Any suggestions for a good SAME handheld WX alert? I also want to be able to use an a/c adapter on it for home use.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Don't know if anyone's responded to you yet about this, but here goes anyway.
I am a fan of the Oregon Scientific WR103NX. It's very portable and can run off 3 AA batteries or an included AC adapter. And it's SAME capable.
I'd really shop around for this one though. Oregon Scientific is currently offering it direct for $49.95, but I've seen them elsewhere for less.
Hope this helps,

I am also looking for a handheld SAME unit. I found this website, which has a good listing of most models of Wx Radios (both handheld and desktop): http://www.weatherradiostore.com/default.asp
The WR103 is nice, but this one (WR108) has all of the features of that model, plus a "true" docking station with built-in rechargable Ni-MH batteries, which automatically recharge upon placement on the docking station. It also has a self-setting clock. This seems to be one of the better ones I've found. It's more expensive, but I like the recharging feature.
That website may not have the best prices though.
