Product Description Midland is a world leader in wireless two-way and weather/hazard alert radios, with an extensive line of land mobile radios, CB, GMRS and FRS radios, MURS radios, weather-monitor alert radios, itinerant radios and a line of quality antennas and accessories.
Amazon.com Product Description 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.

Midland Weather Radio is Worth the bucksOctober 5, 2008 This is the best weather radio yet.Easy to program. I like the alarm clock. I use it daily to listen to my local forcast and the alert is always on. I can sleep knowing I will be warned no matter what time it is. Everyone needs one of these little jewels. Very affordable too!
Midland Weather RadioSeptember 23, 2008 I was pleased with how easy it was to set up. I haven't had any alerts yet, so I don't know how well it works.
Great productSeptember 22, 2008 The Midlands Weather Alert radio is easy to program, and has great features & controls. My only reason to give it only 4 stars is because the volume control is by preset notches, and I would like it to be 1 notch quieter. We turn it on to listen to the weather when we are going to sleep, and it is a little too loud for me.(but it might be ok for someone else) It is also much better than a more expensive model we got at Radio Shack which has only VERY LOUD volume, and is hard to program (some settings are impossible).
Serves The Purpose......September 13, 2008 I bought this weather radio as a secondary receiver due to all the storms that the Northeast received during this past Summer.
Our original weather receiver is the sister to the WR100 the Midland WR300 and still works very well.
Though this radio does not have all the Bells & Whistles as the 300, it did serve the purpose we bought it for.
One difference with this unit compared to the WR300 is the volume control. The 300 volume control is a knob on the side of the unit compared to the 100 that is controlled with up-down button control on the top of the unit.
Also with the 300, you can control the level of siren tone you wish to use (low - high), but with the 100 there is one set level of the tone which is high.
The 100 does have a digital screen type of display which will inform you of the type of watches or warnings being announced but will not inform you of it's expiration time (watches/warnings) as does the WR300.
It does not take up much room on a table or cabinet.
Both the 100 & 300 are battery backup working on AA batteries.
One feature not contained in the 100 is the AM/FM radio which can be used also to monitor local news. If you do not need this radio feature, then this radio is for also for your purpose.
Though many look at costs these days, life and safety can not be bought. But a good reliable working radio is the number one concern to be considered.
With the recent change of weather patterns in the USA, NO HOUSE should be without a weather radio to keep you up-to-date with watches & warnings in the summer and/or winter.
BE PREPARED!
Bought three, one works!!September 7, 2008 In November 2006, I ordered 3 of these as Christmas gifts. Within six months, one was not working. I was able to send it back because it was still under warranty. Shortly after the warranty period was over, another one quit working. Only one of the three originals are still working. I am very disappointed with this product.
