I suggest you call Midland radio customer service (number on their website) and let them talk you through re-programming. Mine also had the "check reception" message and I called and had them walk me through re-programming. Very easy to do. I have mine programmed for Sumter County.
Yes, mine went off at about 4 am for flood warning and about 4:30 for tornado warning. I then turned on Channel 10 to watch where the tornado cell was and it was headed toward Wildwood, Oxford, and The Villages before the cell dissapated just about 5 am.
I was talking with a friend this morning and asked if he had the Code Red on his phone or a weather radio. His weather radio is packed in the garage and they have Code Red on their cell phones (they just use cell phones) but they turn them off at night. Good moves!!
