Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Good weather radio for a reasonable price
This radio is for one thing and one thing only....to alert you of emergencies...floods, storms, chemical spills, etc. It does this very well. The radio sets up quickly by hitting the menu key and then using the arrows to page thru the options...what kind of allerts do you want to be notified of (I picked all). When the national weather service sends out a warning you get a warning tone that could wake the dead and then the verbal warning....winter storm, tornadoe, etc. You can hit the paddle any time for weather forcasts also. The unit looks good, the sound is a bit like an old AM radio...you have six or seven channels to choose from and you pick the one that comes in the best...but if I had one improvement to suggest it would be a better speaker. For the price it is great.

A must for anyone to have. Very helpful
This weather radio replaced my other one that I had for many years. It is a must for when bad weather is approaching. Very easy to set up.

Inexpensive Weather Band Radio
After reviewing a number of WX band radios I purchased the Midland. The radio is easy to program for area and type of traffic. It is really loud but adjustable. I have not had any problems.

Keep your family safe
The weather alert radio was very easy to program; set up was very easy and straightforward. However, with the backup battery installed, I had to walk the radio around the house until it picked up my local NOAA weather station. It does have a connection for an external antenna, but to me it seems unlikely that most folks would use such an item. Three days after setting up the radio, it received an alert and provided much needed extra time to prepare for coming strong thunderstorms and tornados.

You can program this radio to your specific county so it's not going off non stop. We had originally purchased the solar, handcraft, rechargeable one with a flashlight, but you could not program it to just your county. This one is nice and loud!

Easy to use
This replaced my old radio from about ten years ago. I am very impressed with how easy is to use. I also like being able to customize which alerts I receive.
