    it's not really used, hardly at all. The only place I've actually seen it when I had my Crapara was on I-4, downtown Orlando.

    The last time I had a SWS alert was in fall of 2002 when my then-new whistler 1665 alerted me to heavy fog ahead, as if I couldn't figure that out looking through the windshield.

    I had one yesterday, but it was a walgreens door opener that apparently fell out of tune.

    I had a dream last night about a SWS alert.


    Anyways, the only real alert I have received and I have received it a handful of times was "A train is approaching" alert on my Cobra ESD-6200.

    in Quincy MA around the North Quincy T Station.
    However the tracks are fenced in, so there is no reason for the alert since cars can't get to the tracks.

    No train ever came either.
