There are dozens of other radios that support SAME but don’t allow for limiting the alert types. Amazon, Radio Shack, Pricechopper all carry Midland Radios: I’d recommend the Midland WR-100, WR-120, or HH54VP2 – all of these can be limited to just Johnson County with S.A.M.E but can’t be limited to not go off for every “Severe Thunderstorm Watch” or “Flash Flood Watch” like the other radios can.
I decided I only want to be awakened for a Tornado warning, which is why I bought a Radio Shack 12-521 for my house.
Here are the types of alerts that can be disabled/enabled in the 12-521 and the WR-300 radios. Asterisks indicate permanently enabled alerts that cannot be disabled.
My wife and I are on a quest – a quest to eliminate every bit of our debt. We each had been independently following Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University plan before we met, and continued to follow it after we got married – but this year, 2010, we decided to get so gazelle intense that we could eliminate our debt by the end of the year. One way we hope to accomplish that is by offering a great deal on our weddings, hoping to book every weekend. If we can book wedding photography every weekend, we will easily be out of debt this year. So brides will get a crazy bargain on photography, and we will be out of debt – a WIN/WIN.
*Package price is $1,000 – facebook/twitter discounts = $650.
Tuesday night Aubree and I went over to our friend Christina’s house to talk photography. She is a nurse that purchased a new Nikon DSLR and is going to take pictures for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, an organization of photographers that donates their time to give mothers memories of their babies that don’t make it. Watch the video on youtube below. It’s an amazing ministry to these moms, and the more I learn about the organization, the more I would like to help – although it looks like it would take a toll on the emotions. Check it out and share your thoughts!
