The Midland WR300 is a great radio, for a good price as it contains features that most people would like or need. One of those is changing the siren volume, where you could have a high or low setting, unlike the WR120, where it's going to be loud. The second one is where most radios have this nowadays, and that is selecting which alerts you want to receive. You can select which ones you want and ones you don't. But kind in mind, you might get a "check reception" message if you don't recieve alerts within 10 days, so I would suggest the "Weekly Test" message to be alertable (by default, it will only scroll.) However, unlike most radios, (some might have this) it's where you can add your own alerts that are not on there by default, like Snow Squall Warning for example. It really is a excellent radio, although some people might not have the money or just don't want it. That's fine, I get that. By the way, if you were wondering, this is a Version 8 as seen when you first plug this radio in or putting the batteries in. For people who are looking for this kind of radio, I would recommend it. For a cheaper radio that still does the job, get a WR120. Both will suit you well. It's your choice.
Great Weather radio. You can disable a lot of the Alerts and they will not set off the radio's alarm. However, the radio will light up the LED and there will be a message to show you what the Alert is. I work for a PBS TV station. The Alerts I received on this radio matched the Alerts we received in a SAGE Digital Encoder at the TV Station. This is a GREAT radio.
I am extremely pleased with this radio. It has great sound, and it offers a tremendous number of features. I live in an area where severe storms are fairly common, so this radio will have a permanent place with my emergency gear. The WR300 is exactly what I was looking for in a weather radio.
Review concerns poor reception/non-reception of warnings/alerts. I have owned a Midland WR-300 (WR300) for more than 16 years. I had difficulty programming it (county warnings); but took the radio to my local NWS Weather Forecast Office, who kindly programmed it for me. Later, I adjusted it so only counties immediately surrounding OK County warned me. Kudos to the Forecast Office for their help! Regarding warnings and alerts, it is IMPORTANT that you DO NOT PLACE YOUR WR300 WITHIN 0-4 FEET of other Radio Frequency-emitting devices (e.g., cordless phones or other electronics). If you aren't getting warned/alerted, MOVE your WR300 FARTHER AWAY from other electronic devices. (Per the instruction manual, FCC Compliance, "This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation.") Moving your radio may help, as it worked for me, so try moving it away from other electronics before returning it. I hope this helps you.
This Radio/Alarm does everything it says and the Weather Alerts are a very handy thing to have, especially with the extreme's we get here in the Midwest. The alert has already worked and I needed it for my job, so it was well worth the price. The radio is crisp and clear and it's nice to have push buttons for easy access.
Excellent Midland AM/FM/Wx Radio. Bought it today and has excellent reception. Good sound. Easy to program. So now I have a excellent radio for AM/FM/WEATHER Radio for alerts of severe weather. Will reccomend this radio without hesitation.
Very nice radio for the $. I only purchased it as a backup to my main mobile radio in my chase vehicle, but I use it quite often. Sound quality is good, and the reception is fantastic, once connected to my dual mobile weather ant's. The backlight is great for night chasing, and not too brilliant on the eyes. The alerts always went off in perfect time with my main radio... great performance. It is easy to use, and far superior to the more expensive Sangean CL-100. I went through 3 of those before purchasing this one. I highly recommend this for all of your weather safety needs, whether at home or on the road. Great product once again Midland....Bravo.
Of the midland weather radios, the wr-300 is the only one that allows you to select which alerts will sound the alarm. Nice if you don't want to be awakened for, say, a flood watch. I also wanted a clock-radio, so that I only have one device on the night stand. My only complaint would be that the programming is not very intuitive. You have to have the manual in hand to know how to program the functions. (But, I expected that from my experience with an older version of this product.) Also, so far I haven't figured out how to have the alarm actually turn on the radio, and not just a beeper. But, I suspect I simply haven't figured out the programming. As I stated, I have had a similar Midland wx radio for years. VERY dependable. Also, this works on batteries when the power is out.
Instructions are clear and easy to follow. It gives my wife peace of mind. Very easy to operate.
This is a step up in the Midland line and is well worth the price. It provides easy set up and use. The AM/FM side is a little weak but if you want a radio get a Bose, after all this is a WEATHER radio and a great one at that.
