The DRWX1 Weather Receiver Module provides up-to-the-minute information directly from the National Weather Service (NWS)and can provides good reception even at distances of 70 miles or more. 

The DRWX1 Weather Receiver Module includes a built-in speaker and headphone jack for monitoring weather information on site. The module works in conjunction with the digital recorder/player to automatically interrupt the current message being broadcast upon receipt of the emergency alert from the NWS. The Alert feature (on/ off) as well as the feature to set the duration for broadcasting the alert, is selectable from within the digital recorder/player’s voice prompts.
