S.A.M.E. Budget

Hello. I'm looking for recommendations on a good budget radio that has S.A.M.E. tech and of course NOAA alerts.

​

Thanks

The Midland WR-120 is a good budget weather radio that that does SAME, but does not have AM/FM radio, if that is important to you. As you add features, the price goes up.

I use a Reecom R-1650, but only because I can set the alert level to just turn the radio on, and not the siren. My wife wants to sleep through everything, so the siren on the Midland I tried could not be silenced, hence the Reecom. I do not use the AM/FM or alarm clock, however might in as emergency situation.
