I am a weather worry wart and this has been the best piece of equipment I have bought. I sleep better at night know the battery back up is going to keep us safe.
 One small problem keeps it from being Great July 31, 2008

The radio works very well as an alarm clock and weather warning system. It is very convenient to push a button and get a local weather report any time you want it. The sound quality is about what you expect from a clock radio device. We have had several pretty good storms go through since I recived the WR-300 and it was nice to hear it sound the warning with a description of the warning. Almost love it!
The problem: I would like to use it as a alarm clock next to the bed, but the backlighting is so bright that you can't leave it on at night and sleep. You can turn it off, but then you can't read the time. There needs to be a switch or sensor that will dim the backlight when it is dark. I intend to notify Midland of this problem with an otherwise great product. I will then have an opinion of the company based on their response to my only complaint.
Better than my old one July 29, 2008

Picked this up about a month ago. Had one of the old non-selective monitors that was driving us crazy. With all the storms hitting SW Missouri this year, we were getting alerts from several counties away. Plugged this baby in, programmed it for our county and it works great. Only get alerts for us. Like the lights indicating watch or warning.

This radio is clear and works fine. We don't use it as a am/fm just a weather alert. If you are looking for just an alert I'm sure you can find a less expensive one. We chose Midland b-cause of their reputation. Programing wasn't a problem. Really no complaints. Just hope we never have to hear it sound. It's kind of like insurance. You have it but hope you never have to use it.
A Good Value July 28, 2008

We have had the Midland WR-300 for just over a month and it has already proved useful. In Iowa we frequently have severe weather watches and warnings from the NWS and this radio has alerted us many times already. The radio is compact, easy to set up and does an excellent job. I highly recommend it.
