: First and foremost, you need to purchase a NOAA All-Hazards SAME encoded
: weather radio.

How are these NOAA SAME alert receivers?

I have two "EAS", Emergency Alert Sentinel" receivers for alerts from local 
radio stations which test randomly around four in  the morning.  After the 
family getting blasted out of bed at 0400 a couple of times they've been 
relegated to the scrap pile.

Are the SAME receivers prone to these useless and alarming tests that most 
likely result in them getting tossed?  The alerts are great.  All the false 
alerts, "tests" aren't.
