Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - News you need but don't want to hear
Weather Radio & Charge Cradle We shopped almost a year for this, and a couple of times thought we might not survive to find it. We travel full-time in our travel trailer and don't watch t.v. or listen to local radio. Our first clue weather is turning bad is the sky or weird temperature or wind swings. But you need better information, especially if you live out of doors like we do.

This little weather radio has been great. We receive flood warnings, weather warnings, and weekly test notifications. The box included a belt clip and the radio is so small it is easily carried. We leave it in the charger in our camper most of the time and have occasionally put it on the truck dash while we travel.

We have used other Oregon Scientific products with very good results ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Poor Execution
I purchased this exact same model direct from the Oregon Scientific store. It was brand new not refurbished or anything.

Welcome to the 1980's!

The radio does alert fine, but there are at least 2 not so clear area's in the instructions for setting it up. The instructions must have been written by Scientific engineers because there are a number of assumptions the user has to make to get through the setup steps. Luckily after quite a while and enlisting my 14 yr. old nephew we were able to figure it out. My nephew was even confused and he is an electronics geek and usually figures stuff out by merely glancing at instructions. He had to really read these though and make a few guesses before we got it set.

Once set up I noticed that the connection to ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - not good in the mountains
I live in the mountains in a rural area and I only receive one station that is the next county over. I was able to set it up myself, and I am not good at electronic devices so that was pretty amazing; the directions are good. I might call the company and see if they can help me find another radio channel that is closer to where I live. I did take it hiking and it fit nicely in my raincoat pocket and it was nice to have it just-in-case.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great weather radio!
Radio was easy to setup and configure to receive alerts for my city. At first had trouble getting reception but after carrying it upstairs and placing it on the ledge of a window, it works great! I have the volume all the way up so I can hear the alerts all over the house. It always stays in the cradle so the battery stays full charged. The LCD screen maybe a bit dim however I listen for the audible alerts rather than viewing the moving text across the screen. I highly recommend this radio!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works Awesome
I had an old Oregon Scientific radio before. This one has much better reception.

I like the travel mode, where you go from your preset SAME code to any. I also like the auto station finder, it just grabs the strongest signal. It sounds good, the volume is adjustable, it starts and stops on the alert tones which the Midland wr300 one does not. I would not purchase one where the alert starts and then simply continues for X minutes.

I wish the scrolling text was in a smaller font so you could see more of the text but for those with weaker eyes its probably best.
