The National Weather Service Consumer Information Site States: "We can not recommend one brand of receiver over another, but we do suggest that you look for receivers which carry the Public Alert logo [above]. The Public Alert Standard (CEA-2009) was developed by the Consumer Electronics Association in conjunction with the National Weather Service. Devices which carry the Public Alert logo meet certain technical standards and come with all the features mentioned above."

What is S.A.M.E.?
S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) allows this radio to be programmed to sound an alert only when weather and other emergencies threaten the selected county (or counties). This technology eliminates all other alerts which are only intended for locations outside the selected area. Weather and other emergencies can occur at any time, day or night. Without S.A.M.E., you could be unnecessarily alerted at any hour for an emergency as far as 100 miles away.

NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from the nearest National Weather Service office. NWR broadcasts official Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Working with the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System , NWR is an "All Hazards" radio network, making it your single source for comprehensive weather and emergency information. In conjunction with Federal, State, and Local Emergency Managers and other public officials, NWR also broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards – including natural (such as earthquakes or avalanches), environmental (such as chemical releases or oil spills), and public safety (such as AMBER alerts or 911 Telephone outages).

Known as the "Voice of NOAA's National Weather Service," NWR is provided as a public service by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Department of Commerce. NWR includes more than 985 transmitters , covering all 50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal. Broadcasts are found in the VHF public service band at these seven frequencies (MHz):
