Digital camera reviews of Midland WR100B Weather Radio
Digital camera Review: Lousy compared to models from a decade ago
Summary: 1 Stars
My family used to have a weather radio that had an easier to use interface that wasn't deafeningly loud when performing set up tasks. Most importantly you could set it up to just wake you up for tornado warnings. I have health problems and desperately need to sleep through the night when there are no life threatening emergencies. Last night my family was awakened around 2am by this product for a thunderstorm WATCH. I will be throwing this product out and searching for one that is easier to use and that allows me to select only tornado WARNINGS for the audible alarm (like our old family model used to).
Summary of Midland WR100B Weather Radio
The Midland WR-100B Weather/All Hazard Alert Radio gives up to the minute weather, hazards and civil emergency information. With SAME Technology the user can hear alerts from one county to mulitple counties. Its 25 County Programmable memory allows the user to monitor alerts in up to 25 counties. The User selectable warning systems allows the user to select a 90 db siren, voice alert or flashing LED. The WR-100 features an a 12 hour clock with alarm and snooze. Emergecny battery backup with 3 "AA" batteries (Not Included).Stay up to date on all the latest weather, hazard, and civil emergency information with the Midland WR-100B monitor. 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 WR-100B is a must for people who live in high-risk weather areas, such as the Southeast or Midwest. Plus, the seven NOAA channels offer coverage for roughly 93 percent of the U.S., so most people are well covered regardless of where they live.
Another valuable function is the monitor'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 selected county or counties. The technology eliminates all alerts from other areas, so users won't have to perk up their ears each time the alert sounds only to find the emergency is actually 100 miles up the highway. In addition, the WR-100B's memory system accepts up to 25 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 with larger homes or who aren't always near the monitor, while the latter two options work well for smaller homes. Additional features include a clock with an alarm and a snooze button, an emergency power backup that keeps your radio working during power outages or outdoor use, and external antenna and alert jacks.
The WR-100B, which works with three AA batteries (not included), measures 5.12 by 2 by 6.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.
