Great WeatherRadio and cheap

"I don't know why all the complaints - this product is great. If all those complainers, including the "so-called" meteorologist, would just read the manual, they would see that it picks-up the local counties, is as clear as the National Weather Service computer voice can be, and the alerts come on as needed, if set properly. If they would have read further, they would see that this device is an A/C device with D/..." Read Full Review »

Overall Good, But Not Good Enough

"While it makes a good choice as a weather radio, it lacks SAME Coding. The status light is always on when plugged in, and the radio sounds an alarm, but that is it. It will not automatically turn on the radio when an alert, some 60 miles away from you, is issued. But if you're looking for "just" a weather radio, this one will do just fine, and it functions with an alarm clock. At least you can get all 7 channels..." Read Full Review »

"I've been reading reviews of the radios and some people are saying they can't change the volume...well, after I had my first alert I decided the alert was to loud b/c it was daytime & I knew if there was another any time soon I'd hear it...SO I TURNED THE VOLUME DOWN. Yes, the volume DOES turn down! …" Read Full Review »

"This item is perfect for your garage, workshop, etc, because the alert is loud, and the alert is dependable. However, because it lacks SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) technology, you cannot program it to receive alerts for your specific location. Instead, you will receive all alerts within a …" Read Full Review »

"This is a good little radio, my only problem is it broadcasts information that's non applicable to your location, example a flash flood warning for an area 300 miles from your location in boarding state at 3:00 am is not an immediate emergency.
