Gregory B. from Atlanta, GAThis radio is easy to set up, and there should be no problems concerning battery life as with other brands due to a nice standby mode. I'd definitely recommend this radio to anyone looking for a quality, affordable weather radio.
Peter W. from Hockessin, DEIt is easy to set up, excellent reception and convenient to use at home plugged in or on a trip with AA batteries. An excellent product efficiently delivered by your site.
Bob S. from Bushnell, FLThis product exceeds my expectations. It was easy to program for the counties that I wanted to include. I sounded an alert the other night when we were having severe storms. Buying the unit with the stand and a/c adapter was a plus. It also came with a belt clip for portable use.
Excellent value!!!!
