Economical and Practical June 27, 2008

We moved to a country community last fall; there is no public alert siren for threatening weather. We are at least 45 miles from the nearest major (network TV) city. Our weather can change before anything appears on TV. This radio has been wonderful. It is easy to program, easy instructions, you can hear the alarm from any location in the house, and very capable of waking you from a dead sleep. We have been very happy with this purchase. It has activated for us several times in the last 6 months, each time with pertinent weather info. We've recommended it to neighbors, family and friends.

This weather radio is fairly easy to program. I have used it for approximately one month now and I am pleased with the product. Everyone should have a weather alert radio and take the time to program the SAME codes.

As I live in a medium risk area for tornados, I wanted to make sure I had sufficient warning. Easy to follow directions to set up.
FANTASTIC !!! June 4, 2008

I received this unit today and took the time to program it (which is very easy to do). I then wondered how long it would be before I would know how well it worked.
About two hours later the unit activated. I first thought it was a fluke as no warnings were on local TV. Then the local channels reported the tornado warning.
This device is GREAT!!!

I received this public alert radio as a gift. At first, I was skeptical. I had wanted an alert radio, but was unsure if this one would have the features that I wanted--specifically, the ability to silence alarms that I don't want to hear (e.g. thunderstorm watch, etc.). Although some alerts are unblockable, they are the type of alerts that I wouldn't want to block anyways (e.g. tornado warning, hurricane/evacuation warning, etc.). Thus far, the reception has been great. I do not use the alarm clock features because, even with the backlight, the clock would be very hard for me to read during the night. I really appreciate the "peace of mind" that this product provides for me. I'm impressed. It was very easy to program, too.
