 
Thanks
Dennis
