>I also have a Radio Shack weather radio of similar price/description and >found two limitations with it; 1) it only picks up three NOAA stations and >2) its range is somewhat limited. Not much can be done about 1) Nor should there be. There ARE only three frequencies that NOAA broadcasts on. SInce it's mostly regional info, range is also short -- they're low powered. So no matter where you are, at least one of those three should have a station on it, and you don't have to carry a listing of what station is where. I wouldn't mind more sensitivity in the receiver, though.... What would also improve the situation would be for NOAA to go back to using humans to make the announcements. That synthesized voice is very primitive, technically, and often unintelligible. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Mar 09 2000 - 13:01:43 PST
