MD319 NOAA Weather Alert Radio with S.A.M.E Localized Programming, 23 County Codes & 80+ Emergency Alerts, Battery Backup, Alarm Clock, External Antenna and Warning Light for Home & Emergency

Fast shipping and easy set up, directions are easy to follow. Setting up the county code is a little tricky but once you google your county its pretty straightforward. We get all the alerts as soon as our county is warned. I really like how fast the alerts come across and with 3 volume levels you can tune have it wake up the whole house if you want. Highly recommend this product! Surprisingly good reception with the extra antenna. Screen is nice and bright and easy to read. It's nice and compact size is helpful to place in any number of areas. Has great functionality as you can turn alerts off and on as desired. Seems to be durable so far.

Seems like the tornadoes are getting stronger and more frequent so I ordered this weather alert warning system. The alarm is loud enough to wake us in the night. The alarm goes off before my phone or tv alert, every second counts when there’s a tornado. It has battery backup in the event power goes out. Very pleased with my purchase. Works as it should. Not difficult to set up if you read directions.

Quality seems good.

This weather radio was easy to program for alerts in our area. It works fine.

It took me a while to unpack this item. I set it up shortly before storms were on the way. It worked perfectly! It put out an audible alarm and the red light flashed as hoped. I am definitely pleased with this!

First, this thing looks like it came out of the 60's and it's bigger than I expected. Why? This isn't a piece of tech I want to show off, it's a weather radio. It should be discreet until needed. If you don't care about looks, it's the most bang you can get for the buck. It comes with the external antenna you can use perhaps more discreetly than the telescoping antenna and a red light to make the alert highly visible. Beyond that, it's big, ugly (IMO) and gives you TOO MANY ALERTS. I live in tornado alley. All I want is tornado, severe thunderstorms and flash flood WARNINGS. You can go through the tedious task of turning them all on/off individually but I want to control ALL of them. I don't need "Contagious Disease" alerts. I have a cell phone for that. I don't need earthquake or hurricane alerts. Admittedly, my SAME code eliminates them, but I have family in those areas, but I can't control what alerts I get. They tell you the default ones are on, but you can't tell what the defaults are without going through them all. The process took me about 30 minutes. The instructions were generally thorough, but the buttons were pretty hard to press and it got old. You can't set the siren AND voice, which is odd. I'd like to have the audible siren followed by voice. Ideally, I'd like to set it by time so it makes more noise overnight, but that's a lot to ask for the price. I've got mine tucked out of sight, but I sure wish I had this radio/features in something that blended into the average countertop and not off the Starship Enterprise.

This unit is great! After an easy setup, just hit the large bottom button to get accurate forecast. And setting up alerts, you can get a voice, flashing light, or siren when really bad weather is coming. Looked at another unit at twice the price, with more features, but this one meets my needs.

I bought this in June. The alarm does not work. We bought this to have in our bedroom so we could clearly hear the message. We have another (different brand) in the kitchen. During inclement weather the kitchen radio works well. This unit does nothing. The weather channel come in clearly, so I am sure that is not the problem. A second problem is that there is no customer service. I had to go back to the the original order just to find the manufacture. There is no way I could find to contact them. Google suggested going through Amazon. I'd love to return this radio.
