 Product Description: Emergency Public Alert Radio-- Stay safe. Stay informed. Stay prepared! Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-07-17 Weather Radio & Charge Cradle Nice product. Easy enough to program, etc. Charge does not seem to last as long as another reviewer indicates. I had it on stand-by and went on a four night trip to our local lake. It was run down to the point where I had to set-up the time, etc., again. At least it held onto the channel freq. I had set it to. Rating:  Date: 2008-07-06 Good Value This is a good radio. I like the portability and it gets very good reception, even in the back hills of SE Missouri. Programming is not that difficult and battery life is good. The display is hard to read at certain angles but that is not a major detractor from giving this radio a good review. Comes with a belt clip that is a little flimsy, but I dont really use it anyway. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-18 solid reliability Item arrived on time and in good condition. No complaints thus far. Easy to set up. I like the fact that you can minimize the counties to ward off unwanted alerts in the middle of the night. Kudos. Rating:  Date: 2007-12-29 Good basic weather radio This radio works fine for me. I seem to have a strong signal in my area. The radio indicates signal strength, but it doesn't seem to work well, it either shows full strength or zero, even though it's capable of displaying several intermediate levels. Regardless of the indicated signal strength I can hear the weather statements and receive alarms/alerts with no problem.
The LCD display has a pretty limited viewing angle, you have to hold it at just the right angle to view it well.
You can't turn off alerts, they time out on their own. I'm not sure how long it takes, but it's many hours. It gets a bit old seeing the Wednesday test scroll across the screen over and over.
The rechargeable batteries last 2 or 3 days, with the radio in standby most of the time, and a few minutes of listening to the radio each day. For a trip of any length you will need to bring the charger or switch to regular batteries.
These are minor issues, overall I'm happy with it. Rating:  Date: 2007-12-23 bought as a gift Bought this as a gift for a friend that lives in a very rural area. they were thrilled and said they were sure that when the weather is stormy they will have an ear to the radio to get up to date information about the storm. |
