NOAA Weather Radio WWF-75 Bourbon MO 📻⛈️ (6/27/2021,

Recorded from a Radio Shack 12-254. The beeping in the background is a StrikeAlert lightning detector.

is your 254 your only WX radio?

[@Pyrotech56]

No, but it's one of the two portable ones that I have that I'll take on trips.

@@Pyrotech56 (apologies for late response) ah, that’s nice. i also own a 254 as well (and have been since march of this year), and it’s a pretty decent handheld for what it is

@@jayCLTeeee My other handheld is a 12-259 that, interestingly, I've had for a very long time, but it's hardly been used. That one is more sturdy and I'll usually only use that one for camping or other rugged use. In the other one, 3 AA batteries in the 12-254 will last FOREVER. I have to make sure I remove the batteries between uses so they don't eventually leak.

@@Pyrotech56 there’s a volume slider on the 254 that also functions as a ON/OFF power switch, so you don’t need to take off the batteries off of your 254 whenever you want to stop using it
