Weather Radio Selectivety
 
I am having problems with the lack of selectivity in the weather radios I have tried so far. Some of them have terrible rates of False alerting. Can anyone recommend a brand or model that has worked out to be relatively immune to false alerts in your usage experience.

I have owned a RadioShack 12-259 for several years now and it has proven
very reliable. That said, I am less than 10 miles from the transmitter
site, but having taken it to work or other locations 20+ miles out, it has
still done well, despite not having an external antenna connection.

I don't know if they still sell this model, but I know it is readily
available under other brand names (mine is an older green color, the new
ones are red).

Hope this helps.
