Midland WR300 AM/FM/Weather Radio

Pros: Durable.  Many features.  Extra online support easy to find.
Cons: Set-up menu system is very tedious.  No hi-fi music.

The many previous reviews for the Midland WR-300 are all extremely consistant with each other.  It is easy for me to agree with all that has been said right down to the minute details both pro and con.  But lets go beyond what has already been ...

Pros: 24-hour weather alerts, battery back up, radio and alarm feature
Cons: mediocre sound quality, interference and hissing through speaker at times

First and foremost, the Midland Weather Radio Model WR-300 is a Weather radio. Sure, it has a clock radio capability, but it is more of a sleep saving device, rather than an awakening device. We live on the periphery of tornado alley, and ...

Pros: Very sensitive. S.A.M.E. technology Battery backup
Cons: Difficult to program Mediocre clock radio. Annoying beeps.

Appearance The WR-300 is described on the box as a “Weather Monitor with All-Hazards Alert.” It is a nice looking sloped panel radio with a telescopic antenna. A battery (not included) should be installed to power the radio during power outages. The ...

Pros: Reliability, Ease of Use, Quality, Stability, Receptivity and Selectivity, Alert Volume
Cons: Not good as an AM/FM clock radio.

This is a superb weather radio. I have been searching and tried a number of consumer retail weather radios over the years in the moderately expensive price range. None have performed, as well as, the Midland WR-300. It works absolutely flawlessly as a ...

Pros: Features for the money, purchase price, easy to use once setup
Cons: Difficult to setup, must download codes from internet, no wall bracket

This radio is a vast improvement over my 15-year old weatheralert radio. The S.A.M.E. encoding means I can pick and choose what counties to program in. I chose the county I live in and about a dozen other counties to the north, west, southwest, and ...

Pros: Great WX features
Cons: AM reception stinks

This weather radio has great weather radio features and the FM is good. However the AM reception is deaf as a doorknob unless you are right in the city. I am only 30 miles from Columbus Ohio and can barely get their strongest station and it is the ONLY station that comes in. I think it is a problem with Midland AM circuits in general as the AM on my XT-511 GMRS Base camp radio is also deaf. Yet I get great AM reception with several pocket transistor radios of other brands Do not consider this as a bedside radio - it is good for WX only.
