Digital camera reviews of Midland 74-250C SAME Handheld Weather Alert Radio
Digital camera Review: After 5 years of unuse!
Summary: 4 Stars
This weather radio was hidden in my dresser for a few years and not used.
I had forgotten all about it and why I had put it away.
So soon after it's discovery, I replaced the batteries and tried to figure out how to use it.
Now I remembered why I hadn't used this little radio before!
It's lack of an intuitive user interface topped off with hard to push buttons (Function/Snooze button).
This time I'm going to read the manual!!!! Whoops!! No manual!
I know, I'll do a search for it online and see if I can turn up a manual!
Awesome, here's one on amazon.com!
Hey, what do you know! It says I purchased this item way back in 2005!
After 5 minutes with the manual, I was able to set it up and connect perfectly with NOAA.
This radio has the smoothest sound from any previous weather radio I've ever owned. It is very clear.
You'll find that checking your local weather conditions is an easy task once you take the time to set it up.
I'm not sure about the battery thing that reviewers mention but if you turn off "Standby" it will save battery life.
It does have an input jack to charge rechargeable batteries. Also an earphone jack.
For me in California (southern) and checking the weather and surf report the Midland works perfect.

Midland Compact Weather Radio, YellowStay informed of current local weather and hazard conditions whether you're camping, hiking, hunting, or just hanging around the house with this handheld Midland weather alert radio. Capable of receiving seven National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA) channels--each of which receives emergency advisories on tornadoes, floods, severe thunderstorms, civil danger warnings, and more--the 74-250C is a must for people who live in high-risk weather areas, or for people who just want a little extra protection when hitting the outdoors. Plus, the seven NOAA channels offer coverage for roughly 93 percent of the U.S., so most residents are well covered regardless of where they live.
Another valuable function is the radio's Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) reception. SAME allows users to program the radio to sound an alert only when weather and other emergencies threaten a specific county or counties. The technology eliminates all alerts from other areas, so users won't perk up their ears each time the alert sounds only to learn that the emergency is actually 100 miles up the highway. The 74-250C's memory system accepts up to nine counties, so you can monitor a broad swatch of counties at once or restrict it to one.
Should an alert occur, users have a choice of three warning systems: a 90 dB siren, a voice alert, or a flashing red LED light. The siren is the best option for people who might not have their radios nearby at all times, while the latter two alerts are a bit less extreme on the ears. The digital panel, meanwhile, displays up to 56 messages, so you'll instantly know what's coming your way. Additional features include a built-in thermometer with a freeze alert that notifies you when the temperature drops below freezing, a full-function clock with an alarm and snooze button, an external earphone jack, and a water-resistant housing.
The radio, which works with two AA batteries (not included), measures 2.38 by 4 by 1.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.
