About Midland - WR120B/WR120EZ
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
86% found connectivity options easy
The radio has an external antenna option for users in signal-blocking buildings or remote locations. It also has an external alert connection for disability assistance or building alarm system integration.
78% were impressed with the portability
The unit sits nicely on a shelf or table but requires a lot of space overhead because of the single antenna.
The transformer plug has the same profile as a wall outlet USB adapter, making it easy to fit into a power strip.
The radio is very portable and can be placed anywhere due to its small size and thinness.
84% liked the frequency range, but 16% didn't
If you are concerned about possible weather disasters in your area, it is suggested to buy a radio that can receive NOAA broadcasts.
I realized that the radio has a limited range when I did not receive an alert for the freeze warning.
70% were satisfied with display and controls, whereas 30% weren't
It took me 45 minutes to set up the radio because the controls and screen are extremely simple.
68% appreciated the audio quality
The audio quality for spoken message is adequate and it is the same message I get on my TV or car radio.
69% appreciated the antenna length and design, while 31% struggled
I received clear signals with the unit's built-in 23-inch long antenna while sitting on a window sill.
The unit sits nicely on a shelf or table, but the single antenna needs to be extended, which requires a lot of space over head.
I need to extend the antenna farther for clear reception and I'm worried it might break off if the unit falls.
I couldn't receive the local NOAA station on my Midland radio even with an external antenna mounted 25 feet up.
