Re: [Repeater-Builder] Weather Alert Radios...The Midland doesn't utilize EOM, you are correct. My solution was to have the controller simply time out the WX receiver when I want it to happen. The radio will reset in a few minutes anyway. I actually don't like the EOM. If you happen to not catch the first part of the transmission, you either have to command the WX RX back on or simply forget it. By using the timer method, it allows you to catch more of the broadcast, which in my area is usually a repeat of the alert. By the way, I'm using an RLC4 and simply utilize one of the ports for the WX radio.
Anyway, it works for me in my "non critical" application. For those that need something totally rock solid, I suggest something more commercial than a $30 radio.

Finding a radio that mutes at the End of message signal is key, I find the ones with 2 minute timers annoying. I was surprised when I bought the $69 one from radio shack for the rv to find that it also mutes at End of message. I bought a second one for backup for the repeater.
