... I have a nice weather radio at home. In addition
to that the Subaru Outback has the cold-weather package which includes
integrated weather radio.

Spoken like the true sailor you are. Do you take the Subaru with you?

The reason my handheld gets WX use is because if I get up early I don't want to wake
others onboard by running the radio. I'll often go to the stern with the handheld. Also,
there are times I want to get WX but maintain radio watch on 16.
