Stay up to date on all the latest weather, hazard, and civil emergency
information with the Midland WR-100B monitor. Capable of receiving seven
National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA) channels--each of
which receives emergency advisories on tornadoes, floods, severe
thunderstorms, civil danger warnings, and more--the WR-100B is a must
for people who live in high-risk weather areas, such as the Southeast or
Midwest. Plus, the seven NOAA channels offer coverage for roughly 93
percent of the U.S., so most people are well covered regardless of where
they live. Another valuable function is the monitor's Specific Area Message
Encoding (SAME) reception. SAME allows users to program the radio to
sound an alert only when weather and other emergencies threaten a
selected county or counties. The technology eliminates all alerts from
other areas, so users won't have to perk up their ears each time the
alert sounds only to find the emergency is actually 100 miles up the
highway. In addition, the WR-100B's memory system accepts up to 25
counties, so you can monitor a broad swatch of counties at once or
restrict it to one.
Should an alert occur, users have a choice of three warning systems: a
90 dB siren, a voice alert, or a flashing red LED light. The siren is
the best option for people with larger homes or who aren't always near
the monitor, while the latter two options work well for smaller homes.
Additional features include a clock with an alarm and a snooze button,
an emergency power backup that keeps your radio working during power
outages or outdoor use, and external antenna and alert jacks.
The WR-100B, which works with three AA batteries (not included),
measures 5.12 by 2 by 6.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a
one-year warranty.
