Part of that is because not all weather radio broadcasts have the same code in them

The only reason i give it four stars instead of five is because that the alarm that goes off when there is a weather alert is very very loud and i dont know if its possible to lower it

When i first did this the alarm wouldnt go off but there would be an orange light that goes on to indicate that there is bad weather expected in the area
