This radio was very hard to learn to use. It does not warn of winter weather advisories. However it does do avalanche warnings (none of those in Ohio). I bought this radio to travel with, however it only holds 6 county codes. We had to print off all the county codes from the internet for the areas in which we will be traveling. When we leave each county we have to change the code the radio is set too. When we leave our 6 stored counties we have to reprogram the next 6 in it.

Takes too much preparation. Many times we do not know where we are going when we travel. Would be a little easier if it came with a book of county codes. However we did download and print off the codes for our state.

I guess you get what you pay for. We are currently under a level 1 winter weather advisory, with a hazardous outlook for the next 14 hours and the radio will not report this. Had we been traveling we would not have known.
