I'm curious. What urgent weather alerts do the State Police broadcast 
that aren't already broadcasted by the National Weather Service?

Wouldn't a NOAA Weather Radio with SAME decoding serve the same 
purpose? A State Police broadcast is going to cover all of the 
counties in their district, but SAME encoding is county-specific.

And, for what it's worth, I get weather notices on my pager through 
www.stormnow.com at about the same time they come out on NOAA Weather 
Radio. And my pager is a lot smaller and lighter than just about any 
VHF radio. StormNow can also send weather alerts to email-capable cellphones.
