Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: 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). What's in the Box
Radio, AC power adapter, and a user's manual.

Great weather radio
This weather radio is great. The best part is that I can program the unit to only ALERT for my county. I live in Florida, and we have allot of weather alerts this time of year, and it's nice to ONLY hear the ones that are for my county. The unit is well made and easy to program. It is also a clock radio with AM/FM. I do wish that the back light would stay on all the time, but Oh-Well...

Great Safety Radio
We live in Tornado country so I disabled the audio alert for almost all alerts with the exception of Tornado Warnings. It does exactly what it is supposed to do by displaying a light for watches and other alerts and when your sleeping and a loud audio alarm for Tornado Warnings's. We live in a rural area where we can't hear the sirens in town so in my opinion this is a mandatory safety item for my family.

Midland WR-300
Hurricane Fay stuck around a long time in Volusia Couty, Florida. Glad I had the monitor. Not a piece of cake to set up, but not too difficult either. Got a few "flood" warnings at 2:00 a.m, (I am high and dry) but I took them out the next day and all is well. Live in Florida? Probably don't need snow storm warnings! Take the time to set up properly and it works wonderfully.

4-1/2 Stars
This is a great weather alert radio. I bought it this spring when we were having constant severe weather here in Nebraska and our old weather radio had seen better days. More than once it alerted me to severe weather when I had no idea anything was nearby. I particularly like the power/battery option. I leave it plugged in but know it'll still work if the power goes out (which it did a few times this spring.) It's also easy to program to your own county's alerts. And you can easily switch back and forth between the National Weather Service broadcast and your local AM or FM station broadcast.
I like this so well I'm buying 2 more to give for Christmas this year. The ONLY reason I'm deducting half a star is because of the beep every time you make a change (radio channels at every point: 95.1 95.2 95.3 etc.) But Amazon doesn't give a choice for half a star so overall I'd have to rate it at 5 stars. (Beep is only annoying when you change settings.)
