If you want to see where the feeds are coming from then check out radioreference.com. Phreqd is correct. As long as the provider has the proper equipment and programming then there shouldn't be a problem with the switching to digital. @ automan69.

The sound quality coming out of my Bold is fantastic but it eats batteries like nothing else. Automan: this works by people plugging their scanners into their computer and streaming the output. So as long as they have scanners that pick up digital broadcasts and encryption, you'll hear it. If they don't, you won't.

I use webmessanger messagealerts to make a unique sound for the alerts. They're very good. I usually get an alert at least 30 min. Before a t-storm comes rolling in.

If you use this you will see that not all frequencies are working. I'm not to sure if the developer knows this or has a way around it? Just my 2 cents.

Now if they can make it set off an alarm when severe weather is in your area. I'd pay much more for that. Works great. Now if they can make it set off an alarm when severe weather is in your area.

Wow. I've been waiting for something like this for the last 2 years since I bought my Curve. “You’ll always have unrestricted access to the weather radios whether or not you decide to register.”
