Good radio for the price

Having only recently acquired my WR-100B, I have not had the opportunity to receive a severe weather warning. I think it's good. I just hope he's doing his job when the next tornado warning comes. I really would have many opportunities to hear this radio work if I bought it in the spring. We've had a wild spring/summer here in downtown Illinois! Aside from waiting to hear the real warning in person, the radio is nice and compact, taking up only a small area of my kitchen countertop. To avoid…

The radio still works and has outlived both the more expensive and manual crank models. It has a backup battery, 3 AA batteries - Duracell is the best brand you can buy. Just make sure to buy your (fresh) batteries well in advance of the storm warning and supplies. NEW UPDATE: Looks like NOAA changed the horn system and this device now turns off after a warning instead of
