The Midland WR-300 AM FM Alarm Clock Weather radio is the latest in weather and hazard alert monitoring technology, providing you with the information needed to keep you safe. The Midland WR-300 weather radio has a special receiver that tunes to the 24/7 broadcast issued by the National Weather Service as well as standard AM and FM bands. The combined All Hazards/Weather Alert broadcast network is the single, most immediate source for comprehensive weather and emergency information available to the public.

About NOAA, NWS, & S.A.M.E. County Codes

In 1994, NOAA began broadcasting coded emergency signals that identify the specific geographic area (such as the county within a state) that is affected by an emergency. Until that time, such specific emergency weather information was not available directly to the public. NOAA transmits the coded emergency signals using a technique called Specific Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E.) The WR-300 weather radio is designed to receive these S.A.M.E. county code transmissions.

The National Weather service divides the United States by state and county (or parish) and assigns a six digit code number called a FIPS (Federal Information Processing System) code, also known as a S.A.M.E. county code. You can program the weather radio with up to 23 S.A.M.E. county codes. The weather radio allows you to receive broadcast alerts for either your own county, or for up to 23 counties. This will eliminate any alerts that are not within your area of interest. When you program your S.A.M.E. county code(s) into the WR-300 weather radio, you eliminate any alerts that are not within those counties. Warnings, watches and advisories of weather and other area emergencies, about 50 different types, will activate the weather radio for only your programmed specific area.

The S.A.M.E. message the NWS sends contains information pertaining to the period for which the alert is valid. NWS can set the active time of the alert from 15 minutes up to 6 hours. When the designated time has passed, the weather radio display message and light will automatically reset to their normal appearance.
