Seems to me I've seen a discussion on one of the lists (maybe this one?) regarding the rebroadcast of NWS alerts on a ham repeater... I don't have the rules right in front of me, but I'm thinking that might be legal... Anyone else remember this?

I actually use an AOR scanner on my repeater to listen to select frequencies on all ham bands 160m thru 1.2ghz. This is a high quality scanner and I do not recommend using the cheap ones, they are too prone to interference.
