Tom,
Just be sure you've picked the right station for your area. One day, I kept
getting weather alerts every fifteen minutes or so, which didn't make sense
because the warnings they gave were for locations several miles away. When
I checked to see what station I had, sure enough, it was the wrong one.
Fortunately, once you select the station, it doesn't change unless you
change it.
Steve
