    I'm considering buying one of these and would like to know:

    (A) Is it a good radio?

    (b) Are the weather alerts good when the weather is bad??

    Yes, I like it. Especially for the WX. But it still goes without saying.


    If your antenna's are junk, the radio will be junk.

    I like the backlight and I like the WX. That's the entire reason I bought that radio.

    I loved mine when I had it. The Nightwatch is great if your constantly playing with the knobs, and the weather alert was great. Never been a fan of the sound tracker, I never had it on. My current 29 is a NW ST and its the first 29 I can leave it on all the time and not loose any range. I think its probably the best lowbuck radio on the market. Have it Peaked and tuned, and add talkback and you'll love it. Mine tuned was pushing 35 watts from appalachin ________ (spelling) at the T/A in Knoxville TN. They have always done me right. (havnt been there in years now as I'm not over the road anymore.)

    O crank the squelch to max, and use the RF Gain to adjust for static, and replace the inline fuse for a 5 amp....
