Our take on the RCA RCWR7 NOAA Emergency Weather Alert Radio

The RCA RCWR7 is a compact AM/FM radio that listens for NOAA weather alerts and sounds an alarm when a severe weather warning is issued. It runs on AC power or AAA batteries, so it keeps working when the power goes out, and it doubles as a digital alarm clock with snooze. Its main rival is the Midland WR120, which adds SAME county-specific alerts and a larger display; the RCA is smaller and simpler but less precise about which warnings apply to you. Owners like it as a cheap, no-frills backup for storms and as a bedside clock radio.
