I had set it up with the SAME code for my area and double-checked all my settings. Later, there was an Amber Alert and the darn thing did not pick that up either. Overall Review: Asthetically it looks pretty sleek, but what is the use of a good looking gadget if it does not do its job?? Pros: Portable, simple, included rechargeable battery and belt clip. Once you've read the manual an absolute MUST in order to set it up it is easy to set up and use.
Already warned me about tornadoes tonight here, so it seems to work. Cons: Reception seems lacking: I am picking up a different transmitter than the two listed for where I live.
Computer interferes with it some, if kept too close. Speaker has unacceptable distortion IMHO. Once a warning has played, it remains silent an option for a beep or such would be nice in case you're away when it goes off, especially considering how horribly dim the LED is! Overall Review: Included instructions are ok, but you have to read them carefully to figure out how to set this up because of how the buttons are assigned.
Without the manual you'd be lost. But bottom line is it works Pros: Does what it's supposed to do. Somewhat easy to set up and nicely portable. Cons: I own the WR which has been recalled by Oregon Scientific as it will not respond to alerts in all areas. Pros: Unit looks very stylish and comes with rechargable batteries and a charging cradle.
Cons: Unit fails to activate when alerts and watches are issued by the National Weather Service. In the four weeks that I have had the unit, there have been four scheduled weekly test and a number of alert and watch transmissions, none of which activated the radio.
I have been unable to get any response from Oregon Scientific customer support. I would not recommend this unit if you are looking for something that will alert you to a potential hazardous situation.
