I'm looking for a pocket / portable weather radio. It would be great to find something that I could configure with S.A.M.E codes and event blocking (if any have one or both of those features). Thanks!

I have a Radio Shack model 12-522 and when in strong electromagnetic fields, it stops working and even loses its settings. So I'd avoid that one. In electrically quiet areas it would probably be a good radio.

If'n ya' got a phone type gizmo, there are a few 'apps' ( I hate that term) for them that can be configured. Some have ads though, but I've found one or two that don't, or at least not 'in your face' ones.
-
Are there specifically any portable weather radios that support Event Blocking? I can't seem to find any...

I think this radio does: First Alert SFA1130

I went with the AcuRite portable one with the AC adaptor base station. Thanks, guys! :)
It's very easy to set up. The one strike against it is that you cannot turn off alerts for any of the Warnings which is really annoying.
