The new radio finally works properly

This is a terrible product.Had I seen the reviews now available, I would never have purchased it.The radio does nothing that it says it will do - except broadcast manually.None of the auto features work properly.The radio goes off with false alarms without any reason and in times of real weather warnings, it never goes off.I returned it for repairs 6 weeks ago and was told it would take 4-6 weeks.Today I was told it would take another 4-6 weeks.That means they don't have a clue on how to fix it...

First Alert Disappointment

This was my first weather radio purchase. Having recently moved to the Florida coast I figured it would be a good investment for storm preparedness. When selecting a product I relied on the First Alert name.Like several of the other reviewers we repeatedly seem to get the "Radio Reception Error-Listen to Broadcast" message. It occurs frequently -- day or night -- with no apparent trigger or cause. The standard alarm feature is difficult to set.I made the mistake of throwing out all of the original...

Design Flaw - "Radio reception error"

This radio should be taken off the market. The other reviewers are absolutely right. It constantly alarms (usually in the middle of the night) with "Radio Reception Error" message yet there is nothing in the manual about this. Not a clue as to what the problem might be or how to reset or disable it. You have to unplug the device and remove the batteries to reset it and it comes back again within hours. The customer service was no help. All they said was that I would have to send the radio in to...

Great Product

This product is almost everything that I have wanted in a weather radio.It allows to granularly select what type of alarms that you do not want to receive or not.For example, I live on a hill, so I do not care to be woke up in the middle of the night for a flood warning (recently happened and I slept right through it).This unit uses S.A.M.E. technology so I set it for my quadrant of the county and the corresponding quadrant of the surrounding county, which is where I live.Seems to work great.Only...

Problem with "Radio Reception Error-Listen to Broadcast" alert

This weather alert radio would be great, except that it constantly sounds the alert tone, flashes the warning light, and displays "RADIO RECEPTION ERROR-LISTEN TO BROADCAST" on the screen.This happens several times a week, when there are NO alerts being broadcast. As a result, this product is unusable and will be returned....
