Hi, Frank...

F>   I can surly see why your concerned with the weather.. Man!

  At least I take the weather warnings seriously. As an example, the
National Weather Services' Flash Flood Safety campaign stresses "Turn
Around...Don't Drown". Basically, if you come to a flooded road, turn
around, and don't drive through it. It only takes 2 feet of moving water
to sweep a vehicle off the road.

  Once in a Little Rock area park, they had part of a road that went
through the park blocked off, due to rushing water from recent rain. A
school bus...full of kids...got to the barricades. The driver moved the
barricades so s/he wouldn't have to take a long detour. The bus got
stuck, and they had to call the fire department, etc. to rescue
everyone. I understand they issued the driver a citation...shoot, I
would have fired them on the spot!!

F>   OK, thanx for the Peet Brothers information.

  Good luck on finding something with their products. The only problem I
ever had with the unit (which is now long since obsolete) was replacing
the batteries every so often.
