Emgykit NOAA Weather Alert Radio with S.A.M.E Localized Programming, 23 County Codes & 80+ Emergency Alerts, Battery Backup, Alarm Clock, External Antenna and Warning Light for Home & Emergency

Fast shipping and easy set up, directions are easy to follow. Setting up the county code is a little tricky but once you google your county its pretty straightforward. We get all the alerts as soon as our county is warned. I really like how fast the alerts come across and with 3 volume levels you can tune have it wake up the whole house if you want. Highly recommend this product! Surprisingly good reception with the extra antenna. Screen is nice and bright and easy to read. It's nice and compact size is helpful to place in any number of areas. Has great functionality as you can turn alerts off and on as desired. Seems to be durable so far.

I've been using these S.A.M.E. All Hazards radios for many years. Started with Midland WR-300 'deluxe' style, both died right outside warranty. No longer sold by Midland, probably because such rubbish. Still using a Midland W120, but wanted one for upstairs so I don't sleep through an event without knowing about it. This Emgykit MD319 is just as good as the Midland W120, looks better (not a big white thing), and speaker of better quality, sounds much better than my Midland radios did/do. And most importantly, COMES with an external alert strobe, great for my hearing loss so as not to miss an alert. Also COMES with an external wire antenna that plugs into RCA jack on back. The bonus alert strobe alone makes this a great value, the one Midland sells separately costs almost as much as this entire radio kit! Has all the features the Midland does, and if it lasts, will be the only brand I buy from now on.

Bought it for my neighbor they are a young family. Thought it was a nice gift. Hooked it up right away. And with all the storms lately it worked great.they are really glad they have it. Easy to set up

Works well for weather emergencies. It is difficult to program so unable yet to use all the functions but the tornado watch/warning was perfect.

Yes. It sends out an alarm we can clearly hear throughout the house. It’s small enough that it fits easily on the table. I wasn’t sure I would like it but I do.

It quit working. After a couple of weeks the screen went blank & it made a faint sound. We unplugged in & removed the batteries & the sound stopped. After a couple of weeks I thought to try plugging it back in. It seemed to be working but then the alarm didn't go off for bad weather this week even though all of the settings were correct. Today it say check reception but there isn't a trouble shoot of what to do. Now we're past the 30 day return policy.

First, this thing looks like it came out of the 60's and it's bigger than I expected. Why? This isn't a piece of tech I want to show off, it's a weather radio. It should be discreet until needed. If you don't care about looks, it's the most bang you can get for the buck. It comes with the external antenna you can use perhaps more discreetly than the telescoping antenna and a red light to make the alert highly visible. Beyond that, it's big, ugly (IMO) and gives you TOO MANY ALERTS. I live in tornado alley. All I want is tornado, severe thunderstorms and flash flood WARNINGS. You can go through the tedious task of turning them all on/off individually but I want to control ALL of them. I don't need "Contagious Disease" alerts. I have a cell phone for that. I don't need earthquake or hurricane alerts. Admittedly, my SAME code eliminates them, but I have family in those areas, but I can't control what alerts I get. They tell you the default ones are on, but you can't tell what the defaults are without going through them all. The process took me about 30 minutes. The instructions were generally thorough, but the buttons were pretty hard to press and it got old. You can't set the siren AND voice, which is odd. I'd like to have the audible siren followed by voice. Ideally, I'd like to set it by time so it makes more noise overnight, but that's a lot to ask for the price. I've got mine tucked out of sight, but I sure wish I had this radio/features in something that blended into the average countertop and not off the Starship Enterprise.

It works like a dream! The owners manual takes a bit of time but it’s very good !
