Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
We had the older version of this little radio for years The problem with the older version is that it won't turn off. We now keep the older one in the house and keep this one in our car for our travels. We just put the batteries in, made sure the directions were the same (from the instruction sheet) to set time date etc. And it is ready to go You can set it up, which is a bit more difficult, for specific oounties but we just turn it on and it will automatically go to your closest weather area. We really like this radio.
