Midland 74-250C Handheld All Hazard Radio
Stay informed of current local weather and hazard conditions whether
you're camping, hiking, hunting or simply hanging around the house with
this handheld Midland weather alert radio. Capable of receiving seven
National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA) channels, each of
which receives emergency advisories on tornadoes, floods, severe
thunderstorms, civil danger warnings and more.
The 74-250C is a must
for people who live in high-risk weather areas or for people who just
want a little extra protection when hitting the outdoors. Plus, the
seven NOAA channels offer coverage for roughly 93 percent of the U.S.,
so most residents are well covered regardless of where they live.
Another valuable function is the radio's Specific Area Message Encoding
(SAME) reception. SAME allows users to program the radio to sound an
alert only when weather and other emergencies threaten a specific
county or counties. The technology eliminates all alerts from other
areas, so theres no need to react each time the alert sounds only to learn that the emergency is actually 100 miles up the highway.
The 74-250C's memory system accepts up to nine counties, so you can
monitor a broad swatch of counties at once or restrict it to one.
What is S.A.M.E.?
S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) allows this radio to be programmed to sound an alert only when weather and other emergencies threaten the selected county (or counties). This technology eliminates all othe alerts which are only intendd for locations outside the selected area. Weather and other emergencies can occur at any time, day or night. Without S.A.M.E., you could be unnecessarily alerted at any hour for an emergency as far as 100 miles away.

Should
an alert occur, users have a choice of three warning systems: a 90 dB
siren, a voice alert, or a flashing red LED light. The siren is the
best option for people who might not have their radios nearby at all
times, while the latter two alerts are a bit less extreme on the ears.
The digital panel, meanwhile, displays up to 56 messages, so you'll
instantly know what's coming your way.
Additional features include a
built-in thermometer with a freeze alert that notifies you when the
temperature drops below freezing, a full-function clock with an alarm
and snooze button, an external earphone jack, and a water-resistant
housing.
