We have, in both truck and trailer, wx alert fx provided from Kenwood
12v mobile ham radios. Tried a portable battery-powered wx-alert radio with a northwest state name. Battery didn't last, reception inside trailer was horribly inadequate, and required programming SAME codes each time we moved. We found ourselves looking up new county and four touching counties - what a pita!
Exterior antenna is great! Always have good signal. Automatic wx alert works well, although alert tone scares the pants off us. Too, if must leave truck and trailer behind, can carry Cobra WXST portable CB/WX handheld radio. Not good for automatically scanning because always turned off. But good for handheld, in a pinch.
