How do you know or set the warning for your county orr city

No need to set anything - radio picks up closest NOAA broadcast. There is a third position on the on/off slide for alerts, which I don't use (in order to save battery power). My battery has lasted a LONG time and I use my radio every day - sometimes several times. I am 70 years old and this is by far the best, most convenient (and cheapest!) weather radio I have ever used.

This info is in the owners manual that came with the weather radio. I can't recall the details and can't locate the owners manual. You might try contacting Midland on line for assistance. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. Bob Johnson

As far as I can tell this little radio receiver will automtically home in on the nearest NOAA weather statation. The on/off slide swithch has a third position for weather alerts.

I did when I bought it, but I found the unit didn't work. I bought a better model from Midland. Midland shipped HH50 replacement but I have no need of it now.

there is a weather alert test button that allows you to confirm the weather alert functions...if you don't have the owners manual you can search on google the type of midland radio you have and pull up the owners manual there.

This model does not use the S.A.M.E. codes that limit the warnings to your specific county/city. But the radio signal sent by NOAA is not very strong and generally travels about 40 miles so your warnings are usually relevant. The best weather radio with S.A.M.E. is the WR 300 which allows you to not only use S.A.M.E. but you can filter out which warnings or watches are reported. The HH50 is a very good reliable portable but it does not limit which warnings you receive.

check out broadcastify.com for frequency codes. You just enter your zip code or location. Also try police scanner codes.com. This is very helpful. Again you enter your location, or zip code.

I don't think so but I haven't played with it much yet. You may be able to sign up for such alerts directly from your power company once the device is online. That's what I did with San Diego Gas & Electric.

You can turn on alerts for a single area, for multiple areas, or for any area. You can't turn off just thunderstorm alerts etc Sorry :(

Sorry, I don't know. Also, this alert was so annoying I deleted it. Being stuck in traffic and having the repeated alert 20 to 30 times was crazy. I also found if you drive paralell to a railroad on a freeway, any nearby rail crossing off the freeway will repeatedly warn you. I foud 90% errors so I dumped it. You may do well to let it go. Depends on where you live or travel. Bob

You can delete any county, but there's no way to cherry pick individual types of alerts. Other than missing child alerts, nearly all are for threatening weather that is approaching one of the counties you have chosen. I use my home county and the adjacent county that usually gets storms on way to ours. We have not had a problem with the number of alerts.

I went through the online manual (WR120) twice and saw no reference to excluding alerts. I called Midland last year and back then they indicated I would need to buy the W300 if I wanted that feature. Where in the manual do you see this feature?

Yes you can set it to only alert you for specific watches/warnings/alerts and which counties you want these for.

I am unaware of any way to restrict the kind of bulletin received, other than to have it set to "travel" mode so it tracks your location and sends bulletins pertinent only to your current location. It is set to give any bulletins from the National Weather service or the Emergency Broadcast System. If the weather is good and no reason for a warning to be issued, you can go days without the radio squawking. However, you may want more info than just tornado info. The radio will also broadcast information regarding other emergencies, such as forest fires impacting road travel--pertinent here in the West--or flash flood warnings.

There is an SOS button, which can be configured in many ways. It can be configured to call the police, or to call multiple contacts if an emergency were to occur.

Donna: My home landline service is thru the local cable company and the Guardian Alert works just fine. However, you (as did I) must make sure that your cable phone service provides *your* caller i.d. (your phone number, name, address) on your outgoing call(s). Most do these days, and you can verify it does simply by calling someone you know that has CID to see if your info comes up on their CID display. Sorry if this sounds condescending, but there's no point in buying Guardian Alert if you don't have an outgoing CID from your "cable phone connection." To be absolutely certain, call your local non-emergency (non-911) police number and explain that you want to verify your CID. They will be happy to accommodate your request because it ensures prompt and accurate response if you have a future 911 call. Btw, you can go to this web address and download a complete instruction manual (click on "Instructions V9.2 English) to read about its cable phone connections and everything else involving the Guardian Alert: http://www.logicmark.com/downloads/

I have NEVER gotten any kind of warning from this radio. It just sits and collects dust. It's useless, but I keep it in case of power outages because it is rechargeable by wind up.

You cannot. You set in the menu a specific NOAA frequency number (it doesn't list the frequencies, just assigns them a memory number) and if there's an alert, the radio will let you know.
