Midland WR-120 Reviews

Lo-Tech And Awesome

It's simple to use and works great. The manual is just a few pages and set up takes minutes. Set it and forget it. Low tech, works without cell or wifi connection or even wall power! Should be a required purchase for anyone that lives in a rural area. I'm picking up more for friends and family.

I bought this and it always was searching for channels like I lived in a remote place I live close to a major city and live in a small city. And it kept beeping like there was an emergency but there wasn't , it was a beautiful day. I definitely would not recommend

question

what is cloning port ?
Asked by: Anonymous
A cloning port for a NOAA weather radio appears to be a port for cloning like radios with like information, which is usually done in large quantities. Cloning duplicates the contents of Radio 1 (master radio) into Radio 2 (slave radio). However, tuning and alignment information are not affected by cloning. Cloning is done with ham radios also.Enter an answer to this question.

question

Are the time and date set automatically?
Asked by: Jim S.
No, you have to go into the menu and set the time, the date is not an option on this radio. Also if you unplug the radio, you will have to reset the time.
