Rating:  - Old Model Weather Radio
There are newer models for portable weather radios that fix some of the problems in the reviews listed here, including the WR113 that includes a charging dock, and the WR601 that has non-volatile memory and a dock, so you don't have to input your SAME codes after the battery runs out.
Rating:  - Oregon Scientific Portable All Hazard Radio
A great tool to own especially when you are outdoor in the elements. It forecast the weather conditions, such as forth coming storms, the temperature, the winds speed and much more. Excellent gift for the outdoors persons!
Rating: - When I need it most all I get is static
I've had this radio for a couple years. It works OK in the city. When I went camping in the Adirondack Mountains all I got was static. OK, I wasn't too surprised, although I would think there would be service up there for the mountain climbers' safety (The ADKs have many peaks and is home to the Army's 10th Mountain Division).

Rating:  - Less Than Expected
I bought the Oregon Scientific WR102 to supplement an older weather alert clock radio that did not have the SAME feature. I never could get it to work right.

My wife took the WR102 to work and tried to get it to work there and got the same results; it would not pick up local NOAA alerts. It would pick up the local NOAA station when the NOAA button was pressed.
I bought the Oregon Scientific WR103NX to ... Read More
Rating: - kayak, boaters weather radio
I love this weather radio. I go kayaking and camping every weekend in the summer. This little radio is a must. When in State forests in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois.. storms come up fast. I always enter the local SAME numbers and have it on. Has saved me from being on the water or in the open.. many, many times when storms have suddenly come up.
