It has done everything I expected it to do. Easy setup. Volume control with a clear voice during alarms.

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.

Easy to operate and definitely a needed item as part of an emergency kit.

was able to set unit up in less than 10 minutes. Price was very competative. basically set it self to correct channels for the area

I live in the country and no weather sirens are heard from in town. This weather radio is great. It lets me know if bad weather is heading this way, and to take cover if needed.

It is easy to use. You can set it for your area and it will keep you alerted of any hazardous weather conditions. It is battery backup so it will be a great asset in case of power outage. A good addition to add for your hurricane preparedness.

Very nice weather radio, easy to setup and use. Alway accurate.

Once I took the time to read the instructions and set this up it was pretty easy. Haven't had any alerts yet so will see how it works when we do have bad weather.

Small footprint ... Direction very forward and easy to follow and understand... Reception in my area quite good...no cons at all... Recommend everyone should have one , and this one is pretty good..

Easy to set up for local weather and alerts, Attractive in appearance and with battery back up can be taken with you and used during power outages,

I hate these loud annoying things but when you live in an area with no cell phone signal and prone to tornados you have to get one. Wi-Fi isn't always reliable.

Easy to program. More effort needed if you want to receive from multiple transmitters or a different transmitter than your present county.

Easy to program for your specific area. Alarm is loud enough to get your attention but won't give you a heart attack when it goes off. A good bargain for the money.

This radio is exactly what we wanted. We can program the counties we want alert for so we are no alerted in the middle of the night unless it is the counties we requested. We feel safer with the system!

The wife wanted one of these for safety. The reception on this thing is terrible! It's supposed to go 40 miles but struggles at less than 30. It does work if it's not beeping ( like a dead smoke detector battery) for loss of signal.

While I have only had this unit for a short time, it appears to be easy to setup and seems to function properly. Time will tell how reliable it will be.

Easy to setup. Now we are ready if bad storms come our way.

So far so good with the few storm warnings that have been released. But we're headed for hurricane season so we'll see how good it works.

I have gotten use of this weather band radio during bad weather a few weeks ago. The alert siren was clear and the voice indicator was aligned with the TV weather man during the severe thunderstorm warnings in our area. Feel much better with this alert system in our home. Thanks to the Best Buy Geek squad for helping to program the system. Will recommend this radio to others.

The display looks like something from the 80’s but it works great once you get it programmed.
