HELLO!!!!

I got a question

Please tell me these have nothing to do with my midland?


The one that didn't receive the test signal yet?



Unless "Midland" is outsourcing their production of equipment, most likely
not. Howevrer - as I suggested to you before - "Contact" Midland. Let them
know you have issues, before your warranty, right to return - runs out.

I was in a Radio Shack store today and seen a Weather Alert Radio "similar"
to these models. It was going for like $49. Not sure if it had "all" the
features as your Midland or those listed on the recall - or who may have
made it "for" Radio Shack.

Maybe you can check them out!
