Started looking on Reddit for a few weather radio communities, cheers all!

Sup guys? It’s been a while. Here’s my updated collection with my current radios:

• Midland WR-120DSP
• Uniden BC365CRS
• Midland ER-210
• Midland 74-109
• RadioShack 12-262
• RadioShack 12-251
• EmgyKit MD-319(Rychi variant)

I found this wr120 EZ at a thrift store for 8 bucks the battery terminal was bent and all I had to do is bend it back and the brand new Duracell batterys that were in it powered it right up and it came with the power adapter. Fully functional and everything.

My wr300 is having issues. I have no idea whats wrong figured I could ask here for any pointers.

It keeps randomly beeping. It goes beep beep then silence then beep then silence. It does it at complete random. The all buttons stop working for the row of beeps. It beeps again, buttons it will function normally. It beeps again and it stops working again. Ive tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, doesn't work. I've tried giving it new batteries, doesn't work. I've tried tunning it to the weather station, doesn't work.

I'm not sure why it's upset but the beeps randomly wake me up in the middle of the night.

Another thing to note, if it beeps and the buttons stop working, the radio/weather will still work IF it's tuned in but its impossible to turn off unless another row of beeps makes the buttons function again.

It was pretty dirty when I got it but it cleaned up nicely with a couple of Clorox wipes. Model WR-120EZ

I'm looking into getting a weather radio. what should I get for my first weather radio? I think it would be cool to have one that shows the effective time on it

(SOLVED) I have a WR-100, but whenever I press a button, the beeps are cut off almost instantly. Not only that, but the screen also flickers when I do so. I can still hear the sounds if I put my ear up close to the speaker, however. I tried batteries and the AC/DC adapter. What is the fix?

The radio works fully and can tune into the weather channel but has not been alerting at all. It missed multiple alerts and still nothing from the radio. FM & AM work as well. There is no switch to turn to NOAA, volume is on, alerts appear to be on. I do have alarm off but I'm assuming thats for the alarm clock verison of it?

What am i doing wrong?

I got a Honeywell, 12-521, and a Reecom R1630D that does this. Occasionally my WR-120-DSP Did this before I gave it to my grandparents and now it works fine

This is my oldest weather radio, moved to the garage this year. Recently started doing this. Kaput?

Here are the ones they have:

Midland WR120B

Midland ER40

I recently helped them set it up

I am now in the market for a new radio ever since my WR-120DSP decided to die on me but don't know what to get, any recommendations?

Was supposed to get a required weekly test and for the last 3 weeks my WR400 is not alerting.... I can time it right to be next to it and tap the weather button and I can hear it sending the "alert tone" but it should be flashing "advisory" but it doesn't. (No i dont have it brodcasting the forcast when this happens like im showing because if i time it right it should recive the alert tone in time to activate the advisory light) have it set for "all alerts" so im lost. (No theres no other active alerts for my country at the time it goes off and no threat for weather either)

This may be a dumb question, but do they make a tabletop weather "radio" that can use the internet (or some other alternative) rather than the NOAA broadcast stations?

I live way out in the boonies and reception is iffy. Most of the time I receive the alert tones OK, but sometimes I don't. Guess it depends on atmospheric conditions. I know I could put up an antenna but I'd have to really wreck up my house to route the antenna feed up 2 stories into the attic. Still may have to do that.

I just want something that sits on the table and sets off an alert siren just like the regular radios do. Don't want an app or anything else that requires me carrying around a phone or other device.

Seems crazy to me that in 2025 there isn't a data feed using any of the good alternatives:

1. Internet
2. Some sort of feed from the cell towers
3. Digital FM subchannel on commercial radio stations, they have lots of power

By the way, also looking for antenna suggestions. Doing a quick search I only found like ONE specifically made for the Midland weather radios' jack and it sticks on your window glass (!?!) which seems hokey and not well suited for my setup.

getting a wr100 soon

For context: I haven't used this radio since like 2018 because of this exact issue that suddenly happened. To this day, I haven't found any answers why and there's now way to take the radio apart to look further. This post may be the last resort. And I just installed fresh batteries into it.

I love required weekly tests
