<div><b><font size="-2">Hello All,</font></b></div>
<div><b><font size="-2">Has anyone noticed an issue with the Skywarn
alerts since the latest update? At the top of the hour when
it ID's, gives the time and temperature it sometimes announces
"Update Special Weather Statement". It does not seem to be
every hour, maybe every other hour or so. I live in Las Vegas
we do not get a lot of these, mostly wind or excessive heat or
flood in summer. It worked great until I ran the update
Tuesday morning, now I get the messages now and then. It is a
personal node so it is not being broadcast on a repeater but I
was wondering if something changed with the update. Thanks
for any info you can assist with.</font></b><span class="yiv6008928949HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="none">
