Reviews MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio

Wouldn't change anything about it. It is small enough to be used almost anywhere and gives us increased peace during hurricane season. While the MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio initial set up does take some work and many button pushes, it works as advertised. I like that the setup allows you to set up which alerts you want to be notified of and can disable the ones that you don't want.

Living in the midwest where sever weather is very common in the summer, I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night for a sever thunderstorm watch necessarily, but do want an alert for a tornado warning/watch. This MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio allows you to set it up just that way.

This MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio is a great item and wonderful purchase to make for yourself or a loved one. You really can not put a price on safety. Stay alert to conditions that affect you with Midland's WR-300 all-hazard/weather alert radio. The single-speaker radio offers 23 programmable county codes, AM/FM tuning, date, time, alarm functions, and automatically switches 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).

You can hear the local weather service with the touch of a button or press the AM/FM button and listen to local radio stations of your choice. My kids know how to turn off the siren and how to press the weather radio button to listen to the verbal warning from the National Weather Service. The alarm is a great asset to have during night time hours.
