Great weather radio, performs well; however the instructions leave something to be desired. I figured out how to run mine mostly by trial and error. The radio does have an annoying "beep" each time its buttons are pushed and the AM/ FM radio stations sound tinny. In a rating of one to ten, with ten being the best, I would give it an eight.Midland WR-300 AM/FM Weather/All Hazards/Civil Emergency Alert Monitor with S.A.M.E.
