What channel should I set my weather radio to?
There are a few things to consider when choosing a weather radio channel. The first is the type of weather radio you have. There are three types of weather radios: standalone, tabletop, and portable.
Standalone weather radios come with a specific channel that is used for weather alerts. Tabletop weather radios allow you to choose the channel you want to listen to, while portable weather radios usually have a limited number of pre-set channels.
The second thing to consider is your location. Different areas will have different weather alerts. For example, a tornado warning would not be as important in a location that does not have tornadoes.
The third thing to consider is the tone of voice the weather alerts are delivered in. Some weather radios have a loud, blaring tone that can be startling. Other weather radios have a softer tone that is more pleasant to listen to.

How do I clear my advisory Midland weather radio?
If your Midland weather radio has been giving you advisories that you can’t clear, you may need to reset the unit. This is a simple process that can be done in a few minutes.
First, locate the reset button on the back of the weather radio. It’s a small, circular button that’s recessed into the unit. Use a pen or paperclip to push the button in, and hold it down for a few seconds.
