Reviews around setup (5.00 of 5)

  • Setup was relatively easy although I couldn't tell if the s.a.m.e. technology did anything.
  • The unit came in new condition, and the setup was easy to complete in 10 minutes--from unpacking to programming to operating
  • Setup took me like what...a minute or two tops?Literally took me longer to find 3AA batteries for the back-up power than to set it up
  • Again, I fully accept the problem could be on my end, but I'm not a dumb person, and if it really is a setup problem, well, OK

Reviews around feature (4.19 of 5)

  • This is a great mid-level weather radio, with just enough features to make it ideal one for me
  • A good feature is the yellow light which comes on during the weekly NOAA
  • It has all the features you want, BUT it slowly loses its ability to pick up the local local NOAA stations
  • We really need a weather alert radio with a better feature set
  • The best feature of this radio is the option to mute certain alerts

Reviews around alert (1.97 of 5)

  • I'll try to find a weather alert radio that actually issues alerts.
  • The radio will receive audible alerts for the tornado warnings."
  • This means when a severe weather alert is issued, the radio will warn you of the event
  • But during severe weather alerts that flash across my TV.
  • Some alerts cannot be turned off, such as tornado warning (if you wanted to turn off tornado warning, why would you waste money on a weather radio?).

Reviews around siren (1.86 of 5)

  • This is where the weather radio shines and protects my family and I during dangerous times.
  • I found the siren settings easy enough to change without reading the instructions, and I was able to see my settings in action almost immediately since storms rolled though the area on the day I received this weather radio.
  • Tip: disable the weekly test siren alert if you keep it in your bedroom, because this thing is so loud it can wake the dead.
  • This has an obnoxious siren loudness you can't control.
  • Though, one thing I don't like about this model is that the siren is SO loud

  • Only drawback is the weekly test alarm that scares the heck out of you if you are not prepared.
  • The alarm is loud and will wake me up, I also like how I can disable weekly tests from waking me up, but allowing storms and floods to wake me up
  • Despite all troubleshooting and positive test results, it never issued an audible warning.

Reviews around power (1.49 of 5)

  • The only added feature that I miss is that the old radio I had could take rechargable batteries and charge them while you had power, jumping to them when you'd lose power – this unit doesn't charge a rechargable battery.
  • Around my area, we lose power a lot, so this was pretty nice
  • Stopped alerting, stopped doing anything but sucking power out of the wall
  • Battery back up is nice option so you don't lose your settings if you lose power
  • This has delivered peace of mind for me, and with the battery backup, I'm confident that even if we lose power we will be able to get important weather alerts.

Reviews around beep (1.00 of 5)

  • it gives a single loud beep every 10 minutes.
  • Everything is great except that no matter the alert type you set (voice, display, voice) it still blaring an loud obnoxious beeping.
  • The radio has a loud beeping alert followed by an announcement about any watches/warnings
  • and I would have nothing but positive comments (easy to set up, it's loud and clear, has a bright display, etc) but for one irritating feature; if the radio does not receive an alert signal at least every 10 days it will start this annoying beep every few minutes and THE ONLY
