I have the same type of radio. The other day when we had a severe weather outbreak, we could hear the warning alarm from anywhere in the house it is so loud.

Ordered one the other day for Hurricane season and my new channel, thanks for the info!
-

Good info!

Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out how to turn up the voice volume!

Here’s a few tips on this specific model: 1. If you take out the power cord, hold MENU, and plug it back in, the radio will reset. This will come in handy if your radio isn’t working. 2. Since NOAA is working on upgrading SAME codes, you can either manually change it to your portion of the county by changing the first digit, or you can make it alert for all of the county. 3. Upgraded versions of this radio have more features, including built in locations, actual event codes, and more. 4. Technically, the Retekess works the same way as the original model, but has some rebranding on it and such.

Just got one of em today, it’s awesome! Edit: I have the WR120 “EZ” tho

@Limitless Media Since you are talking about the same counties I live in. I think I have everything set up right and been using this radio for years now. I was wondering do you get winter weather alerts? Every winter the weather service will put out something that I hear on daily AM / FM radio, but nothing never goes off on my weather radio. I was wondering if you experience the same thing. Wondering if NOAA is not sending out tone alarms for winter weather in our area?

Thank you I just found one of these complete in the box at a local GoodWill for a few $'s, and was a bit confused, as the manual was very sparse.

recomended Female to rca adaptor known as 75 antenna connect to rca see amazon that will work for the external antenna to improve signal see Amazon

I wish we had a service like this in Australia :( but we don't, it sucks.

I have this radio. Worked for a while, very loud, then it stopped going off, then just today, found out after several months, it's because they were off lol.

this is a test, radio operation device, during potentially dangerous weather situations, specially built receivers are automatically active to this world

I got mine new yesterday. How do I delete a location entry. How do I reset and start the radio over? Thanks..Arnie
