I have read reviews and none seem to get a sterling recommendation. Looking for SAME technology, easy to program (HA!), battery backup and reliability. Any real world advice will be most gratefully accepted. THANKS in advance.
a friend just bought a Midland WR-120 (available at RadioShack, street price approx. $40). clock, battery operation if AC fails or not available, SAME technology and amazingly simple to program. took me all of 5-minutes.
I have this Mid-land and it works well - it works on batteries/12 volt adapter/110 v plug in adapter. It can be set with an alarm to wake you in the middle of the night if an emergency weather alert comes through. It locks in the nearest NOAA broadcast automatically so there is no need for codes - though it can work with codes also.
Radio Shack sells it and some Walmarts sell it.
