Since an office can cover a lot of ground, you may find yourself receiving a lot of alerts that don't concern you. This can get pretty old when an alert about a storm 60 miles away sets off an alarm that wakes you up in the middle of the night. I didn't get much sleep in the spring with one of these sitting on my nightstand in alert mode. The S.A.M.E. radios can be programmed on a county by county basis to only alarm when there is a concern in your immediate area. If you are in a stormy part of the country, and want to leave the alert capability turned on, S.A.M.E. is worth the money and the effort to program it.
Some weather radios plug into the wall.
Check to see if they also have battery backup. A weather radio that doesn't work during a power failure is pretty useless. All of my AC powered radios have battery backup power. Some radios only run on batteries. If you leave those on in alert mode too long, the batteries will die.
