National Weather Service equipment

Please give me an opportunity as an amateur to offer you a product for
which you may be interrested.

Over the last several years several issues have come up, some concerning
amateurs.  One was about the reairing of the National Weather Service's
transmissions.  Another was about the protocol that the NWS used to
diseminate warnings to specific areas.  The first come out that amateurs
could reair NWS transmissions over amateur frequencies for the direct use
of amateurs, specially those involved in SKYWARN type activities.  The
second resulted in the formation of the Emergency Alert System.

We have created a device that can decode the Specific Area Messages
contained in the National Weather Service's portion of the EAS protocol and
reair those warnings over an amateur station for use in informing or
activating amateur spotter groups.

We have been using a prototype device for several years and have found the
medium to be much faster than older mediums and to be quite reliable.  The
final product is nearing a shipable state, and orders will start to be
accepted soon.

To keep from wasting any more newsgroup time, I ask that if you want more
information on what we call our National Weather Specific Area Message
Decoder (NWSAMD) then please visit:
