(More customer reviews)I purchased this radio to replace a different brand radio that we lost in a flood last summer. The radio we had before worked perfectly but didn't have some of the features this radio had. When I hooked it up everything worked well except it wouldn't receive emergency weather alerts. I sent Oregon Scientific an e-mail asking if I needed an external antenna I never received a response. A month or two later sent them another email and they finally responded and said I probably had a defective radio and to send it in and they would replace it.
I sent thea radio back as they specified and now over a month later I still haven't heard back from them nor received a functional radio. I actually tracked the shipment and have a delivery confirmation so I know they received it. I sent two more emails this week trying to follow up and nothing....
I have many other Oregon Scientific products and I respected their products and company before this experience. But I have to admit I spent three times what the Midland radio cost(really four if you include the cost of the antenna I purchased to try to get it to work since I didn't hear back from them) for what I thought was a better quality unit. What I have now is a cool radio that doesn''t work and no response from the company. Actully, I HAD a radio but I sent it back to be replaced and now I have nothing.
Disappointing.
UPDATE - Even though the radio was a dud I am sure glad I purchased it from Amazon. I contacted Amazon customer service and unlike Oregon Scientific they actually employ customer service reps who monitor and answer e-mails. Within an hour of my e-mail to them they responded and wanted me to try giving Oregon Scientific one more chance to respond. I tried and again nothing...so two days later I followed up with Amazon and within 10 minutes they responded and gave me a full refund. Great customer service!
Now I'll buy a Midland radio like I should have in the first place....
