Title: Very Disappointing
Review: I purchased an Oregon Scientic WR 103 and was very disappointed with the quality of this product. It's supposed to have a feature called "non-volatile memmory back up." When the first storm that came through after purchase, I was excited to see it work. It got the NWS alert signal, turned itself on, and broadcast the alert. OK its working just fine, I thought. Then came the first nearby lightning strike. Instantly the radio lost all power and memory, including the NOAA channel and county codes. No other appliances in my home were affected. I called Oregon Scientific; customer service said that it was defective and should be replaced.Amazon did a great job handling the return and providing service. I received a replacement a few days later. I programmed the new one and used if for ten minutes. In the first ten minutes the Oregon Scientific radio lost all memory three times. I don't want to have to depend on this usit in a storm.
