  • Unboxed and setup the Midland WR120b Weather Alert Radio today. Instruction book is very meager and doesn't explain all the accessory ports. So if anyone has more info on those (Cloning port, External alert jack, etc) please post in the comments section. Menu, like most Midland radio products is not intuitive but I figured it out. I have it setup on the main floor and it feels nice having it there. Let me know what you think.

    I ran a search on this radio and is its claim to be able to access commercial AM/FM radio true? If so, how do you get to AM/FM mode on the Midland WR120?

    I got mine since January for seismic alert in Mexico and it works perfectly; but I wonder if it's more important to have the antenna fully deployed but with NOAA blinking, or having the antenna almost in its minimal length but without the blinking.
    Signal is received better with the short antenna, but manual says I must have the antenna fully deployed

    • @TheRealCobraBurnout
      @TheRealCobraBurnout  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would set it however you get the best signal. Just my 2 cents.

    • @TheRealCobraBurnout
      @TheRealCobraBurnout  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You set the state and county like I show. Then the channels are pre-set for you. Its an ancient menu system like all Midland products that sorely needs updating to this century at least.

  • @JoeSiegler
    @JoeSiegler 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have one on order here. There any way to test the alarm sound when you first get it? I know there's a required weekly NOAA test signal, but that's just for functionality.
    I wish there was a way to test the actual alarm when you're setting it up.

    • @Alex-dw4iw
      @Alex-dw4iw 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you keep going down in the menu there’s a subsection called ‘ALERT TEST’. This will start the alarm on selection. It’s loud, so be warned if you’re testing it without the knowledge of people around you.
