Review on 📻 HH50 Pocket Weather Radio by Midland by David Mcdonald

My city relays the NOAA weather forecast for our area in the upper part of the AM band. Sounds good right? You don't have to buy a special radio, do you? But it turns out there are two problems here. The minor problem is that my city is fifteen out of thirty minutes ahead of the NOAA broadcast for inserting local public announcements. The more serious problem is that when there's a big storm coming, so lots of lightning strikes from cloud to ground, what I pick up from the AM station is a continuous hiss that I can't make out a word. But this Midland HH50 radio never stops, even when the sky outside is lit with lightning. Pro: Pretty damn good value for fifteen bucks. Cons: 1) Sound quality is tinny. 2) If you try to use the weather radio in the middle of the house, you will hear absolutely nothing, as if the radio is broken. You must extend the antenna and/or place the radio in a window to receive the NOAA channel. 3) Remove the belt clip with a Phillips screwdriver before adding or replacing batteries.
