[edit] Houston, we have a problem - Trademark violation

Weatheradio is, as I'd rather suspected it was, a *trademark* of Tandy Corp for it's NWS receivers. We need to move the current contents of this page to something more appropriately named, and plug in a placemarker here to clarify, I would think. Opinions?

Sorry; I checked that link and it worked, but apparently only because I "still had a session open". Nonetheless, it's been registered since 1968(!).

Would redirecting this article to NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (Or even NOAA All Hazards Radio) be a solution? From the press releases and information I have gathered, this appears to be the prefered name now. Here is a link: [1]. Hope it will be enough clarification.. will wait for a community consensus (if only I could spell it!) --Aika 22:39, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes, NOAA Weather Radio is now officially referred to as NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards [2] because the network also alerts for non-weather related matters (homeland security, AMBER, etc.). I nominate this page to be moved to said new name. --RyguyMN 05:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What additional cleanup is needed?

Does the cleanup tag still need to remain with this article? What else is there left to cleanup? RyguyMN 05:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Separate Articles and Infoboxes -- Please Reply ASAP!!!

Say what are the chances of the stations having their own articles and their own respective infoboxes??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE FEB 6 2007 11:28 PM EST

[edit] Relevant title?

Considering that the article covers three related services, surely naming the article after the largest one is incorrect? Perhaps the best solution is a large "weather radio" article, with three smaller articles for the individual services. matturn 13:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SAME?

I am surprised that this article does not mention the SAME system (Specific Area Message Encoding) this allows for allerts for specific counties in a region where a radio is activated to alarm in the event that severe weather in the specific county is present.
