Overall, this radio works as advertised. It's solidly built. Comes with a very nice cradle and AC adapter. The radio COULD be difficult for some people to set up if they are not comfortable with electronics (or reading directions). Reception is clear in our house and the weather alerts certainly can roll you out of bed when they go off in the middle of the night. I was looking for a weather radio with SAME technology that could also sit on my dresser. This fit the bill perfectly. The backlight is also bright and the display is clear. The red alert light (it's normally green) is not as bright as it should be and should be more prominent. However, only a minor complaint and it's worth the price.

When I first got this radio, it worked great -- it was easy to set up and I never had a problem.
Then I moved to another area in the state. I never could get the radio to react to the warnings issued for our new county. It was able to pick up the weather station fine but no matter how many times I entered and re-entered the S.A.M.E. codes I wanted, it would not budge.
I have given up and ordered a different radio.

Impulse purchase that I'm glad I made...
I'll plead guilty to being a bit of a gadget-a-holic. Throw a digital readout screen on something and tell me it does something useful and chances are, I'll buy it. Read more
