Stay alert to conditions that affect you with Midland's WR-300 weather/all-hazard radio. The unit offers S.A.M.E. technology (Specific Area Message Encoding), which preprograms the device to receive only those warnings that apply to your local area--you can choose state, county, and/or nearby counties. The single-speaker radio offers 30 programmable county codes, AM/FM tuning, date, time, alarm functions, and even auto switch from AM/FM to pertinent all-hazard alerts.

For tuning, the radio employs drift-free PLL (phase-lock loop) technology and an easy-to-read blue, backlit LCD. You get a convenient, 10-alert memory, and you can add, edit, and remove unwanted alerts at any time. The radio uses the supplied AC power adapter or four AA Batteries (not included).

Radio, AC power adapter, and a user's manual.

The best purchase I made this year. Combo clock radio/weather on demand is perfect for my lifestyle. I barely have a chance to listen to the news throughout the day. With a touch of the button, I can know what to expect in the next 24 hours. I'm looking forward to winter this year for the fact that I can get the weather any time at any moment and with the large amounts of snow that we get, can determine if I should snow blow in the morning or wait till later on.
It has three memory settings for different radio stations which is adequate. I love the bluelight backlight on the display and the beeps that some people say are annoying can be, but for the most part you get used to it and it's not that big a deal. I would highly recommend the product.

We have had NO PROBLEMS with this handy radio. We use ours in our pop-up camper. We don't setup up the alert on the radio unless we were to suspect that the weather is going to take a turn for the worse. It works great to turn music on softly at night to help the kids go to sleep. Granted the beep everytime you push a button is annoying and pointless; but I guess you get used to it. We love our radio so far!

I have only had the WR300 for a couple of months and really have not had but 2 or 3 alerts come along. The alerts were definitely for one of the dozen or so specific areas that I had programmed into the radio and that was nice. The setup was quite user friendly -though a bit long and tedious- with the instructions. I definitely agree with any and all negative reviews concerning the FM radio, the reception is horrible. I would overlook this a little if I could at least program no less than ten radio frequencies, but that is not the case. The low rating is, at this time, soley based on this one aspect. If possile then I will update this at a future time with more about what the radio is really designed and meant to be used for.
