Is it possible to turn off the NOAA alerts?

NOAA alerts are not on till you activate them as described in item #10 of the "radio operation"; If you still have the instruction booklet. But if you have already activated it,and want to turn that feature off, go to the weather band and tune to a station that does not broadcast in your area (you will not hear any weather report), then press the band/alert button turn the radio off. When you turn the radio back on again, the alert system will be deactivated, but you can still go to the NOAA weather band and hear NOAA weather broadcasts. Jim W.

The NOAA alerts are not on automatically. You must activate them before they alert you.

it's been awhile, but i believe several owners reported it having an auto alert preset that would drain the battery. i could be mistaken. i was researching this and the NOAA radio, at the time.

Yes, and it gets better than that. For rainy days, you can either add a rain sensor or manually set a rain delay. Unlike simply turning off the system, it will resume program after the prescribed rain delay (in 6 hour increments, IIRC). And yes, manual control on this system cannot be any simpler. Switch to manual and turn on the zone. One of the best upgrades to the house I've made, and for an excellent price I was able to combine two separate systems (front and back yards were done at different times with two different units, pain, this solved that problem as well).

You can turn off the alert weather band but not eliminate the weather band other thing the weather band is independent of the am band and the fm band.

No, weather adjustments are optional. They can be disabled system wide or for individual zones.

Yes. On the left side there is a slider 3way switch: OFF, LOW and HI (sensitivity). When the unit alarms, it shuts itself off in about a minute however. I always set mine on HI sensitivity and it works just fine.

Yes it does.You can leave it on constantly which could be annoying since it is a repeated broadcast ny NOAA. Or leave it in alert mode in the event of a storm, disaster, etc...

You can turn it off however it is really a piece of junk and don't recommend you to buy it. It is made in China if that tells you anything.

There doesn't seem to be a way to turn this off and IMP it's a huge flaw. We live in a loft so there's no wall between kitchen and bedroom, and the beep is so loud it wakes us up at night. This is obviously a big problem that deters me from making bread.

Unfortunately no - the only suggestion I can make is: set the radio so that a loud static or hiss noise is produced and then hope you wake to that noise when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Read the manual for the WR120: it allows you to delete alerts you do not want. I've set up mine so that it alerts only for thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes and national emergencies.

It does have a built in FM receiver and will receive NOAA weather info of you program the frequencies. It does not have a weather alert feature.

For me, the alerts in my area are important so,I wouldn't want to turn them,off, and I don't believe I can.

Short answer is yes. But you must set up the radio to first the frequency of a weather radio signal in your area and turn on the alert feature. Note that you will receive only official alerts from the weather service, and they are normally in advance of any TV or commercial radio alerts.

Yes you can turn off the GPS. In fact, I believe that is the default setting.

Yes! You can put on alarm or chime and shut either one off when you want to.
