Review on WeatherX WR282B Weather Alert Radio by Tony Basler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Quality control degraded

I have had this radio for many years and love it as it was the only unit I could take into the woods and get clear stations and weather. After it broke last year I ordered another one - when it arrived I noticed that the dial was very difficult to turn, the frequency dialed was not what I wanted. So I returned it and re-ordered from a different seller - the dial worked fine but the analog settings were terrible. If I wanted to play a 96 FM station I had to turn the dial to 92... the settings are far from the same. At first I thought I had a bad radio (that happens) but when a second set arrived with the same problem I realized this was no accident. It will also be returned. If you don't care that the analog foil is far away then this is a good radio, but if you're out of town and unfamiliar with local stations it's not worth it. Spend the extra money and get something else.

Pros

Piece of junk especially after distribution processed it in its original container.
