[Paddlewise] Weather radios

Jackie recently mentioned her weather radio, which contains an "alert"
beeper. I'm in the market for a radio and would appreciate hearing what
folks recommend (also the best sources). As most of my paddling will be
considerably inland, I unfortunately won't get to take advantage of the VHF
systems. What sort of range do the small handheld weather radios have? The
only one I've seen advertised is the "Weather One," and I have no way of
knowing how adequate it is. I'd welcome any discussion on this topic.

Thanks,
Kate
