Right Product ... Easy Price July 9, 2008
I've only had this little weather radio for a few days but, so far, it works well. Nice to get a product that is what you need without unnecessary extras and find it at a very affordable price.
This little (think 'palm sized') weather radio pulls in your local NOA weather recording. You can set the alert button and adjust the volume and that's about it. It has a decent antenna (the nature of weather channels is to have some static).
The instructions are microscopic but adequate. HINT: To insert the three AAA batteries, it is best to remove the belt clip (simply unscrew it). I discarded both the belt clip and the hand strap as they just get in the way.
This is a little plastic weather radio that probably won't last forever ... but, for the price and what it does, it is enough to tell me if a burricane is comin' and whether it is time to batten down the hatches (storm shutters). Good enough.
Does the Job July 7, 2008
I purchased this for use in the Minnesota Boundary Waters. Sound quality isn't "great", but reception was reliable and understandable, size is very small and packable and the radio just got the job done. I would buy it again.

While the size is nice, the durability is suspect. The back side
sliding battery door pin broke and now the panel won't stay on.
The reception is poor and very scratchy. I would suggest you forget
this model and buy a home unit with battery backup that allows it to
become portable.

It is lightweight, can be attached to belt or waist band. I prefer a stronger signal, with a louder warning alarm.
I had bought a pocket size weather alert radio from Radio Shack a fair number of yrs ago which shames this Midland hands down. With the current technology I don't know why Midland didn't make a better product.
My 2 cents; If you live in Tornado Alley, do not depend on this as your only weather alert radio, esp. for home. It's ok for the field -better than nothing (altho better to have something with lightning detection added if used for the field). In this case you get what you pay for. Just my opinion.
 midland weather NOAA radio HH50 June 19, 2008
Just received this radio this morning, inserted 3 AAA batteries, and bingo. Picked up all stations in this area. this little radio by Midland is just SUPER. It does it all, very simple, and works like a charm.
Recommend buy rechargeable batteries and charger for the long haul.
Buy this radio, sound is A1, nothing complicated at all....BUY-BUY----
