cheap enough to negate building your own from scratch.


Radio Shack sells them, for well under $100. However, the model I had
can only be programmed for location, not for alert type. (i.e. you can
program which counties it'll go off for, but it'll go off for all types
of alert for those counties. If they issue another Amber Alert at 3am
I'm going to turn the d*mned thing off...)

I heard the ad again. Midland WR-100, $39.95 at Walgreen's. Says its
programmable for 60 types of alerts, municipality coding, etc.
