weather band radio

Has anyone seen any decent portable radios (am/fm) that also has a weather band? Ideally, I would like like a small boom box type radio that plays CD's and also gets the weather band but I don't think they make such a thing. How about a decent weather band only radio? Any one found a battery operated WB radio that you are happy with?

Sure, Radio Shack used to make one, try their website.

I haven't used ours in years though, 'cuz my handheld VHFs all have marine weather stations.

I still have the Radio Shack weather radio I bought 25 years a go. Works forever on one 9 volt battery. If you could use a handheld also I'll second the idea about using handhelds. I don't think you can get a handheld VHF without a weatherband.
