We have used 2 other radio alerts that were not as easy to use and had annoying problems with lost signal beeps. This radio has preformed beautifully. Every home needs to have smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and a weather alert radio!! Lives can be saved!
Great Item December 29, 2008
J. Keener (Southern Illinois)
I researched several weather radios and this is the one I decided on based on the SAME feature. I didn't want weather reports coming from all areas and this is a great feature for that. I bought two, one for myself and one for my college son. It was very easy to program. Based on another reviewers comments, I checked my batteries after three days while I had it plugged in and they still had full strength. A relatively inexpensive item for peace of mind!
Perfect NOAA Radio December 20, 2008
Sailor Man (Pamlico Beach in North Eastern North Carolina)
After checking out the many weather radios available this one was the best one and at a great price. Many NOAA radios do not allow you to control the type of warnings you do not want to hear. In Eastern North Carolina tornadoes, especially at night are our biggest and most dangerous threat. We have many severe thunderstorms but they are not life/property threatening. With this radio we have turned off the warning for severe storms and are only notified of the possibility of tornadoes. Most people who have radios who cannot control the type of warnings they want to listen to eventually just turn off the warning capability of the radio thus defeating the main purpose of the radio.

My law office is in downtown Louisville, Kentucky and we sometimes get tornados and severe storms in the area. I wanted a reliable weather alert radio that cost under $40 and bought this one. I am very pleased with it and especially like the fact it can run off batteries or AC power (with the AC adapter). The reception is crystal clear and of course it also keeps time etc. Very pleased with the purchase
