4.0 out of 5 stars Alert Radio is great, but skip the weather station, July 17, 2008

The hand-held Alert Radio works great. I'm glad I got it. It does everything it is supposed to do, minus the automatic atomic clock setting. (I must be too remote). But the alarm is wonderful, reliable, and setting it to just your own counties is easy to do. The weather station is alright, but it is just a fancy BIG screen showing the temp and humidity for indoors and out. So save your money and just get the Alert Radio with just the plain base. It uses less space and will work just as well without all the fluff.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, August 31, 2009

We got this unit to keep in our camper. We are always worried about storms creeping up on us when we are in the middle of nowhere. The remote temperature/humidity sensor works great. The weather radio works great. The base unit is a bit disappointing. The weather forecastrer is wrong about 90% of the time. We would be just as well off without the forcaster. The only real benefit is that it will let us know the temperature/humidity inside the camper, and charge the weather radio. If we really want to know what weather is coming, we just have to listen to the local forecast on the weather radio.

2.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to use with confused unfriendly manual, May 6, 2010

First... this unit is discontinued. Second, it is really unpleasant to use with controls that are very obscure and embedded in sub menus. Third, the screen is almost impossible to read. Fourth, unless you don't mind everything stated, buy it at severe discount. Otherwise.... steer clear.
