Andrew Carlstedt If I had to guess, it's probably because it's not reading alerts anymore. I've seen his past videos. The 12-262 almost never activated.
I have the Radio Shack 12 - 991 weather radio and I love it. You wouldn't believe it but both wxl 31 in Syracuse and Puerto Rico Maricao my grandmother's station both operate on 162.550 megahertz channel number 7 in the radio memory bank so I can just put it on channel 7 on wxl 31 Syracuse and then when I get to Puerto Rico it automatically picks up Maricao signal loud and clear at my grandmother's house all I do is a signal test to make sure that it gets proper signal from the station and it works just fine. I'm also going to Portland Oregon so I will be bringing it to Portland to see if it works there I'll have to get my aunt's same code once I know what county she lives in as I don't know where she lives right now and she lives in Portland Oregon I plan to put memory Bank number 3 on any same frequency so that way when I go it'll automatically pick up the nearest weather radio signal and go off for any Portland Oregon radio alerts. yes they still selling I think I got it on amazon.com I use it as a daily alarm clock this is because you can put batteries in it so just in case the power goes out your alarm clock will never go out because it has battery backup
I think to fix the issue on the 12-521. Reset it. {unplug the adapter or remove the batteries then plug it back in or put the batteries back in while holding weather/snooze} if all else fails then look to see where you can get a new one.
Awesome collection! Now I want to do a video of my own. Also, as for the 12-991: they don't seem to manufacture them anymore, but you can snag one new on Amazon for $10-$20 (they like putting them on sale randomly).
I like that camouflage radio. I want one! If only they had them in pink camo then it would totally fit right in perfectly haha I think I mentioned that before, too bad they don't have them :/ lol
Yeah, I honestly think the HH is much better than the 522. I like them both, but my 12-522 is just so glitchy. For example, (this is in my recent EAS compilation) the 12-522 went off for an alert, but didn't play the audio. Then when I tried to turn it off, it did the alert volume set thing, making that SMW the second fail of the day!
Nice video! Got a few questions for you: How well has the 12-996 worked for you? Are there any noticeable differences between the Reecom 1650-C & D? And didn't you have more broken radios than this?
Do you have extra batteries ? Do you have any lithium batteries for long shelf life and cold weather operation ? Do you have a Solar Panel to power the back up batteries ? Thank you for the video ! tjl
18:14 WOOOO
16:37 my favorite and always will be
Mine somehow didn’t go off for the Required Weekly Test today even though it had Near Crystal clear signal
My Wr-120EZ's antenna snapped by something but I replaced the old antenna with the WR-100 antenna and it works even better
+SPCKalamazoo4056 Holy Crap dude !!!!!
16:03, " which is located above the 5 in 853" *Changes to 854*
I found the radioshack 12-259, the older version of the 12-522.
link to where i found it. www.ebay.com/itm/Handheld-Hazard-Weather-Alert-Radio-Radio-Shack-12-259-/201419073873?hash=item2ee5832951:g:FqAAAOSwLVZV5e1G
The WR301 is just a WR300 but with a custom paint job. "Oh, let's take a 300, repaint it, and change one number, no one will notice!"
*I noticed.*
10:15 THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!
same
20:26 or u can get the Radio Shack 12-262
Very cool! Although, where is your Radio Shack 12-262? And nice short party! Hahahahahaha
The 12-262 has been retired. Thanks for watching!! :)
***** Why was the 12-262 retired?
Andrew Carlstedt If I had to guess, it's probably because it's not reading alerts anymore. I've seen his past videos. The 12-262 almost never activated.
SPCridge2012 In his older uploads it went off.
Andrew Carlstedt True, but I guess he decided to retire it anyway. I think it was one of his first radios.
yes you are awsome
i like the old radios. my dad had one when he was a kid and its mine now.
Amazon has a 12-521
11:13 camera battery dies
Your room looks great 👍
Minties.. Wut? Is that like candy or something?
I just captured a EAS at 5 am this morning

I bought one for my dad for $11, and I bought one for me for $7! Now they're $12 ish.
Heck those thing are like $6 on Amazon now!
:o I got the midland HH 50 yesterday.. I got it because well, there was a bad storm moving through.
Nice
I really want a NOAA Weather Radio they have 1 at my local Walmart
Btw you can get the radio shack 12-991 on Amazon for only $8
1:47 I mistaken that weather radio as an alarm clock I say it looks like an alarm clock cuz it really does
Nice! Is there an easy way to tell the wr123ez apart when shopping? I think that's the second radio I want to get along with my hh54vp2
I believe if you look closely on the packaging, you may notice it say "WR-120EZ" or if it's not an EZ, it would say "WR-120". Hope this helps! :)
so are all the new ones ez's?
Most likely yes, but I wouldn't be so sure. I know there are still 120s and 120EZs floating around the stores.
I like that camouflage radio. I want one! If only they had them in pink camo then it would totally fit right in perfectly haha I think I mentioned that before, too bad they don't have them :/ lol
Still sick over a year later, I see.
Wow! I got my 12-991 on Amazon for $8
The WR100 is the first weather radio I got a few weeks ago :)
what about the one I gave you that broke
I still have it, but I only presented the currently working radios in this video! :)
There's going to be some rain today here in New Jersey. I'll try to get some video of it.

"Florida Georgia Line" lol! Lets party! lol! Looks like my pocket radio is working good for you!
Yeah man! I love using it and taking it to school should severe weather threaten! Thanks again!

What weather radios do you recommend?
Midland w120 is good for starters you can get it cheap off of amazon
Austin Hance Midland Wr-300 or Reecom R-1650. Highly recommend those two radios!!
Can you do another one

Is there an actual use for camo on a weather radio or clock radio?
very late response but yes, it is a different version of the midland wr 300
Nice video! Got a few questions for you:
How well has the 12-996 worked for you?
Are there any noticeable differences between the Reecom 1650-C & D?
And didn't you have more broken radios than this?
+SPCcrandford1056 Will you do a review of your wooden NJ Transit ALP-46 locomotive which was in front of the broken Radioshack 12-521. Please?
