 Midland NOAA Weather Radio July 13, 2008
I live in the midwest and we are hiy with severe storms on a regular absis, this radio allows me to keep abreast of weather developments before they arrive at my location so that I can prepare for whatever weather is coming my way. It's ease of setup and excelent features make it my selection for use in my home, it is so easy to use that my 10 and 7 year old kids can operate it with ease. I would highly recomend this unit to anyone looking to purchase a weather radio which in th emidwest I believe is a must for every home.
Great little radio July 12, 2008
I'm very happy with this purchase. It works like advertised. Its very simple (which is what I wanted). Its a little cumbersome to get the county codes from NOAA to set up the correct broadcast but once thats done its easy to operate...in fact it alarms for each severe weather broadcast for our area. I am very rural and cannot get local TV stations (satelite only) so this is great to have in the event of severe thunderstorms, tornados etc. It also has a battery operated alarm clock so that I can get to work in case of power failure- very important since I work in heathcare and HAVE to be to work. Also gives NOAA weather reports continuously so that we can check the weather at any time. Very happy with this radio.
Midland WR-100B Weather Alert Radio July 10, 2008
Once you have setup and programmed for your location, which is easy, I highly recommend this radio and model. The most important aspect it that this radio does give you correct notiification of upcoming weather warnings or a watch 24/7 365 days. The alert monitoring technology is very much an asset. I programmed for voice notification which will give you an alert signal and then the NOAA Report follows. It will turn off automatically, which is a good feature. Another plus it operates by DC Jack or batteries, has a low battery indicator, clock, volume level and sleep alarm.
VERY SATISFIED July 10, 2008
Purchased this weather radio due to all the odd weather we've been having here in central New York. It has worked properly and was easy to set up. I feel very secure in the fact that it'll warn me, day or night, in the event of bad weather. To be sure I had some lead time, I set up two counties that normally get the bad weather before my county. (hope that makes sense)
Amazon has always been prompt in sending out my purchases and have some of the best prices in town!! Purchased a Flip Video which I also love! But that's another review!!!!
 Perfect if only... July 7, 2008
The radio works great. Will certainly wake you up quickly with the audible alert. Getting the current weather by hitting the snooze/weather bar is handy, and used every morning as we get ready for work.
However, we currently don't have the audible alterts on, because we got woken up quite well in the middle of the night...by an Amber alert. I certainly feel it important to get the word out for missing children, but it ought not trigger an audible alert. There is no action we can take at 2:00 in the morning. So in regards to that, I wish that I could configure the unit to only audible alert on certain events. It can differentiate between the alerts on the display screen, so the categorization is there.
Overall though, this works as advertised and I really appreciate the ability to filter the "reported on" area to my local zone.
