Picked up a new weather radio today. I wanted one with both NOAA alerts and the more targeted SAME alerts. Looked at the reviews, shopped around and bought the SANGEAN CL 100. Nice little radio. I was really wanting something bigger, with a bigger speaker, but this is a very well built, high quality little radio and it has a big enough sound to do a good job as a bedside or kitchen radio.
The radio is very programable and you can select which emergency conditions you want to be alerted about, and then you can program how you want the alert received. It also does a very nice job of bringing in distant FM radio stations (I can receive Chicago, Kankakee, IL and also the local N.W. Indiana radio stations clearly, many of our other radios cannot get all the major Chicago stations clearly).
The radio also has DUAL alarm clocks, sleep mode, and user adjustable dimmable display so it would make a great alarm clock if you chose to use it on your nightstand.
The radio runs on either 4 AA batteries or AC power. While it does not charge the batteries, it will default to AC power when its plugged in and automatically switches to AA battery power during power failures.
So far I'm very happy with this choice.
