can you add weather to a radio that didn't come with it do they make a kit or can you take it out of another radio ?
 

Hello All: Anything can be modified, but it sure is taking the long long way to get there. That modification is just plan not practical. Cheaper, easier, and way less hair pulling would be to use a inexpensive scanner radio. Keeping an ear on the weather is a great help. I know got caught in a blizzard in Utah once. So I have a old cheap scanner that monitors the all the weather channels.

i get that but a friend of mine was asking if there is a kit that can be had to put it in the radio so there is no need to have a separate scanner

More radios are more fun than less radios!
There are several inexpensive CB radios that have weather channels built in. Probably find one for cheap on Craigslist.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
