Summary: Died Quickly
Review: It quit working completely after a couple months. Of course this was after the warranty ran up. It was used very little if at all during those months. Must have been defective, but what can I do now except buy another one, which i won't.

Summary: Looks good, works cheap
Review: Sorry everyone, I really wanted to rate this high, ... It came with no antenna, standard. Without an antenna, it picks up few neighboring countie warnings, and lousy radio reception. The radio stinks, sounds cheap, like a ... 4 transistor I had 40 yrs ago. Hard to program (I work with computers), hard to operate. The alarm works half the time, probably due to no antenna. Save your money.

Summary: Hard to Program
Review: This product has the most difficult programming instructions I have ever seen. Even changing the clock time (which you have to do 2X per year) proves to be a major challenge requiring the manual. The manual also must have been translated from Chinese as it is also difficult to understand...even for someone like myself with a technical degree! I tossed the product out after 6 months.
