I don't know. Frankly, the interface for this product is one of the worst I have ever seen. And the instructionbooklet is equally bad. Eton ought to treat this product like the automobile industryh treats failures -- recall.

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.

I am not sure if it has a control for it. My problem is poor eye site. So far it has worked very well it providing the sever weather 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.

As far as I know it does not give automatic alerts. It has a weather radio, AM and FM.

We are extremely please with our radio. Give warnings to take shelter when tornado is in the surrounding area. Much better than the sirens in our town. Not certain why the other reviewer stated it does not turn on, ours does, maybe ours is a different model or newer. I have had ours turn on during late hours and was loud enough to wake me out of a sound sleep.

No. You can turn off voice alerts but that is all. My question to you is why would you? Would you not want to know about any alerts in my living area.

If you slide the &lt;weather&gt; switch from "on" (red) to off, the WX radio will no longer be in standby mode and therefore will not monitor for or sound any transmitted alerts (this defeats the whole purpose of having a WX alert radio, doesn't it?). Instead, use the "defeat siren" feature to silence all but the most essential alerts. Also, set the alert feature to "voice" mode so that the siren and radio shut themselves off in short time whenever an alert IS issued.

In the Nav mode select the tools icon. Then select Sounds and Warnings. Next page down and select Speed Warning Settings Now you can turn off "Warn when speeding" or set the limit percentage

Yes, if you have it set to the monitoring status. But, once it turns on you will need to reset it or turn it off. I t will not turn off after the alert is finished.

I don't think there is a "life time" for dependable alert notices. As long as it's up and running, it should give you reliable alerts. Ours just stopped working after one season (two separate radios). We'd plug it back in in spring and it wouldn't function...no lights, no alerts, nothing. Doesn't make sense. But I continue to buy these because they offer a great peace of mind during storm season, even if I have to replace it every season.

I think this radio doesn't show historical messages. I know that whenever the National Weather Service issues more than one message, all messages that are in effect are displayed in a continuous, scrolling motion, but only while in effect. This radio does not have a way for you to scroll through messages yourself

not sure what you mean by smart weather alert. But you can set radio in Weather alert mode. Radio will remain in standby mode until there is a weather statement, watch or warning.

Actually my alerts only go off when using this antenna. I totally recommend using this with the weather radio. Make sure your settings are correct and you are tuned to the correct weather band as there are multiple frequencies

Yes. I have turned off all alerts except tornado warning (which also is an alert that you can't turn off). It is a tedious process however, so plan on a chunk of time and paying close attention to the instruction manual.
