Hi Don and Bob and the group. I am somewhat active in skywarn and radio,
but I have been so busy with other things here. What features do these
new radios have? I use either my TTHF6A or one of my scanners for my NOAA
Weather needs. Does anyone know of a scanner that will come on if there
are emergencies and the weather alarm goes off? You would think that the
other radios out there would have this.
