 Great Safety Radio July 25, 2008
I purchased this weather radio for use at the store that I work in. We have lots of computers and wireless equipment to run the store, so finding a radio that had good reception was difficult. After reading reviews of the Midland radios, I bought this one and we haven't been disappointed.
The technology here allows us to filter the warnings so that we only hear announcements for our county and only the watches/warnings that we choose to hear about. Living on a lakeshore county, this is important because Special Marine Warnings are issued frequently.
My only desire for this radio is that when the alert is issued and the siren goes off on the radio, it should turn on the weather radio after the siren has gone off for 5 seconds or so. My radio at home (an older Radio Shack model) does this and it's nice because if we're in the other room, we can just mute the TV and hear what is going on, rather than having to walk back to the bedroom and look at the screen. That feature would make it perfect, but it's still a great radio without that.
 no problems what so ever July 24, 2008
Bought this due to wife is terrified of tornado warnings. We are not in a tornado prevelant area but we have had them touch down. Very easy to program and works great. Do follow the directions and it is a snap.
Only con is if off your AC power it goes through a set of AA batteries pretty quick.

This product is great for people who live in areas where alert sirens are not available, or easy to hear. Easy to program and use. Alerts can be specific to your needs so that you don't have to hear all alerts for all surrounding areas and conditions. We now know when a severe thunderstorm or tornado is approaching.
Midland NOAA radio July 21, 2008
Easy to program, compact size, allows you to listen to alerts in your area. We now have 2 radios in our family. This one was purchased for another family member.

We've had a lot of storms in the midwest this spring and summer (2008) some with tornados, others with tornado type winds.
We own other weather radios, but bought this unit specifically because you can eliminate the some of the alerts. When we used our old / other radios we were woke in the middle of the night only to hear of a thunderstorm watch maybe 3-4 times through the night. This radio prevents a sleepless night while letting you feel confident you will only be woken by an alert you programmed the radio to alert you to.
