  • This new WR120 model from Midland is in my opinion as close to perfection you can get with the 120 design. Featured in the video are the new sirens, new alert LED indicator behaviors, alert history menu, and channel select confirmation double beep. Enjoy!
    DISCLAIMER - This 120 was self activated via safe means. Do not self activate weather radios using arbitrary methods.

    Kinda like the higher pitched tones from the old WR120s, but this is a massive upgrade from a guy who once hated the old WR-120s. Nice job Midland, hope I can get one of these soon.

    I purchased a DSP yesterday (off the shelf from the local Ace Hardware) for an acquaintance getting ready for college. It was quiet hours in their apartment so I couldn't test the siren, but other than that, the only notable difference to me was that I couldn't find a way to turn the button beeps off (which definitely irritated the other people in the room xD). Nice that they added a setting for alert volume and allowed the LED indicators to stack. The people who dislike the pitch of the new beeps and alerts probably won't notice as much of a difference in-person as they think.

      The siren test function isn't the UA-cam first, the showcase of the different sirens is.
      The way the lights stay on based on the alert issued is really nice. Helps you know what all has been issued.

      I never was a fan of the Og and Ez WR120 and the siren on this one especially the warning siren is a joke and the button beeps sound like a WR100 kind of now I do like the fact you can adjust the warning volume though

    • @SomeGuyWithInternet
      @SomeGuyWithInternet 27 днів тому

      I had to set one up for someone yesterday without knowing that there was a new model, and barely noticed the difference on the button beeps (bear in mind that my personal WR120 is an EZ). I couldn't test the siren since I was in an apartment building at 11:00pm, but as long as it works, it doesn't really matter.

  • @SouthernWXMedia
    @SouthernWXMedia Місяць тому

    This is awesome! I’ll admit, I prefer the older sirens, but this one’s key tones sound much better. And the new functions are what the WR120 always needed. I think I’ll be recommending this radio to people now!

    Why does the advisory tone sound like It wasn't changed.
    I wish they kept the alarms the same because changing the alarm rates and pitches weren't necessary.
    One thing I like about it is the alert volume!
    I might get a DSP in the future because I want to stick with my WR-120EZs for now.
    I also have an og WR120 at my other house.
