good radio, only down fall is that the county we live in is so large we get alerts for tornados that are well over 60 miles so that can be annoying. from Amazon.com I purchased this radio as I live I the Pine Barrens of NJ. It works very well and receives all the alerts. It is great for thunderstorms and if there is ever a forest fire, it will send alerts and this way I could warn my other friends who live here and since I am disabled, it would give me time to grab my coffee and run. from Amazon.com works great no problem programming turn on and off alerts warning and watches u want from Amazon.com Without the instructions I would never have been able to configure and use the radio. Once this hurdle was over, however, the radio has worked fine and I have been very pleased with it. We have had several severe thunderstorm and cyclone alerts and it has reported them in a timely manner. Suggest Amazon check our the instruction booklet situation, and if resolved I would recommend the purchase. from Amazon.com This is not my first weather alert radio... but it is the best I've owned thus far (and not the most expensive one, either). from Amazon.com This Weather Radio works very well. The dual alarm is a plus. The ability to customize alerts is great. Well worth the price. from Amazon.com Amazon replacement was hassle free. 2nd unit has been running for about two weeks now and made it through a few storms. Since I work on chips that drive these types of devices I am concerned about the surge protection built into these units by 1st alert. I have had both units on surge suppressors so an overvoltage should not have occurred. from Amazon.com I've had the 'First Alert Public Alert Radio with S. A. from Amazon.com We could never understand the verbal warnings on our old NOAA radio but this one comes in clear as a bell. It does take some serious attention to program it and to understand what each light means but I sleep peacefully at night knowing this radio will alert me to bad weather. I have one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom.....lovely that it can be programmed for only the counties that affect me too! from Amazon.com This product seems to deliver on what is promised along with a low price. It has already proved useful a few times when we had thunderstorm and tornado warnings. Sometimes everything outside is completely tranquil, but then only a few hours after the alert, it is a major storm outside. from Amazon.com
