This is a perfect weather radio!!!

This is a superb weather radio. I have been searching and tried a number of consumer retail weather radios over the years in the moderately expensive price range. None have performed, as well as, the Midland WR-300. It works absolutely flawlessly as a weather radio. If one follows the directions it is extremely easy to setup and use. Also, the alert alarm is loud and clear. I have been using the one I have for a number of months.

I have never missed an alert with the WR-300. It responds to all of the NOAA test signals perfectly. It also responds to all of the tornado alerts, floods, amber alerts, just everything perfectly where I live. And the reception is very stable and clear. Never, have I seen a consumer retail weather radio perform like the WR-300. Just as a note, I am also an electronics professional and have a very clear understanding of electronic equipment.

This radio is perfect as a weather radio. If you are looking for an alarm clock, an AM/FM radio, etc. then this is not the radio for you. It is, however, a superb weather radio. The clock is difficult to see and use as an alarm clock and the AM/FM reception leaves a lot to be desired in selectivity, reception and tonal quality. I think the goal of the designers was to deliver a wonderful weather radio and the AM/FM broadcast bands and alarm clock functions were secondary.

With this said, I do need to add that the tonal quality of the weather information is superb and exceptionally clear, as well, as the stability of the receptivity NOAA signal. Just FYI, what I do is use the WR-300 as a high quality weather radio, but I have a separate clock radio with AM/FM, alarm clock, etc.

I give the WR-300 my highest rating possible as a fine consumer retail weather radio for every day use.
