I purchased this Midland Weather Alert Radio several years ago... I am grateful for the peace of mind that it provides! ❤ These alerts will save many lives! ❤ ❤ It's a Great Value 💰 / I'm totally satisfied! ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Thank you for the review. I live in Northern Arizona and our reception out here is tragic. Attempting to experiment with different external antennas. Gov't broadcasts always sound like something from 1942! 🤔
Theres a guy on YT with a vid that shows how to make one. I bought all the parts and made it. Cost 25.00, but its very flimsy and doesnt work as well as my $6.50 antenna.
@@LoneStarPrepping @MikeDamours-y7s I just uploaded a video "Midland WR120 or WR400 (Easy) and best external antenna setup" to my channel, just 3 quick and cheap Amazon purchases required!!
I'm just hoping that Midland might one day update their portable ER E+READY line of products to include: - S.A.M.E. technology - a home/travelling mode like the HH54 - language option (like the WR products)
@@LoneStarPrepping Yeah, at first glance I do like the design of the Sidekick in general (SAME, crank, solar, AM/FM, bluetooth, etc). But the form factor is pretty big, knobs/buttons are weirdly placed, but most annoying thing is the non replaceable battery. We all know what happen to an internal battery over the years... An ER310 with S.A.M.E. would be nearly perfect for an all-in-one solution at home and while travelling.
@@LoneStarPrepping Just if anyone is wondering, I've actually sent an email to Midland about it. They replied the following: "We do not foresee having portable radios with S.A.M.E. technology in our ER E+READY product lineup. The benefit of these on-the-go emergency radios is that you receive local weather at the press of a button, no matter where in the United States you travel, with no programming needed".
We have an issue with the power cord coming out sometimes if we move the radio just a bit. We ran our batteries down twice. Just be sure to double check the connection when moving it.
@@LoneStarPrepping try to stay in contact with a family member if they had to leave on foot in an emergency. We live on an island that is full of large evergreen trees.
Ours is always on, but we hear nothing until there is an alert we programmed in. In fact, I double checked ours today because there is a possibility of sever thunder storms next few days.
Hello, I am a seller of emergency weather radios. We have designed a radio with the largest battery capacity on the market. Are you interested in testing it?

That would be nice...
The portable Eton - Sidekick AM/FM/NOAA Radio has S.A.M.E Technology

Good review, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Thank you. I remember you... You are a long term sub. Thanks!
Great radio, don't wait to hear sirens!

What a great video! We have learned so much from you. Any thoughts on good walkie talkies?
How do you plan to use walkie talkies?

Ham radio for sure.
So should r this radio stay plugged in at all times
Yes. Mine is. In fact, you can have it do a weely test for you.
@ thank you!
Does this radio stay on? Like someone speaking at all times or only talks when an event is in place? Thank you for the video.
Ours is always on, but we hear nothing until there is an alert we programmed in. In fact, I double checked ours today because there is a possibility of sever thunder storms next few days.
@LoneStarPrepping thank you very much, Im new to Texas and my brother gifted me this radio. Very helpful video thank you.
Glad I could be helpful!
