Tornados, hurricanes, blizzards! Our alarm clock radio delivers weather and emergency information from NOAA to your bedside—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Get the information that matters most, when you need it. Different alarm tones and visual messages alert you instantly to hurricanes, tornados, blizzards, AMBER alerts and more. Specific Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E.) ensures you only get info specifically targeted for your local area. The alarm clock features dual alarms with snooze and battery back-up for extra reliability. Digital tuning AM/FM radio has a 20-station preset memory so you can access your favorite stations with a touch. Wake to the radio or a buzzer—you can even fall asleep listening to 15, 30, even 90 minutes of music with the “sleep to music” auto shut-off timer. Large, back-lit LCD display makes it easy to spot the time, date and local information at a glance. Uses AC adapter (included) or 4 AA batteries (not included).

"I thought I would take a chance on this radio as an all-in-one solution to my need for an alarm clock radio and a weather radio with S.A.M.E. due to the recent spate of tornados and severe storms we've been though. My gamble almost paid off. The sound on FM was great and it picked up all the local stations I care to listen to in the Washington D.C. area.
