trying to setup a radio for emergency weather alerts

[vp7759]

Hello all,
as the title suggests, i am trying to program a HT to receive emergency weather alerts. i dont want the noaa forecast always on, so if there is a different system i am unaware of or if you can program EAS into the radio, that would be great.

Some HTs have this feature, so can't answer without knowing what HT you have. I have a small Midland weather radio (3.5 x 1.5 inches) with that feature that was under $20. Midland HH50B Pocket Weather Alert Radio, All NOAA weather Channels , Auto Warns 46014741584 | eBay

If the radio has two tone alerting capabilities, just set them to unmute when it gets a 1050mhz tone

Here is detailed steps to program a Noaa weather radio. Hopefully, by the end of this article, you have a better idea about Midland NOAA weather radio troubleshooting, especially how to program a Midland NOAA weather radio.

probably best to dedicate an actual WX radio for this, as if you are using the HT to talk, you won't get the ALERTS at the same time and end up missing something important.
