Does this weather radio have S.A.M.E. technology? If not, is there a product with similar features (radio, crank, solar, flashlight, etc.) that does?

Eton FRX5 coming out in a couple of weeks will - it's a superior device with the large exception of a non-replaceable rechargeable battery.

No. It will work as weather radio and will get alerts but the battery will eventually run down without recharging. A great device to have for entertainment and emergencies.

I would not recommend this radio. There is no WX (weather) key. To get to the weather, you have to scroll the small black band at the bottom of the display. Difficult to see in an office setting. Impossible to see in sunny, pitching seas.

This radio will not stay charged, even with new batteries. The weather channel will give you alerts only if turned on. Not sure about handle, just gave the thing away at a garage sale. Ugh

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.

It doesn't scan, you need a better radio for that. I bought mine for weather reports. Carry it in the motor home when we travel, always have latest weather reports at our fingertips. Good radio in my opinion.

Our Weatherite is brighter and last for 96 hours in continuous us, more than 96 hours when not used continuously daily.And Weatherite does not use oil/kerosene. It uses 2 D Batteries (not included).Again, go ahead and buy it from our Amazon Store below and you will be happy you did.More than 5000 customers can't be wrong my friend!Regards,Takabis Global Technology an Amazon Merchant Store.

It does. But it has a very sensitive tuning dial. And as with most shortwave the time of day and weather conditions make a big difference in what you can tune in. Bought it for my don to use for Boy Scouts Radio Merit Badge.

Not that I know of. I don't think it has a radio feature. At least I haven't seen it.

I think they make one now that has a USB port. Mine is older model. Can't charge anything. Also if you just looking, I wouldn't get this. The solar panel takes forever to really charge. And radio or flashlight only works couple of minutes

No, this radio does not have End of message programming. it does use S.A.M.E. Technology

It has regular stations picked up by the same stations a car radio does. It does not have a weather specific button button or station.

For me, the main feature of the radio is the multiple weather channels and a strong enough tuner to get local emergency stations. I would not expect this device, at this price point, to pull in much on SWI or SW2--but it does get a few. Mine did not come with a clip and reel.

Doesn't look like it. No battery doors or panels. Although, I've had this thing for a while now and it still hold an excellent charge and is very loud. The weather band is so-so, although CA doesn't have many events where it matters.

No, there is a separate unit, I believe it fits into the battery compartment, sold separately for radio triggering. The functionality for it is there but you must purchase the radio trigger unit separately. Without it you get ambient and flash readings only.

No. But the batteries last a really long time. This is the best pocket-sized radio I have ever owned.

No scan function for non-shortwave, may not work in car. This is a nice little radio that I stopped using one week after purchase. Why? It works only on battery, about 8 hours. It will not work while charging, which takes many hours.
