One like it was my first weather radio. Anyone else? LOL

The Cube! I had one of those as a kid! That may very well be my first weather radio b/c I don't remember anything prior to it.

It does kind work as a weather radio.

It's getting to the point where the tuning isn't as good, but I can still pick up some signals if I point the antenna in the right direction. :-)

Bringing this up from the deep. My cheapie weather radio seems to have died due to battery discharge, and it refuses to recharge. What's the current solution for weather radios these days? If 'there's an app for that', that'll work, too, but would like some way of getting the NOAA weather and alerts should our power be out. Thanks.

Seems to work fine and I believe it's still for sale. But, yes, there are also a few apps and most are free.
