 Ok for the priceNov 12, 2002
By Myron D. Toyama
I bought this radio because I wanted an emergency weatherband backup radio and chose it primarily by price and the First Alert brand. You get what you pay for. The AM/FM part of the radio is fine. The local weatherband is hard to catch, there's lots of interference unless you hold the radio, antenna extended, in a certain way. (Even then the reception is not very clear.) However, one of the best features is it comes with an A/C adapter.

 Defective Radio, Bad ServiceJun 14, 2007
By George Casella
The radio arrived with a crooked display and hard to use tuning knob. The package had obviously been opened before, so I got someone else's reject. Beach Audio will not pay return shipping under any circumstances, not even for sending me a defective product!!! So I am out $12 in shipping and have no radio.

JunkMar 23, 2006
By Disappointed
I purchased one of these radios before Christmas and it works great. I decided I wanted another for work, so I ordered another one.
I recived my radio a couple of days ago and had to send it back because the "preset" weather stations are off the mark and the only thing I can pick up is distorted and garbled. They sent me a replacement and it too is off station. At this point, I'm wondering if the first one I got was the exception. I do NOT reccomend this product unless you just want an am/fm radio, that part works great.
This will be my last First Alert purchase unless I can try it out first!

 A great radio!Jun 07, 2007
By Scotty
This is a great portable weather radio. Small enough to carry in your purse or pants pocket, your choice of using 4 AA batteries or the electrical cord that comes with it, a loud tone alert to warn you when threatning weather approaches, a nice handle for carrying, and it also makes for a great little AM/FM radio for when the weather is not threatning. The speaker is very good and better than most portable radio speakers. I read the comments up above about a little radio interfearance but you are going to experience that with all portable radios or scanners. This weather radio has an awesome telescopic antenna which you can aim for best reception. This weather radio was a great investment!

not a functioning weather radioJan 06, 2009
By William Rosenstock
I received the radio in time for Christmas but the weather channels don't function. I double checked the frequency and also had another weather radio which works, side by side to this radio. It does receive am + fm but not the weather channels.
