Midland HH50 Pocket Weather Alert Radio
The Midland HH50 Pocket Weather Alert Radio is the perfect portable companion that can alert you to incoming weather emergencies, hazardous conditions and a variety of other hazards. It's easy to use, affords instant access to weather and features a telescopic antenna for crystal clear reception. The HH50 is equipped with seven preset weather channels, a frequency band between 162.400 and 162.550 MHz and an alert with a 1050 Hz tone. It's also equipped with a belt clip and wrist strap for convenient carrying options.
The HH50 helps you avoid hazardous conditions in a variety of ways. It features Alert Override to automatically warn you of hazardous conditions - even when your radio is on standby mode. Upon start-up, the radio performs an Autoscan to locate a weather channel, which makes finding your local weather channel quick and easy. It has an Alert Test Mode, as well as an All Hazards Alert. This last feature provides a number of other emergency announcements besides weather conditions. It alerts you to a child abduction (Amber Alert) emergency; a nuclear power plant warning; a biological hazard warning; a civil emergency message; a fire warning and even a landslide warning. With this variety of hazard alerts and weather warnings, the HH50 is sure to keep you informed if an emergency is happening in the area.

A great radio for a great price. I bought one for each car, just for emergency weather conditions. I will order another for my mother. They lock on to your local emergency frequency immediately.

Comments about Midland HH50 Pocket Weather Alert Radio:
This is my first weather radio. I did need the more expensive ones with an AM/FM radio. This device is inexpensive, portable and very easy to use. It's also made by a company known for their weather radios. I have already recommended this product to a friend. I've also tested the radio and the warning siren will wake the dead, which is good. This product does what it is supposed to do.

Comments about Midland HH50 Pocket Weather Alert Radio:
I have had a few radios that claim to have the weather band , but none have worked at all. This weather radio works pretty well, though not quite as well as my ham radio that also gets the weather channel.
It does not display the station it is on, and pushing the scan button is the only way to change frequencies. During a test on Mt. Hood it moved between three very clear weather channels in sequence. My Ham radio received 4 to 5 channels though.
It is much smaller and lighter than it appears, fits easily in a T-shirt pocket with just the tip of the antenna showing if at all.
Pictures show it with AA batteries for scale, and a pen. Antenna retracts into a sturdy top.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Midland HH50 Pocket Weather Alert Radio:
When it transpired that my wife's new car did not have a weather band equipped radio, the search was on for an alternative. The Midland HH50 pocket radio turned out to be the perfect solution. It automatically seeks out the strongest signal and reception has been excellent. We haven't tried the alert function. Be aware: You must supply 3 AAA batteries to power the radio.
