Thank you. I wish every how-to on you-
tube would be this thorough.

[@DeborahSolomon-l8u]

Well done!

[@edyoung6573]

Thank you very much for making this informative programing video on this Midland weather radio. Going to go order this one now. My old Midland finally bit the dust (it was almost 20 years old!) Great video!

[@EyestotheSky]

It's a fantastic radio and will serve you well. I appreciate you watching!

[@edyoung6573]

@@EyestotheSky I got it, I do not have the dang button beep option? Strange?? Maybe because I got the 120DSP?

[@DavidJones-vf3ff]

Your video is far superior to the written instructions that come with the unit.

[@EyestotheSky]

Thank you David. I'm glad it's been helpful!

[@robertcampbellii9787]

I wish more weather radios would let you adjust the siren level so that you can have it by your bedside.

[@anthonymiller8979]

What is the difference between this and the older WR100 radio?

[@LorainCountyEAS]

Can you make costum alerts ln the midland WR120-EZ?

[@Barnabas45]

Does this automatically turn off after a certain amount of time after an alert is indicated?

[@EyestotheSky]

Yes it does. While in voice alert mode, I believe it takes about 4 minutes to turn off after receiving an alert.

Midland says NOT to use rechargeable batteries - FYI…

[@EyestotheSky]

Excellent point! Thanks for mentioning that.

[@JosephCentkoCrowsNest]

WR-120 does not "charge" rechargeable batteries. You can use rechargeable AA batteries or Alkaline.
