I'm down to the ICOM M72(6W) or the Uniden MHS350(5W). My question is the Uniden has this feature S.A.M.E.(Specfic Area Message Alert). There's a code you put in and when N.O.A.A. broadcast, it looks for this code for your immediate area. Is this feature worth it. Does N.O.A.A. cover areas enough to not need this feature when broadcasting.

I'm leaning towards the M72 due to having an extra large speaker. What I'm been told I can put a short whip on my railing and I'm good to go.

Thanks in advance
