Stay alert to conditions that affect you with Midland's WR-300 weather/all-hazard radio. The unit offers S.A.M.E. technology (Specific Area Message Encoding), which preprograms the device to receive only those warnings that apply to your local area--you can choose state, county, and/or nearby counties. The single-speaker radio offers 30 programmable county codes, AM/FM tuning, date, time, alarm functions, and even auto switch from AM/FM to pertinent all-hazard alerts. For tuning, the radio employs drift-free PLL (phase-lock loop) technology and an easy-to-read blue, backlit LCD. You get a convenient, 10-alert memory, and you can add, edit, and remove unwanted alerts at any time. The radio uses the supplied AC power adapter or four AA Batteries (not included). What's in the Box Radio, AC power adapter, and a user's manual.

Nothing is designed for ease of use, not even the instruction book. You write information you need for setting the clock on one page but the instructions for entering that information is half a book away. Back lighted screen can only be easily seen from one angle. Wake up alarm switch is not easily reachable. My 9 dollar radio alarm has better radio reception. I am still trying to figure out how to wake up to music and not beep beep beep. ANd I giess I have not got the weather alarm set correctly because I received no warning for the icy roads. Oh well gives me something to do this weekend.

This radio is MUCH more complicated to set up than all the reviews I read would have you believe. We still haven't managed to turn it into a clock radio despite trying for over a week to program it. It may alert you to weather conditions but it doesn't do what I wanted it to do.

Purchased as a Christmas present. Bought one last year for my self and really enjoy it.

These were gifts for my grown children. As far as I know, these radios are performing as advertised.

Great radio! Has all the "bells and whistles" I wanted. The ability to select what warnings I wanted in what regions was a real plus.
