I just bought a Midland NOAA-SAME Weather Alert Radio. I was told that all the weather alerts applying to TV are broadcast from a tower in Sumterville. So when prompted, I set the radio to Zone 5 or Station 5, the only selection on the radio that provided much of a signal. (I guess that's the Sumterville tower.)

Is that pretty much all there is to it? The instruction book provided some information for programming in specific broadcast stations. I didn't do that because I was told that pretty much all the alerts now come from Sumterville (the "5" choice on the radio menu), not individual broadcast stations as was the case before. Also, I set the radio to get all the 'Alerts" not just the "warnings". Is that a mistake that will keep us awake every night it rains? Should we simply limit the setting to "warnings"?

Comments or suggestions from those of you expert in the use of the NOAA radios would be appreciated.
