If it was made by "Midland" - it appears he did. Posted quite a few
questions in here of its operation.

I stand corrected, I just looked up the post that I had exchanged with him.
It is the Midland 74-250.

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!
