4 out of 5 stars could save your life   May 13, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

the radio seems durable and fairly easy to program. It is great that it can be used as a fixed unit or as a portable one so you can take it with you if you need to take shelter. Last week I recieved Severe thunderstorm watches and warnings so it does work as advertised. My one complaint is that you cannot disable the siren for alerts that you are not interested in, being woken up at 3am for a dense fog advisory doesn't seem pleasant. Bottom line is that this radio does its job and I would encourage anyone to buy it as long as you don't mind get alerts for all watches, warnings and advisories.

Seems to work just fine. We wanted it for traveling where we don't have immediate access to weather information. It sure came in handy on our last camping trip.


3 out of 5 stars Cheap, Generic, but gets the job done   March 16, 2007

I bought this item after incessant nagging by the local fox affiliate. Recent tornadoes here in central Florida have demonstrated the need for a weather radio. The fact that they started just a few minutes drive north of my house helped seal the deal.

This particular radio works. I can receive the NOAA broadcasts and the regular Wednesday afternoon tests tend to annoy me yet prove to me that the stupid thing works. It lacks style and feels cheap, but I know it works and will be convenient to carry around. There are more expensive models..but why? We hid it near the bed and my wife put some decorative greenery around it to hide it. It's here, it's...what it is. I'll get used to it.

Good for the money, a little confusing on setting it, but once you figure it out, it is AOK.


5 out of 5 stars A Quality Product   February 26, 2007

I bought this about a week or so ago after researching several models of weather radio. Unlike complaints I've read about other brands, this radio was easy to set up, and there should be no problems concerning battery life due to a nice standby mode. I'd definitely recommend this radio to anyone looking for a quality, affordable weather radio.
