The CL-100 is a Public Alert Certified weather radio and receives all NOAA reports informing people about severe weather advisories, monitors and warning conditions, civil emergencies, hazards, and evacuation details, so you can have more time to react before dangerous storms hit your area.

The radio is also listed as a Public Alert Radio. The CL-100 can function with either fixed/embedded antennas for great reception of AM/FM/Weather from all directions, or you may purchase the optional ANT-100 magnetic spiral antenna (sold separately) to zero in on distant or weak stations in remote areas. Finding the S. A.M. E. county codes on NOAA's web-site is easy and you can simply program them into the CL-100 and store up to 25 county codes to sound alerts for surrounding counties as well your area's weather forecast.
