Review on Versatile NOAA Weather Radio: Portable AM FM Shortwave with LCD Screen, Auto-Scan, SOS Alarm, Sleep Timer & Headphone Jack - Ideal for Home and Emergency Situations (No Clock Function) by Brian Wolf

Summary of this radio. If you're looking for a small pocket radio that you can use in places where there isn't cell service (like in the woods, hiking in the mountains, during a storm, etc.) this is a pretty good radio. You can lengthen the antenna for better reception. You can search for channels by pressing or holding the up or down arrow keys to find the next available channel. This works well for AM and FM radio stations. You can set a timer on this radio but the instructions are terrible. I set a timer by pressing a clock-like button, but I literally don't know how I got it to work. The timer can be set for 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes - but how to set the clock in general isn't clear. I had to keep pushing buttons until I finally figured it out. I was able to set the timer for 15 minutes and when the time ran out the handheld radio turned itself off. The guide shows you how to set up the weather alert function. However, the instructions for setting this alert do not work. I have no idea how to do this because I could never figure it out. We plan to use this when the power goes out and cellular goes down. We live in an area that has frequent tornadoes in the fall and spring and this at least gives us a chance to connect to the local weather station when our cell service and power go out. I'm not sure you can really call this a weather radio when the only function of this radio is to listen to local music stations or local weather stations. The sound quality is pretty good. See my video for more details.
