That surprises me.

Did the newer alert not get bridged into the same system that NOAA 
radios use?

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

Can anyone corroborate NOAA weather radios not alerting?

This seems like a failure to me.

Or there's an official deprecation for the venerable NOAA / S.A.M.E. 
radios that I grew up with, which I'm not aware of.
