Amazon.com Product Description
The First Alert WX-17 Portable NOAA Emergency Alert Radio is a portable NOAA weather radio that receives emergency alert warnings from the National Weather Service 24 hours a day. The WX-17 automatically sounds a warning siren when alerts are broadcast, providing you with the early warning you need to deal with emergencies and hazardous situations. Day or night, regardless of what you are doing, you will get instant notification of local and national emergencies, and any weather conditions that require your attention.
The First Alert WX-17 doesn't just keep you informed of vital situations via all seven NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) weather and hazard channels, but includes an AM/FM band for casual, daily radio use. Completely portable and easy to use, this unit includes a telescoping antenna, and a four AA-battery back-up for use during power outages. The WX-17 features an emergency alert siren that is sure to gain your attention, a handle for easy transport, and an earphone jack for both extremely noisy and necessarily quiet environments. The First Alert WX-17 Portable NOAA emergency alert radio is powered by the included 120-volt AC power adapter for desktop operation, and is backed by a manufacturer's 90-day warranty.

This review is from: Sima First Alert NOAA WX-17 Portable Emergency AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
I bought this radio because I wanted an emergency weatherband backup radio and chose it primarily by price and the First Alert brand. You get what you pay for. The AM/FM part of the radio is fine. The local weatherband is hard to catch, there's lots of interference unless you hold the radio, antenna extended, in a certain way. (Even then the reception is not very clear.) However, one of the best features is it comes with an A/C adapter.

Defective Radio, Bad Service,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sima First Alert NOAA WX-17 Portable Emergency AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
The radio arrived with a crooked display and hard to use tuning knob. The package had obviously been opened before, so I got someone else's reject. Beach Audio will not pay return shipping under any circumstances, not even for sending me a defective product!!! So I am out $12 in shipping and have no radio.

Junk,

This review is from: Sima First Alert NOAA WX-17 Portable Emergency AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
I purchased one of these radios before Christmas and it works great. I decided I wanted another for work, so I ordered another one.
I recived my radio a couple of days ago and had to send it back because the "preset" weather stations are off the mark and the only thing I can pick up is distorted and garbled. They sent me a replacement and it too is off station. At this point, I'm wondering if the first one I got was the exception. I do NOT reccomend this product unless you just want an am/fm radio, that part works great. This will be my last First Alert purchase unless I can try it out first!
