The best weather alert radio by far is the Reecom brand, the basic model is the
R-1630.
It does things that no other alert radio does and some things that only a few let you do.
It has selectable county or multiple counties for warning areas.
It has selectable types of alerts. You can turn off amber alerts and other annoyances.
It is the only one (AFAIK) that properly responds to the "End Of Message" data burst, so it turns off after the alert is played. Every other one just continues playing for 5 minutes or whatever.
It has AA batteries for backup in case of power outage, and the batteries last a long time. The Midlands I had would run batteries down very rapidly if the power was out, which isn't all that uncommon during severe weather events out in the country.
The signal reception is pretty good, noticeably better than the Midlands I had.
