I bought a Midland WR-300 a while ago and really like it. Then as a housewarming gift for a friend, I bought a WR-100 model at Publix. But when I set it up, the display was bad. Brought it back and exchanged it for another one and set it up. But the next day, the unit was dead and wouldn’t even turn on.

I got a refund and ordered a WR-300 from [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Midland-WR-300-MIDLAND-WR300-Weather/dp/B00009V2YV/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270211820&sr =8-1"]Amazon[/ame]


For $16 more, the WR-300 is a much better radio. Unlike the WR-100, the WR-300 allows you to selectively shut of some of the alerts like the weekly and monthly tests, etc.
