Thats cool, but I'm guessing a lot of people arn't going to haul one around.

I have a weather alert feature on my hunting Walkie-talkies, along with scan and a FM feature.
You can set the alert to activate when ever there is an alert, while using the W-T feature.

I'l have to look them up, been around for a few years and were not expensive for a pair.

OK, not excactly what I use, but close, like I said mine have a FM feature (Football games Sun afternoon).
