But my favorite feature is the ability to customize the alerts you receive (minus the few extreme ones like tornado warnings). if you don't want a certain alert to sound the alarm (which is VERY loud), just turn it off

We wanted a system that would alert us in the event of Tornado warnings in our area

The radio will receive audible alerts for the tornado warnings."

Discovered that the internal speaker was not working on the same day we had a TORNADO WARNING

All I really wanted was a way to set a Tornado WARNING; not WATCH

Tornado Warning is not in the alert list

Seems to be missing Tornado Warning or Tornado Watch setting in the menu where you go to set what alerts you want

(The only warnings that are "mandatory" are the tornado warnings which is how I have mine set up.)

As a weather conscious, public safety conscious individual, I depend on a number of sources for information in severe weather events - and, this one, has proven its worth alerting me to flash flood watches/warnings and tornado warnings in the middle of the night when I would not have otherwise known there was a need for concern.

Some such as a Tornado Warning cannot be disabled on this radio, but this is the same for any weather radio

It seems like the only settings are "Super obnoxious and annoying over a 20% chance of rain", and "no warning until two days after a tornado has completely obliterated your home."While setting the unit up, it was right in the middle of a storm system that was generating a lot of tornado warnings.

The audible alarm that goes off for a Tornado Warning is over 100 decibels which easily wakes up everyone in my house.

On that model you can adjust the loudness of the alarm and you can minimize which alarms will wake you, but last hurricane, the alerts were not coming through - including tornado warnings.

I wanted it for tornado warnings

We have it set just to alert for tornado warnings.

The Tornado Warning was the primary reason I bought the radio

I am sleeping much better knowing that I'll be alerted to tornado warnings

I mainly bought this for tornado warnings, but could not find that in the manual settings; maybe it's automatically on

Their previous one had died and we get frequent storm and tornado warnings

So if you're asleep and a Tornado Warning is issued, you would be jumping out of your skin

We assumed it was a safety feature to not be able to turn off tornado warnings

so when El Niño decided to bless Florida with

I want it alert me to as well as

The radio didn't work at all as it is supposed to

Works as it should and alerted us to a weather advisory the other night.

That's where a weather radio comes in; you don't have to worry as actively about severe-looking weather because NOAA will sort it out for you

Works as,expected

This is where the weather radio shines and protects my family and I during dangerous times.
