Amazon.com Product Description:
Stay informed of current local weather and hazard conditions whether you're camping, hiking, hunting, or just hanging around the house with this handheld Midland weather alert radio. 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 74-250C is a must for people who live in high-risk weather areas, or for people who just want a little extra protection when hitting the outdoors. Plus, the seven NOAA channels offer coverage for roughly 93 percent of the U.S., so most residents are well covered regardless of where they live.

Another valuable function is the radio'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 specific county or counties. The technology eliminates all alerts from other areas, so users won't perk up their ears each time the alert sounds only to learn that the emergency is actually 100 miles up the highway. The 74-250C's memory system accepts up to nine 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 who might not have their radios nearby at all times, while the latter two alerts are a bit less extreme on the ears. The digital panel, meanwhile, displays up to 56 messages, so you'll instantly know what's coming your way. Additional features include a built-in thermometer with a freeze alert that notifies you when the temperature drops below freezing, a full-function clock with an alarm and snooze button, an external earphone jack, and a water-resistant housing.

The radio, which works with two AA batteries (not included), measures 2.38 by 4 by 1.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

- does not alert you to emergencies
June 10, 2008: The National Weather Service issues a Tornado Watch for the entire state of Vermont. You would think this weather radio, turned on and with fresh batteries, would go crazy and sound an alarm, or at the very least display that there has been a tornado watch issued. Nope. This weather radio didn't. Other things I don't like about it: Difficult to set up. Difficult to get to the weather radio. VERY POOR RECEPTION!!!! I had to leave it in one specific spot in my house to get reception, ... Read More

- Works OK if you know its limitations
Like others say, battery life is short. I don't know where to get a wall power supply, but it would be nice. What we have found that works is to put it on alert at night when you need it to wake you, otherwise turn off the alert during the daytime. Here in the midwest, storms seems to be more numerous and stronger at night so that's when a person really needs the alerts. When the battery does run down, you have to re-set all the settings, except the location codes. After a while, you learn how to re-set ... Read More

- surprizingly difficult to use
You would think a weather radio would be pretty simple to use, but this one takes counterintuitive to a new level. First of all, while I'm not a tech genius, I am competent. I've built a PC recently, so its not like I'm an old man driving down the freeway with my turn signal on wondering what that ticking sound is. However, this radio had me beat. The interface is not at all intuitive, and the instructions are poorly organized. I tried a few times and gave up in frustration. My wife finally figured it out ... Read More

- Weather Radio
I bought the Midland to replace an Oregon Scientific that would not trigger on SAME alerts. As a member of SkyWarn, I need to get alerts when they happen.
I like the radio. It has a good feel and the weight is right. The nain push switch (on / off / speaker on/off / monitor) takes some getting used to. I keep it next to the bed at night and changing modes requires both hands. The set up was easy and the directions were easy to follow. I am thinking about getting the base unit for my Ham radio room.

- Midland 74-250C SAME Handheld Weather Alert Radio
Functions perfectly but operating system is very unintuitive, must consult owner's manual often, and even that is poorly written. Battery life not great, should look for AC adapter soon.
