Product Description
The Oregon Scientific WR103NX All-Hazards Emergency-Alert, Weather Radio is the perfect companion at home or on the road. It automatically activates when a weather alert is broadcast, and gives you time to take cover if you need to. Employing S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) technology, it screens out broadcasts originating in distant locations. That means you can monitor local counties only and receive just the info you really need to hear. This state-of-the-art weather radio from Oregon Scientific packs plenty of punch but weighs less than a pound and easily fits into a coat pocket. With easy-to-read, LCD display, backlighting for viewing at night or in low-light conditions and time-and-date display, it's adaptable for use around the house or office. It serves campers, hikers, travelers and boaters, too.

Worked great, then stopped receiving signal where other models can. March 31, 2008

This worked great. It was a bit of a pain to set up, but worked great once it was. Then... no more signal, no more alerts. Just suddenly and for no reason (not dropped or anything.)
I bought another brand of handheld NOAA alert radio and placed it in the same spot this has sat for 3 years. The new radio picked up two signals (3 and 7). The Oregon one could only barely pick up channel 7; the new one gets 3 and 7.
Worked for awhile, but no longer.
