Stay Alert with First Alert Public Alert Radio featuring S.A.M.E (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Review

I purchased this product after a recent (5) tornado storm in our area west of Huntsville, Alabama. I bought this item through Revain, I had it at my house in 4-5 days. I opened it up, read the instructions and went online as instructed to find my state and county and wrote down that number. Then I followed the instructions, put in the batteries, connected it to the wall and made all the necessary settings. Works perfectly!

It's priceless not to be awakened by a severe thunderstorm across the state.- When an alarm activates the radio, it will beep, an alarm will play and the radio will return to standby until the clock/alert is updated. However, depending on the

I've been looking for something like this for a long time and have read many, many reviews of both weather radios with/alert and desktop only -Device Alerts. Finally committed to it. I had no problems with it, it works as it should. I change batteries regularly. It's noisy. Our house is only 1,000 square feet so we can hear it in every room, even with the doors closed. Yes, I programmed my own SAME codes for my county and counties adjacent to mine. It wasn't that hard. I also set up which…
