A radio that will use this code

KXI75 alerts are only useful inside a radio you can program the s codes above into. Two that do it, for two different jobs.

At home, always on

Hearing KXI75

Any receiver that tunes 162.475 MHz FM can listen: scanners, VHF ham radios, marine sets, or a software-defined receiver. What those do not do is wake you at 3 a.m. - for that you want a dedicated radio with SAME alerting, covered in the buyer's guide.
