- peace of mind
This radio gives us a more secure feeling about our Minnesota weather. Works as advertised, every time. A short time ago I was in Grand Forks, MN. My wife called and told me to rush home due tornado warning in the grand forks area. Because of this radio I was able to avoid 2 tornadoes on the way home. Excellent product.

- Great warning system!
We bought this right after we slept through a night of tornado sirens. It's been great. We still need to program it so it only warns us about tornado's & not just a thunderstorm or flash flood, but it's evident that programming it can be done, we've just been lazy. It's great for waking us up in the middle of the night when there is severe weather so we know to head down to the basement & it even has choices as to what kind of alarm you want to hear - this way, it's enough to wake us up, but not so abnoxious that it scares us to death in the process. Great buy!

- Beeps a lot...But it does what we need
I would not use this next to a bed as controlling the unit (for alarm setting) would wake up your partner due to the very loud beeps when you control it. This does not bother me though as we use it downstairs and not as a radio/alarm clock.

We bought this to replace another alert radio we had, which we could not switch off Thunderstorm Warming. On that radio we could only switch of watches and advisories.

With the WR300 you are able to switch of all alerts bar a few very important ones such as Tornado Warning. We switched off everything as we do not want to be woken up in the night, apart from Tornado warnings. We really do not care about winter storm warnings and freezing fog warnings as these tend to be predictable and you can plan for them accordingly with plenty of time. Tornadoes are another matter, where you do want instant warning and this works perfectly well for that.

You can program the thing for up to 8 SAME areas. I initially programmed it for our county and the neighboring counties as we are close to the border of several counties, but in the end I took the other counties off as I was getting too many alerts that were not heading our way.

With all the alerts disabled, the unit will still flash and light up with there is an alert but it will not make the siren sound. The type of sound is programmable - if I recall correctly from memory.

The radio has presets but you can store only three and the sensitivity of the tuner is not very good. However as an alert radio it does want we need.

For our purpose I will give the unit five stars, but for the general review I am marking it four stars because:

- the radio is lousy and it only has three presets
- the inability to disable the beeps is annoying making the alarm function (next to a bed) fairly useless
- there is no time on the display to show when the alert will end.

- Works Great / Programming Somewhat Compliated
First off, I must say that my radio performance is excellent. I set it up and the only verbal warnings I get are for severe thunderstorm and tornado warning for my county (Lake County, IL). This is great so I don't have to be bothered or woken up for other warnings or watches that don't apply to me. Have only had one Severe Thunderstorm warning since I purchased the radio two weeks ago, but it worked flawlessly. Highly recommended.

Only reason for 4 stars and not five is that programming was complicated and not intuitive. However, directions are pretty good, and I was able to program just the warnings that I wanted for my county only.

- A must-have weather radio!
Having lived in Florida for over 30 years this is by far the best weather radio I have ever owned. With hurricanes, daily thunderstorms in the summer and an occasional tornado, this radio automatically keeps you up to date with the exact location of any inclement weather.
