I'm curious as to how these codes are distributed?
This radio may be a good thing to have around as the economy continues to be in a recession. Hopefully, the economy picks up at some point and does not further deteriorate into a full blown depression, as this radio will be one of my only means to get entertainment and news when no one can afford cable TV or streaming rates.
Buying one (radio) now as I may not be able to afford one in the future!

Can anyone who is knowledgeable suggest a top-quality pocket-size NOAA weather radio?
Is this at $22 the sweet spot, or is there something more optimal:
Baofeng UV-5R Two Way Radio Dual Band 144-148/420-450Mhz Walkie Talkie 1800mAh Li-ion Battery(Black) https://a.co/d/cYljL1k

anyway heres my take on it.
STAY AWAY!
- very cheap feeling. material is crap chinese build. (not knocking on chinese people I'm chinese)
- poor reception
- almost impossible to tune with the analog dial. and they way they have the channels an no lines to clearly indiciate what channel you are on.
- low volume.
yes you can save it in case of emergency, but in the case of emergency your life and or your familys life depends on it. .. do you want to risk it on..
- its so crappy if you drop it once it potentially dies
- you may not rececive critical trasmission.
- miss critical transmission because you can't tune into the right frequency properly or over shoot the station when tuning.
Spend alittle more to get good quality and reliablaity thats IMHO.
I bought it for emeregency case and endup returning after testing it out. not worth it. for real emergency.

C. Crane CC Pocket AM FM and NOAA Weather Radio with Clock and Sleep Timer
expensive per say but you life depends on it in emrgencies. and it's one of those you buy and it will last for years.
I would recommend standard AA type instead of any recharagable proprietary battery format.
with FM/AM radios batteries last a long time on it.

mean while your cell towers may already be blown down or by the time you get alerts at the local level, water is already starting to flood or the local road too damanged to get out..

Midland - WR120B/WR120EZ - NOAA Emergency Weather Alert Radio - S.A.M.E. Localized Programming, Trilingual Display, 60+ Emergency Alerts, & Alarm Clock (WR120B - Box Packaging) https://a.co/6mLLxvh
Once you program it, you can pretty much ignore it. If there's a severe weather situation, the sound it emits will definitely get your attention, even if you're asleep.
If you want something for an extended power outage, get a crank radio. Lots of difference ones to choose from.
In terms of something handheld, the advantage of the Baofeng is that it can also transmit, which can save your life in an emergency. You'll need to get a license to operate legally, but, if you spend lots of time in remote areas, it might be worth it.
