 Midland Weather Radio July 14, 2010
Jake Brown
Great Weather radio, small and portable, yet big screen display and powerful receiving range. Loud volume and alerts/alarms, easy to program your county code or codes, long lasting battery power.
Great package with features others didn't offer August 21, 2010
Michael Opager
We bought this as a replacement for an older weather alert radio that was beginning to fall apart from old age. The charging base is nice, but even better, if you are travelling for an extended period, you can disconnect the AC adapter from the base and take it along to charge the radio directly. You can also use the supplied battery pack and standard AA batteries interchangably, The radio also offers several alert options that our old unit didn't have. We are impressed with the features Midland has included in this package!
Nice for the price August 1, 2010

I purchased the package with the rechargeable battery pack. Very impressed with the standby life of the battery. Took it on a 2 week trip, listened to forecasts a few times per day, left it on during 2 severe weather episodes, still had battery left at the end of the trip.
Why not 5 stars? There is an audio confirmation "beep" everytime you press a button, including the volume, that is WAY too loud. No instruction to shut this feature off, e-mails to Midland asking for a work-around have gone unanswered.
 Good weather radio, setting beep loud and annoying July 5, 2010

This is a good weather radio.
Pros:
- It allows you to program the S.A.M.E. codes for weather alerts for selected counties.
- The speaker can reach a good volume without distortion.
- Reception of weather signal is very good.
- Travel mode enables easy finding of strongest signal
- Alert can be display, tone, or tone followed by voice
- Rechargeable battery with dock
- Feels nice in the hand, good grip
- Strong belt clip
So why only 3 stars?
Any button press produces a loud beep. Even button presses to turn the volume all the way down produce loud beeps. There is no way that I can find to turn this "feature" off. This should be a no-brainer for Midland. All of my other electronic devices that have a beep option have the ability to turn it off.
If you wanted to listen to the weather forecast and had family or roommates sleeping and you wanted to turn the volume down to not bother them, in order to turn the volume down you would have to press the volume button several times, with each time making a loud beep.
If you wanted to set the alarm for the next day, and had family or roommates sleeping, each button press needed to set the alarm would produce a loud beep.
I hope that I am overlooking something and that there is a way to turn the beeping off. If that is the case, I will be happy to delete this review and post a 5 star review.
