The latest in weather and hazard alert monitoring technology, providing you with the information needed to keep you safe. Public Alert Certified. Unit has a special receiver that tunes to the 24/7 broadcast issued by the National Weather Service. The combined All Hazards/Weather Alert broadcast network is the single most immediate source for comprehensive weather and emergency information available to the public. Innovative automatic alert system.
In the event of a special warning broadcast, the radio is automatically activated along with a loud tone, a flashing LED indicator and an "alert" message on the LCD. Emergency weather bulletins include alerts about: tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, ice/snow storms and other severe weather. Other emergencies might include: Amber alert, hazardous explosions, fires, chemical spills and other civil emergencies.
In addition, this weather radio has the "S.A.M.E. Digital Weather/Hazard Alert" feature, providing you with constant monitoring of your localized NWS broadcast. The S.A.M.E. decoding receiver allows you to hear only messages for the area(s) concerning you. Choose which information will be brought to you by adding, editing, and removing alerts. Built-in AM/FM digital radio, date & time display, and alarm clock function. Runs on AC power (adapter included), or 4 AA batteries.
Pros: Easy to program for county--allows multiple counties. Display is bright and easy to read. Battery backup is essential and has low-battery indicator.
Cons: None really. It does what its supposed to and is appealing to the eye.
Other Thoughts: I live in the geographic center of "Tornado Alley"--central Oklahoma. It's essential to be warned for storms and tornadoes. NOAA does a good job of warning and informing about dangerous weather. I have a WR-100 by my bed, and the WR-300 at my desk. In this part of the world--going into a bathroom or closet during tornadoes is not an option.

Did you?
Pros: full featured, nice design. Newegg upstanding as always delivering promptly.
Cons: Bad reception inside, may not be fault of radio. Main problem is short life. Last week of June decide to change room around and unplugged wall outlet to move, letting it run on batteries(recently replaced) for a few minutes and noticed a little later all it had on the screen was the backlight. No print or letters whatsoever. Completely fubared. Had been working fine for all other power outages that happen here every now and then. Not worth the $50 cost. It is out of warranty and they want $45 plus shipping to repair. So as far as the WR-300, not going to waste another $50 on an item that won't last. This is Midlands fault and not a bad mark against Newegg.
Other Thoughts: Going to try the WR-100 to see if any better. If I have the same luck, I won't buy midland products again.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is an awesome weather radio. It gives us peace of mind when we sleep because we cannot hear the sirens at night. Just be sure to change it so that the alarm does not go off for thunder storms. Otherwise, you will be woken up repeatedly at night.
Cons: Not easy to find the menu to change the alert type.
