Amazon.com Product Description

Get round-the-clock, up-to-the-minute weather and hazardous conditions information with Midland's weather/hazard radio. With its seven channels, this radio will receive all warnings of severe weather or other hazardous conditions.

The Midland radio features an "alert" mode that monitors automatically NOAA signals for any alert and automatically sounds your choice of a 90 dB siren or a voice warning or flashes a red LED. Some other features include an external antenna jack for better reception, a test button that enables the user to test the alert monitoring system, and a foldaway telescopic antenna.

This durable radio's compact design will accommodate most spaces and can be plugged into any standard 120-volt AC outlet (power adapter included). Also, a built-in jack permits the unit to be powered from any 12-volt DC vehicle or boat (with an optional 12-volt cord). With its 9-volt battery backup system (battery not included), it will operate even during a power outage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Constant weather info for the weather junkie, September 22, 2001

This review is from: Midland 74109 All Hazard Radio with 7 NOAA Weather Channels (Electronics)

If you are worried about the weather, this is the perfect item for you! You can get up-to-date weather reports 24 hours a day after choosing which source you want. You enter the code for your area on the back, and you're all set! (The instructions are clear and easy.) Best of all, if you travel you can take it with you and reset it for the new place. You have a choice of being alerted in a weather emergency by a red flashing light or by a loud-enough siren. The announcer's voice is monotonic because of the recording, but if you just want the facts, you won't care. It also gives conditions of weather in the ocean for boaters and fishermen. It works even in a power failure because of its backup battery. You won't have to wait until after the daily news report to find out the weather at any time! This is great!

This review is from: Midland 74109 All Hazard Radio with 7 NOAA Weather Channels (Electronics)

I own this weather radio, and it has great features...if only it worked properly! Mine has a tendency to come on anytime it feels like it, not just when there's an alert, which can be quite shocking in the middle of the night. I suspect a problem in the electronics. I recenty purchased another model made by Midland, and the buttons on it don't work right, so I'm going to have to return it to the store. I won't be buying another piece of electronics from Midland. If you're looking for a trouble-free weather radio, steer clear!
