I purchased the Midland emergency crack weather alert radio because this hurricane season started out crazy and I wanted to be prepared. Thank goodness I had this. We lost power and this came in handy.

Radio average and antennae does not really increase signal strength. Solar cell not big enough to provide adequate charge. Hand crank works but the charge diminishes really fast. Just using as a radio and charging with usb.

Either the antenna is weak or broke on my radio. It picks up, but very staticky. Have to adjust it to get a signal. Not really in a wooded or hilly area, mid-west. Maybe 35miles from a weather station/radio.

Without power, this is vital and important.
In fact I have already used it once in the tornado season that we are experiencing in 2024.
