After reading the reviews I was not  going to order but so glad went ahead.  I have not had a problem with line noise and set up was very easy.  Just turn it on and follow the instructions. Good price too..

Great weather emergency radio to have! Well made and I would buy it again!

Works as expected
Nice to have a standard radio as well as the weather radio.
One feature we like is that the unit will not continue to run an alert cycle over and over and over.
My old unit would not auto stop the alert. that meant in the middle of the nite you had to get up and stop it.

Radio sounds very good. It is easy to scan to a local weather band when traveling down the Intracoastal Waterway. The aux input allows me to plug the laptop into the radio and play tunes from Youtube whenever I have access to WiFi. This radio is a real bargain for its price.

I give this weather radio five stars for its ease of setup and functionality.  Delivery was swift, as expected, very fast.  We have plenty of tornadoes in north Texas which requires a reliable, quality weather radio that works.  Out of the box, on battery, it brought in the NOAA and FM stations clearly.  It was very easy to program with S.A.M.E. county code and weather channel.  Just what I needed!

This Midland Weather Alert Radio does what it's supposed to do, alert you when bad weather is coming.  I like being able to set which alerts I want.  I live in the Piedmont of NC and there is NO chance of an avalanche here and this gives me the ability to ignore an alert for this.

I bought this radio to replace another emergency radio I bought less than a year ago. (The old one I bought from Amazon and paid more for it....it was marked "Red Cross" so I assumed that was a good sign....it was not....that radio never worked right.)
 I live in an area where weather can be unpredictable so I needed a good warning device like this.  Unlike my last weather radio.... this one was simple to set up (less than 2 min) and it actually works....alarm is loud but that is what you need if a tornado or other destructive weather pattern is close.  Reception for the weather report function is quite good.  Overall this is a great value.

This is a handy radio to have around.  In addition to sounding a weather alert in the middle of the night while other electronics are turned off, it provides weather reports with a push of a single button. Being equipped with AM & FM bands, it can also be used to listen to regular broadcasts.

I also bought the Ambient Weather WR-090  pocket radio based upon price and good reviews and I must say I like the WR-090 over the Midland.

Comparing the two.

The sound and volume are very similar between the two.

The reception of the WR-090 is slightly better than the midland I would say.

The quality is the same..........both cheap plastic and toy like.

With that said, I do like that the WR-090 has a AM/FM radio so you can listen to your local radio station for weather updates.
I like that it has a back light.
I like that It has a flash light.
I like that it can run off of a mini usb cable if you don't have batteries.
It has a headphone jack.

This isn't a bad radio at all, you just get more bang for you buck with the WR-090.

This radio will either stay at home or go in the tackle box.

Took away 2 stars.
One for cheap crappy plastic used to build it and another because I had some issues with it working right out of the box.

Love the ability to shut off some alerts. I don't need to hear thunderstorm watch... I only want warnings. Great weather radio.

Our summer place has no local television or local radio weather reports.  The Midland weather radio gives us real time quality weather forecasts and alerts unavailable through other media.  A distinct advantage in the further places.

Great useful radio in times of extreme needs. It is always great to know you have a radio that you can depend on when the weather turns bad and it seems to be turning bad frequently lately.

The radio is a solid well built item. It is a dual band radio. Both UHF and VHF will tune above and below the ham range. I did not see if it would transmit on those frequencies. Several of the club members, including the extra class VE's have them. None have told me about problems caused by the way they are made. I have had no problem with mine. The UHF band tunes high enough to reach the NOAA weather channels. We had a bad storm and we listened to the local weather station, and the Tulsa as well as some other stations deeper in the storm. The "rubber duck antenna" is good for close range, I almost doubled my reach with the aftermarket antenna. In my rarely humble opinion, it is well worth the price. Getting the second battery was a good bonus, and the speaker/mic is clear. I did not like the over the ear headset, but that is the only thing that I can say was not totally first class. It may have been the earpiece was just to small for my ear.

I like that this radio has NOAA since I use when there storms and power outages.  This does everything I want in inclement weather!

I went through two Midland WR series weather radios that died in under a year before getting this one from Alert Works. I was put off by the odd appearance at first, but after using it for six years, I've learned to love it. It has functioned perfectly, and the S.A.M.E. technology isolates the alerts to your area. I used to hate when the Midlands would sound the alarm for an approaching storm, and then continue to sound more alarms all night after the storm had passed my area but was approaching somewhere else. Tricky to program, but no worse than the Midlands...just follow the directions and it gets easier. I have to fully extend the antenna to get a clear signal. Very loud, so it stays out in the kitchen, but wakes us up in the bedroom. It turns itself off after about 5 min, but comes back on if there is a new warning. There are alert lights that stay lit, so if you're out and miss a tornado or storm warning, you will see the warning light, and then read the scrolling message. Seems third time's a charm...

This is a great weather alert radio -- you get a lot of flexibility in terms of selecting which watches/warnings you want to get an audible warning of, and with the SAME encoding, you can set up the radio to only receive alerts for your specific county. The radio also has a set of LEDs that indicate whether there's a current advisory, watch or warning.

The radio gets good reception, and also has ports for an external antenna, for external siren/strobe, and for an external speaker/public address system. In short, the Reecom weather radio is a very capable, very flexible weather radio.

It's also reliable -- I've had mine for a couple years now and have not had any problems with it.

My only small complaint is the volume control -- when listening to the weather radio, the "lowest" setting is still somewhat loud.

Replaced older Midland unit that was out of date.  This unit is almost a plug and go weather radio and is very much appreciated in our neck of the upper midwest !!
