I have both the yellow portable Midland weather radio and the silver portable Oregon Scientific weather radio and I MUCH prefer the Oregon Scientific one. I've used it for at least two years now and I've found it reliable and easy to remember how to program it. The midland requires me to open up the manual everytime I want to work with it - I hate that.
I agree. I've had my midland for several years, and I have trouble remembering how to use it every year when I go camping. And I'm no slouch technically. The worst was when the temperature dipped below 32 degrees and it started going berserk. Geeze, I know it's cold, you don't have to wake me up to tell me that. The "freeze alarm" wasn't even in the manual, I had to look it up online. And it was something like up-down-up-down-left-right-A-B-A-B to turn it off.
I'll have to see if I can get the Oregon Scientific within a week, before my next trip.
