Review on ๐ŸŒช๏ธ La Crosse Technology S83301-1 NOAA Weather Radio featuring Tornado ALERTS by Maxwell Thomas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor reception, constant atmospheric noise

There are 2 other different brands of weather radios that work great in rural areas. Purchased for the "Tornado Only" alarm feature. Constant static background hiss when turned on, no noise canceling control to make it quiet when there is no reception. And it doesn't even pick up our local weather frequency unless you stop at the next hill. All of our other brands of weather radio have excellent in-house reception of our local Noaa channel. Constant static, no reception, very short antenna, no external antenna plug option, not sure what it was designed/intended for. I will give it to someone, I hope the weather will be.

Pros
  • Long range
Cons
  • Nothing
