Re: Give Me Some Tips On Setting Up A NOAA-SAME Weather Alert Radio
We have had the Midland Model WR-300 All Hazards Alert Weather Radio for over a year and am very happy with it. We have it set for A Single S.A.M.E. County Code 012119 which is Sumter County. The radio is also set choosing a "Voice" alert where the alert sounds for 8 seconds followed by 5 minutes of voice weather broadcast and then turns off.
The above setting allows any alert to be received for Sumter County only. We chose not to include Marion and Lake Counties because the radio would be sounding for areas that we do not live in and woudn't benefit us. The system works great. Setting the "Voice" alert has the alarm waking us if we are sleeping and then we can listen to the broadcast to see what the alert is for. If nothing serious we can go back to sleep after it automatically turns off in 5 minutes. When we have had the tornado watches or warnings we turn on the tv to visually see a map showing the area of Sumter County that is directly involved in the alert.
We purchased this on the internet after we reviewed the other models and brands and found this one to have the features we liked.
