If you are living in an area that is likely to be hit by storms or tornadoes, then a weather radio is a must-have. Because safety is more important than anything, I use the Midland WR-300 Weather Radio and I can assure you that it is indeed a life saver. Trust me, if it had not been the timely warning alert from the Midland WR 300 Weather Alert Radio last year, I wouldn't be talking to you now.
These Midland WR 300 Clock Radios come with S.A.M.E. technology (Specific Area Message Encoding) to help you pre-program the weather radio to get alerts that are specific, or exclusive to your local area. You have the option of choosing from 23 programmable county codes so that you can receive alerts not just about one county but several. The Midland WR 300 AM/FM Weather Alert Radio has a single speaker that sounds a clear, loud 90 dB siren. Details about the alert are clearly displayed on the blue, backlit LCD screen.
The PLL (Phase-Lock Loop) technology in these weather radios helps you to tune correctly and with the 10-alert memory, you can easily add, edit, or delete unwanted alerts. One of the best things about Midland WR 300 Weather Alert Radio is that it allows you to disable the audible alerts for watch/warning except those like tornado warning, biological hazard warning, etc. that are life threatening.
Other interesting features in the Midland WR-300 Weather Radio are AM/FM tuning options, alarm facility, and full calendar display. This radio runs on four AA batteries or AC power adapter.
You don't have to stay awake at nights monitoring NOAA weather stations when bad weather is anticipated. You can safely rely on the Midland WR 300 Weather Alert Radio and sleep peacefully!
