Hi, all.

Below is a response that I got from a meteorologist at the NWS Office in
Grand Rapids, MI, concerning whether the newly-upgraded weather warning
system will affect the SAME code functioning of the weather radios we
currently have.

The response doesn't contain a lot of information, but seems pretty clear
that there will be no real effect.

Just thought I'd pass the info along.
