019 - Weather Alert Radios and Weather Alert Monitoring

Severe Weather Monitoring goes beyond just scanning.   I believe that every home and business should have a weather alert radio in a location that is centralized.   A weather alert radio can be a life saving device and should be given the same importance as smoke detectors, CO alarms, Explosive Gas meters, and fire extinguishers. In this session, we discuss how to use your scanner as a weather alert radio, how to monitor weather activity from SKYWARN via Amateur Radio, GMRS, and FRS. I also recommend a few dedicated Weather Alert radios that you can purchase for less than $50 (USD). Step by Step instructions for purchasing and setting up a weather alert radio can be found in the show notes at www.scannerschool.com/session19  or at www.scannerschool.com/wxalert
