Allows for sway, haven't broken my antenna in a garage yet. I run it off the back of my pickup with the 4 ft firefly antenna, so when it flops around at freeway speeds it doesn't hit anything. Might be annoying if you have it set up closer to the cab.

Works better if it is mounted close to you or the windshield so the sound can bounce off the glass back to the mic.

This would be a lot more useful if you didn't have to have your head within 18 inches of the screen... that's just too close to be comfortable for more than a short time. It really should alloe you to sit up to 4 feet away and still work... 3 at the least.

Not nearly as good of a range as it should have. They love to claim "interference" for it, but  don't expect a system to connect past fifteen feet away from it if there is something larger than a 2x4 between the system and the extender. Buy something else.

Didn't work for me, it is however very dependent on location.

Most of our tv stations are close together except 1 which is a few miles further away.  This antenna has trouble bringing this one in.

I would not use this next to a bed as controlling the unit (for alarm setting) would wake up your partner due to the very loud beeps when you control it.  This does not bother me though as we use it downstairs and not as a radio/alarm clock.

We bought this to replace another alert radio we had, which we could not switch off Thunderstorm Warming.  On that radio we could only switch of watches and advisories.

With the WR300 you are able to switch of all alerts bar a few very important ones such as Tornado Warning.  We switched off everything as we do not want to be woken up in the night, apart from Tornado warnings.  We really do not care about winter storm warnings and freezing fog warnings as these tend to be predictable and you can plan for them accordingly with plenty of time.  Tornadoes are another matter, where you do want instant warning and this works perfectly well for that.

You can program the thing for up to 8 SAME areas.  I initially programmed it for our county and the neighboring counties as we are close to the border of several counties, but in the end I took the other counties off as I was getting too many alerts that were not heading our way.

With all the alerts disabled, the unit will still flash and light up with there is an alert but it will not make the siren sound.  The type of sound is programmable - if I recall correctly from memory.

The radio has presets but you can store only three and the sensitivity of the tuner is not very good.  However as an alert radio it does want we need.

For our purpose I will give the unit five stars, but for the general review I am marking it four stars because:

- the radio is lousy and it only has three presets
- the inability to disable the beeps is annoying making the alarm function (next to a bed) fairly useless
- there is no time on the display to show when the alert will end.

it's odd because it works . but the alters are not as loud as my old one (that stopped working) . also annoying is reception. it sits in the same spot and will lose connection with the tower making it beep every 1 min +/- 1 min (a Very low tone and annoying .. because your not sure where the sound is coming from . till it does it a few times) .. it will be fine for days then decide it needs to be moved again or antenna adjusted ... my one wish is that there  was a signal strength meter on it . so i could place it in the best location possible

Works okay but have to be in the right place to get a consistent on off function.
Barn is 300' so at the end of the range.

I have one of these located a few hundred feet away from the router, and I don't have very much trouble with it.  At first I was having trouble finding a good location where it worked, but after I put it in the location it is now it works great.  I would suggest doing the initial setup where it is associated to the router near by, then relocating it to the spot you would like it to work.

Works if you're further than 5 feet away. Any closer than that and the fob will still transmit right through. My homemade metal box with aluminum foil lining works better.

I saw this in a retail store and was intrigued. I needed a way to see who was calling me easily and this little guy seemed to do just that, as well as keep time, etc.

Unfortunately, in the relatively quiet environment of my office, it's noisy - distractingly so. There is a spinning LED that makes a whirring noise that will get on your nerves after ahile if it's anywhere closer than about 7-10 feet from you. Ultimately, I unplugged it and will probably give it to a teenager I know who could care less about the noise.

Bottom line? As long as the noise doesn't bother you, it's a cool little device.

Works well, picks up at a decent distance, very susceptible to making noise on recoding  with the least amount of hand movement, so set it down if you can. I am using it a commissioner meeting so I have to hold it.

Sound is ok and it plays pretty loud. Problem is your phone has to be right next to it. I placeed my phone on top of it and when I moved it a foot away the connection broke up. Range is bad

Phone has to be positioned exactly, I find some annoying.

I have to be less than 2 feet away from the box and at a perfect sight level for it to work. Where I sit on my couch is only about 8 feet away from the box (tiny condo living) and it won't work from there. I have to sit right by the box for this to pick up signal and then I have to maneuver the height so it's just perfect. I've never been compelled to write a bad review but I am hoping this will save someone else $25.  I can use our wireless mouse from my couch - although it's tedious to click every letter when searching rather than using the letter keypad, I'd still prefer the mouse method 100% over this so called remote. I'm not sure if any other reviews noted this (I read reviews before I buy on Amazon, my husband sadly doesn't - yes, he chose this one).

Works fine after discovering that it has to be back 5 inches from the cabinet overhang. Overhang was only an inch but it was enough to block the sensor. The need for that space is not noted in the directions. Rather frustrating to have to unstick it twice and reposition it to get it back far enough for the hand sweep on/off to work.
