My brother cleaned house and gave them to his friends. Yes, really.

I now have an Eton SolarlinkFR370 with an L. L. Bean label on it. It has about 13 different kinds of alarms (dam break, surf's up, flood warning, flood watch, aliens, asteroids, etc.). Programming that thing -- wow.

Every now and then I post a thread about Mark Trail and his touting weather band radios. I'll find it.
