I live in a very large Victorian house with bedrooms spread out. Of them all, I still like the WR196T the best. The green/red change always happens on the Oregon Scientifics, so I'm not sure what's going on with the Midlands. But so far, I have seen the same thing happen on the WR-300.

The LEDS would not light for anything other than the weekly test on the Midland 120EZ, and I returned it thinking it was defective. I tried a Midland 120EZ and now a used WR-300 version 5. You can only include or delete an entire S.A.M.E. All-Hazards Alert - in addition to important weather announcements, your radio will also receive other emergency announcement such as: Child Abduction Emergency (Amber Alert) Nuclear Power Plant Warning Biological Hazard Warning Civil Emergency Message Fire Warning Landslide W. Neither offers ability to delete or modify individual alert types. The WR608 has a rather bright and big LED that blinks bright green and then I presume switches to red for an alert (haven't had the WR608 long enough to know.) I put a piece of black tape over most of it because the light is too bright for a bedroom at night, imo. The WR196T has a skinny LED bar that flashes green but changes to red when an alert is issued. Radio off - no alerts or msgs will be received

Radio mute - no siren tone will sound but a text message (just says TORNADO or whatever) will be displayed Radio on standby but will siren and then talk until the EOM on alerts They are basic radios that can be purchased used on ebay for $20 or so shipped. I have two Oregon Scientific radios, WR196T from the early 2000s and a more recent WR608.
