I have a really old Realistic cube-shaped radio with a single button on top, two knobs on the bottom, and an antenna. The knobs select the channel and volume and the button turns it on/off.
I had an old Midland WR-100 that stopped working, and I haven’t bothered to get a new one since. It’s not all that much of an issue where I live because my phone automatically alerts me to any severe weather in my area, which doesn’t happen all that often anyway. I plan to get one when I move to Stillwater for college, because Oklahoma’s smack in the middle of Tornado Alley, but the campus has tornado sirens, so I don’t know.
I’d imagine you’d be able to hear outdoor sirens throughout the entire campus. Like I said, I’ll probably have a weather radio in my dorm, but the campus is small enough that a single siren could probably cover the entire campus.
Wow, this topic is old. This topic didn’t even make it to the days when NWS switched from CRS to BMH.
Currently, in my collection, I have:
Midland WR120
Midland WR100 Version 3
Midland WR100 Version 1 (Black & Silver)
Midland HH54VP2
Midland ER102MO
RadioShack 12-262
RadioShack 12-996
RadioShack 12-519
RadioShack 12-260
Alert Works EAR-10
Emerson Research CKW2000
Emerson Research CKW3000
Sima First Alert WX268
I used to have more but I’ve gotten rid of some due to RF interference appearing in my room thanks to poorly shielded Cat5e ethernet cables that are positioned upwards along the walls.
It’s been a while and I decided to delete my updated collection post from a little bit ago, and put this here instead.
Anyways, here’s my current collection in each of their setups:
On my stereo (Left to right):
RadioShack 12-250
RadioShack 12-247A (Top)
Weatheralert TA-C1 (Bottom)
RadioShack 12-249 (In front)
Eton Solarlink FR370 L.L. Bean (Behind the 249)
Out of service:
Midland WR-120EZ (Power cord is on my Reecom and I already have to use 10 batteries so I’d rather not use 14, behind both the 259 and phone case)
RadioShack 12-259 (Dead tuner)
