Is this by chance a Specific Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E.) filtering / lack of data issue?

At least in my radio, I can't disable certain classes of things (the high and immediate impact warnings like tornado). I would expect the Presidential Alert class to be the same, if it exists.

Can anyone corroborate NOAA weather radios not alerting?

My weather radio went off for the regular weekly test a couple of hours before the national alert test, and did not go off for the national alert. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
