Reception:
Reception:
The National Weather Service operates a system of weather and hazard alert broadcasts cov-
ering a large area of the United States. Currently, only a few areas are not covered. Typical
broadcasts are within reception distance of 25-50 miles of the weather station. Your WR-300
weather radio can receive broadcasts from up to 50 miles from the weather station, depending
on your location and conditions of weather, terrain, etc. If you find reception is not good in your
area, try different locations in your home or office to find a spot of improved reception.
Placement near a window usually improves reception.
If a weather broadcast cannot be heard on any of the 7 channels, contact your local
NWS office and verify the closest station is on air. Also verify the channel frequencies the sta-
tion is broadcasting.
If your NWS is transmitting and you are not receiving the broadcasts,
you may need an external antenna. Please visit our website at www.midlandradio.com to
view our suggested antenna, the 18-259W VHF Through-Glass Antenna. This antenna
improves reception when applied to a window.
Please note: Metal structures are more difficult to receive reception in, because metal inter-
feres with the signal. If you live in a metal structure, you may need an external antenna.
