 - EXCELLENT WEATHER RADIO!I have looked a long time for the perfect weather-alert radio. The old ones "warned" so often they were annoying. Also, in hurricane and tornado-prone Florida, I wanted a portable unit that could go with me in an evacuation, but with an AC adapter so I wasn't wasting batteries at home. This unit fits the bill. It's about the size of a walkie-talkie, with a nice solid feel and soft touch buttons. It uses a cordless-phone type rechargable battery (included) and has an AC adaptor, so you can use it 24/7 on standby in the home. It has a hand-crank if things get extreme. Having been without power for 8 days during hurricane Charley, this is a nice touch. It also has a LED flashlight for power outages. The setup is easy, but the owner's manual is not the finest piece of writing I've ever encountered. The unit is rather self-explanatory, though, so it wasn't a major problem. The LED display is easy to read, plus it has a siren feature for emergency alerts, as well as LED warning lights. On standby, it's silent. The SAME feature allows you to add multiple individual county codes for very accurate local information, without alarms outside your area of concern. It also has an "all county" feature for when you are on the road and/or don't know the local codes. I found my local codes online at the NOAA website in minutes. I'll add a long-term report later on, but so far I'm mighty impressed! Rating:  - Protected 24/7 NON-ANNOYING RADIO. YOU SHOULD BUY THIS!Wow this product is great. It tells you right away when there is a warning for everything. By Voice or by a siren. (not a annoying siren at all. It just beeps) More with siren. I Have it right by my bed and there is three lights that was stay on for the current warning. for ex. if theres a Tornado warning a small alittle light will turn on which is red for Warning. It comes with FM radio. One good thing is its not annoying the 1st volume is so quiet,great for a small bedroom or just a large kitchen . Just but it on standby when you got it hooked up and your fine. No worrys. It has 3 lights red for=warning yellow=watch and green for statement. Also when the power goes out it comes with a back up LCD light on top which turns on when you dont have it pugged in or the power is out. SO WAT YOU WAITING FOR this radio will not put you down.It also keeps a history of your alerts.(even Weekly Tests) and monthly as well. I also think this is great for gifts. I gave one to my older grandpa and older parents and they love it as well. 5 thumbs up for me
