Very Good Weather Alert Radio
The Midland is easy to program with a large selection of weather alerts that can be customized. I could easily find a frequency with a NOAA broadcast that came in clearly. It was easy to set up. The FM radio reception is fine and it has dual alarm wake up. It also has a battery back up (requiring 4 AA batteries, not included). It has worked well, sending out alerts during some bad storms this summer. Definitely worth the investment especially with the tornadoes we've had this year.

Good emergency weather info
With battery backup this will keep you aware of severe weather in your area at all times. It was easy to set up and works well. It has sounded off a couple of times while I was asleep and it will wake you up to alert you even if you are asleep.

worthwhile purchase
I had the simpler Midland alert unit for about 11 years. This one has potential for 2 alarms as well as fm and am radio station reception. I now awaken to classical music instead of a squaking beeper. Setting for two relevant county alerts seemed more straightforward. Costs more but worth it for me.

Excellent Midland Weather Station
Midland has manufactured a great weather station that gives warnings of weather disturbances. It is difficult to set up the county, state, etc. to get relevant information for your area, but once connected, the reports are timely, and very accurate. I highly recommend
