Amazon.com Product Description
Stay up to date on all the latest weather, hazard, and civil emergency information with the Midland WR-100B monitor. Capable of receiving seven National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA) channels--each of which receives emergency advisories on tornadoes, floods, severe thunderstorms, civil danger warnings, and more--the WR-100B is a must for people who live in high-risk weather areas, such as the Southeast or Midwest. Plus, the seven NOAA channels offer coverage for roughly 93 percent of the U.S., so most people are well covered regardless of where they live. Another valuable function is the monitor's Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) reception. SAME allows users to program the radio to sound an alert only when weather and other emergencies threaten a selected county or counties. The technology eliminates all alerts from other areas, so users won't have to perk up their ears each time the alert sounds only to find the emergency is actually 100 miles up the highway. In addition, the WR-100B's memory system accepts up to 25 counties, so you can monitor a broad swatch of counties at once or restrict it to one. Should an alert occur, users have a choice of three warning systems: a 90 dB siren, a voice alert, or a flashing red LED light. The siren is the best option for people with larger homes or who aren't always near the monitor, while the latter two options work well for smaller homes. Additional features include a clock with an alarm and a snooze button, an emergency power backup that keeps your radio working during power outages or outdoor use, and external antenna and alert jacks. The WR-100B, which works with three AA batteries (not included), measures 5.12 by 2 by 6.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box
WR-100B monitor, power adapter, user's manual.

 Weather radio July 22, 2008
This item was recommended by a ham radio operator, who works with the hurricane center in Miami during storms. He bought one at Publix for $30. I found this one on Amazon for $30 and free shipping. What a bargain! It was easy to set up, and now we're waiting for a big storm to test it out. Wait, please, no big storms!
 Excellent weather radio July 20, 2008
I like the way it localizes warnings unlike earlier radios that would warn of bad weather several counties away.
Midland NOAA Weather Radio July 13, 2008
I live in the midwest and we are hiy with severe storms on a regular absis, this radio allows me to keep abreast of weather developments before they arrive at my location so that I can prepare for whatever weather is coming my way. It's ease of setup and excelent features make it my selection for use in my home, it is so easy to use that my 10 and 7 year old kids can operate it with ease. I would highly recomend this unit to anyone looking to purchase a weather radio which in th emidwest I believe is a must for every home.
Great little radio July 12, 2008
I'm very happy with this purchase. It works like advertised. Its very simple (which is what I wanted). Its a little cumbersome to get the county codes from NOAA to set up the correct broadcast but once thats done its easy to operate...in fact it alarms for each severe weather broadcast for our area. I am very rural and cannot get local TV stations (satelite only) so this is great to have in the event of severe thunderstorms, tornados etc. It also has a battery operated alarm clock so that I can get to work in case of power failure- very important since I work in heathcare and HAVE to be to work. Also gives NOAA weather reports continuously so that we can check the weather at any time. Very happy with this radio.
Midland WR-100B Weather Alert Radio July 10, 2008
Once you have setup and programmed for your location, which is easy, I highly recommend this radio and model. The most important aspect it that this radio does give you correct notiification of upcoming weather warnings or a watch 24/7 365 days. The alert monitoring technology is very much an asset. I programmed for voice notification which will give you an alert signal and then the NOAA Report follows. It will turn off automatically, which is a good feature. Another plus it operates by DC Jack or batteries, has a low battery indicator, clock, volume level and sleep alarm.
