I have a Midland WR-300, and while I believe it is a great radio among its peers it is quite a Charlie Foxtrot when it comes to configuration/use. It seems like it was enginered to an alarm clock/weather radio which turned out to be mediocre at both, and then got rushed to market.

I'll be monitoring this thread for progress on the Doug Ritter WR1* until it is available for purchase.

On a serious note; is there a WR out there that will output alert events to a computer via USB? If such a thing exists, it would be no effort at all to filter/customize the information delivery through a PC.
