5 Stars Great Product
Using instructions programming is easy. You can select not only counties to receive alerts for, but also select only the alerts you are concerned about.
5 Stars Really, really programmable
This thing is fantastic. Our old weather alarm only let you program in “SAME” designations (just warnings for your county would go off). That was fine and good, but the darn thing went off all the time (we live in the Midwest, with lots of thunderstorms and rain). We needed a weather alarm because the outdoor tornado sirens are so quiet, I don’t think they’d wake us up. On the other hand, I don’t need to be woken up all night long every time they issue a flash flood warning (I’m not in my car, and we live on a hill, flash floods don’t produce the kind of danger we need to be torn out of our beds at 3 am for).
Anyway, this one allows you to turn off EVERYTHING except tornado warning sirens. It is fantasic. We’ve been able to finally sleep all the way through the night, even if there are severe storms.
5 Stars Best Weather Radio
This is the best weather radio I’ve ever had. It has very good reception (which is important because some other radios I have had don’t pick up a signal since I’m on the edge of good signal strength). I like being able to set it for my preferences as far as what alarms I want to hear and which ones I don’t. It is also the easiest radio I’ve ever had to program and set up. Love this weather radio!
5 Stars Excellent product
This is an excellent alert radio. Easy to set up and program for alerts you desire.
4 Stars A good LOUD product
I am very pleased with this NOAA alert radio. It’s loud, consistantly reliable and most of all very usable.
The only reason I did not give it five stars, just four, was the ease of set up.
