Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The radio makes a loud siren on its own, but you need to find your local channel and program your counties and alert type for it to work well. A family member can do this from the instructions in about half an hour. Adding accessories for someone who can't hear a siren makes the setup a bit longer.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Midland WR120 is a weather radio that listens to the National Weather Service broadcast around the clock and sounds an alert when a warning is issued for your area. You can set it to respond only to the counties you choose (up to 25) and pick a voice, siren, or tone alert. It covers severe weather like tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods, plus civil emergencies such as Amber alerts and chemical spills. On its own it makes a loud sound only, so someone who can't hear a siren will need extra accessories added to build a fuller alerting system. Connecting more than one accessory takes a separate dual connector/splitter.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Plug in the included AC adapter and place the radio where it can pick up a NOAA signal.
  • With a guide
    1. Install 3 AA batteries so the radio keeps working during a power outage.
    2. Look up the NOAA reception channel for your area, then program the radio with your local county or counties and choose a voice, siren, or tone alert.
    3. Test the alert and set the clock. Plan on about 30 minutes, longer if you add accessories.
