Negative Positive
Title: Unsafe Radio
Review: I purchased this radio recently and had to return it as the weather band did not work. I received the replacement radio and found the same problem along with the fact that the flashlight did not fuction. I live close to the Weather station repeater and receive a strong signal on my other units. I rasied the antenna, shortened it, etc. ran it off the batteries, crank to no avail. It is pretty scary considering this unit has the NOAA alert built in. I have sent an email to GPX regarding this and am awaiting a reply. Honestly, I may have received a bad unit from a batch; however, I do not know how that could be. In any case, I would not recommend this radio, especially if you are depending on weather alerts or reports. Oh, yeah, the back-lit display does not work with the crank batteries, only with the 6 AA batteries you must install. Way to go GPX, another fine product...........
