I didn't get to your post before doing a quick google search. This one has the sales info on it. http://www.ambientweather.com/fialwxemalra1.html
Skip, I like this one. It has the technology I was talking about but we don't have. This is the one I'd like to have. I think we bought ours at Walmart years ago. It's a Midland Weather Monitor Model: 74-109 and has a telescoping antenna. We have it sitting on the bedroom dresser next to the curtains. I found this link to a used one with picture.

I like the one you are looking at better as it's newer technology and has the ability to choose which alerts will trigger the alarm. I think we paid $40-50 for ours several years ago. It has an AC adapter with batteries as backup. I have to remember to turn it off when we hit the road so it won't run on batteries all day.

By the way, Skip, we've seen a lot of flyfishermen here in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I still want to learn how to do that someday and will take you up on your offer to teach me.

ed. Vicki says we bought it at Radio Shack. She's probably right.
