Customer Reviews:
There has to be a better one out there...........2007-11-22
It appears they have made some improvements over the previous reviews as mine has a place for optional batteries and a switch so I can use rechargeables or alkaline. However, internal NIMH still is lacking in capacity. Also there is a place on mine for an external power source.
Instructions are a bit confusing. Says it comes with an internal NIMH battery and to charge it for 14 hours before using. Charging light is supposed to go out (according to instructions)when charged. It never did and this is my second unit charging well in excess of 14 hours. Then its internal battery only lasts for about 5 minutes after all that time charging. Radio reception is marginal. Forget the AM and FM. WB was acceptable but I am close to a station. One definitely needs to either install 3 akaline batteries or 3 rechargeable. I switched to Alkaline and except for poor FM reception, everything works better. Next I will try 3 rechargables and flip the battery switch as directed but the internal battery is a joke.
Case is good as is price and layout but POOR RECEPTION and poorly written instructions and box advertizing make 2 stars the best I can give. It says it has retractable cord.... its not retractable. It says it includes rechargable batteries but thats a joke cause its only a small capacity internal one. Good Luck WeatherX.
Update 11-26-07 To be fair After installing 3 new NIMH AAA batteries and charging for two days the blinking charge light still will not stop flashing to indicate charged as instructions seem to say it will. Anyway I removed my batteries to return unit and ... now running on internal NIMH and it has been on and playing for about 1 1/2 hours before the internal battery said low and shut off unit. Definitly needs the additional 3 AAA batteries for longer emergency playing time. Its better than the 5 minutes I got the first time I charged it for over 14 hours. Perhaps the internal batteries were so low to start (dead) and the internal charger low capacity that it takes a few days for them to catch. Add 1 star to my rating to make it three stars but I am still returning unit to buy a more expensive but better weather radio from Radio Shack that has better reception.
Reception on WeatherX FM and WB is still lacking. Noisy and most local stations are weak possibly due to no external antenna or place to plug in one. My other radios are fine. I like the packaging on this unit and additional features over a standard weather radio but the reception quality is unsatisfactory for me.
De fec tive.......2007-09-14
I need to return this product because it has an unreadable LCD- it charged correctly, but the readouts are unreadable.
Struck Out Twice.......2007-06-06
My son and I bought this item from JC Penney - twice. We returned it both times. Neither one worked. Okay, the blue light came on, but no radio, nothing else. We cranked and cranked and cranked and it didn't help.
We were disappointed, and I am now looking for a much, much better weather radio.
Less than pleased.......2007-03-20
Although the radio still works, the searchlight illuminated only once, the first time I turned it on. It hasn't worked again since.
The radio works while plugged in. Unplug it and come back in an hour and no more charge.
I used the hand crank, I cranked that handle for well over a minute, when I pressed the on button the radio didn't work!
This radio is worthless in an emergency.
I give it one star because this radio does work while plugged in. Plus the dial is well lit illuminating the stations in blue light.
Lacking GPX radio.......2006-11-08
Like most GPX radios this offers much and doesn't deliver. Reception is very poor at best and the lack of batteries other than the built-in and non-removable rechargeables makes no sense at all, you can't just pop in a couple of alkalines and use it. You must wait for it to charge or turn the handle. Could pose a problem when the buit-in batts stop holding a charge.
I returned mine within hours of the purchase.
