Honestly,  the one radio shack puts out now is the same as what everyone
else has out right now,  they're all the same some one told me with
different names and the radio shack one is the cheapest.  I just use my
scanner but that's a lot more money then a plain weather radio, mine does
have the codes in it though I can't get it to work right now,  I'll have to
see if I can make that work a little better, might be the hole I'm in out
here though
