New LINgo Weather Alert and Emergency Radio

June 21, 2005 - It used to be that sudden weather changes were things that only boaters and shore home owners had to worry about on a regular basis. But, as anyone today knows only too well, sudden and severe weather changes have become frequent events in all of our lives - be it from hail, tornados, hurricanes, and summer Nor' Easters.

Now LINgo, the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of travel products, has developed a breakthrough product that will help you stay on top of all sudden weather developments: the state of the art LINgo NOAA Weather Alert & Emergency Radio. It's available now for immediate delivery through www.lingotravel.com or from select retailers and catalogs.

Carrying a suggested retail price of $99.95, the compact, rugged, and water-resistant LINgo Weather Alert & Emergency Radio should be part of every family's emergency preparedness program. The indoor-outdoor AM/FM digital radio scans all seven National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather radio channels (frequency range 162.40, 162.425, 162.45, 162.475, 162.50, 162.525, and 162.55Mhz) while monitoring the U.S. Emergency Alert System. The Weather Alert & Emergency Radio automatically broadcasts 24-hour local weather forecasts and alerts - even if the radio is not turned on. The Radio also displays SAME event messages on its back-lit LCD display to ensure that you get the emergency information you need. What's more, all NOAA broadcast messages are automatically stored - so you never miss a weather development.

Going beyond its automatic weather alerts, the new LINgo Weather Alert & Emergency Radio also comes with a built-in detachable compass, torch, SOS flashlight and SOS alarm. What's more, it also features a digital alarm clock (with snooze) and a temperature display that automatically updates the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded every 24 hours.

You may not be able to do anything about the weather, but with the new LINgo Weather Alert & Emergency Radio in your home, you'll never be caught off guard by a sudden change in the weather.
