Rating: - * High expectations ... We've had this radio for a couple of months. We bought it just to use as a radio for our bathroom and it works very well. Last week, however, six tornados touched down in one county over. Needless to say, we will be using the alarm portion of this radio next time we have severe storms. From what I hear, this is a great product to have for such times. We have high expections. Hopefully, it will meet them. If it doesn't, I will write another review. Rating: - * simple safety ... This radio has the easiest set up. There's is no reason to not have this life saving device. We have had it alert us during the night once already for a severe storm. There is no question it will work when there is more danger on the way. Worth every penny. Rating: - * Verry nice warning system ... I used to live in the plains, and a weather radio is a must. Once you figure out how to filter the warnings it won't' wake you up for warnings that aren't for your area. Rating: - * Defective Radio, Bad Service ... 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. Rating: - * A great radio! ... This is a great portable weather radio. Small enough to carry in your purse or pants pocket, your choice of using 4 AA batteries or the electrical cord that comes with it, a loud tone alert to warn you when threatning weather approaches, a nice handle for carrying, and it also makes for a great little AM/FM radio for when the weather is not threatning. The speaker is very good and better than most portable radio speakers. I read the comments up above about a little radio interfearance but you are going to experience that with all portable radios or scanners. This weather radio has an awesome telescopic antenna which you can aim for best reception. This weather radio was a great investment!
