 Not reccommeded December 16, 2008
I bought this about a year ago, thinking it did exactly what i wanted, what a disappointment. First there is no way to turn the "weather" side of the radio down to normal sound levels. About a 2 months ago, it starting saying check operation, i followed the instruction from there website ,and it still doesnt work properly.
Best I could find but not the best possible July 25, 2008
My wife and I like the projection feature - (it didn't work when the radio was running on the AC adapter without batteries installed).
I like the detailed enable/disable by message type and county feature.
The weather radio and alerts are so loud they make you want to smash the radio to get it to stop immediately. All you can think about is how do I turn it off NOW! It will not be comfortable to listen to the details of the alert.
It lacks an "alarm off" push button. The alarm must be turned off totally by sliding a switch hidden on the back. This is do-able, but I really wanted a clock radio with S.A.M.E., not a weather alert radio with a poorly designed alarm clock function.
The time is not very readable during the day.
I don't like the fact that I have to have a whip antenna extended in my bedroom.
It seems to be the best radio for the price I paid (half the MSRP) but I am guessing I will still buy a clock radio to put next to it.
ps. Don't forget to disable the test alert unless you need a weekly heart attack between 10 and noon on Wednesdays.
 Double the price it needs to be, poor user interface July 21, 2008

I bought this as a present for my wife in early April to replace an old clock radio in our bedroom and add the weather feature.
What is good:
* the county limiting feature does screen out unnecessary alerts in a satisfactory fashion.
* weather radio reception is fairly good.
What is bad:
* Configuring/changing anything at all requires pushing a button of course, and each button push causes a VERY LOUD beep, you DO NOT want this if you ever plan to push a button while your kids are asleep. This is awful if you happen to forget to change the alarm until after the kids are in bed.
* The projector is a waste of money, it makes a dull red glow on the ceiling and turning either configuration know for the projector will not produce readable anything.
* Regular radio reception is not great.
* The backlight for the main LCD will not stay on, so if your projector is busted when you open the box (as ours was) you can't tell the time in the dark.
My son busted off the antenna shortly before we got disgusted enough to want to return this product, so we're stuck with it. We bought our inlaws a $30 Midland weather radio from Walmart, it does everything equally as well without the annoying features or the broken projector.

Honeywell RN507W NOAA Weather Alert/All Hazard FM Radio with S.A.M.EAmazing product, but not for the electronically challenged user. You must follow the instructions EXACTLY and then go over them several times to make sure you haven't missed anything. Living in the tornado zone of Florida this radio will be of vital use. It is nice not to have to listen to unwanted weather broadcasts not pertinent to our area. Other radios sound the alarm for rainstorms etc. in several counties we are not interested in. Good product!
