[TimeKeeper]

Can't find the $9.88 model, but got 3 of this "lower class" model for $4.88
All I have is ther serial number: 07348111602.

This one got AM/FM and Emergency Automatic brocasting. (might scare the crap out of you while you are sleeping)

Also by orgon Scientific model WR196T

This model and all of the other models are covered extensively in the original OD Weather Radio thread:

OD Weather Radio/Clock/Al Gore Thread

 

[TimeKeeper]

sorry for the "repost", I didn't get the chance to read 90+ of reply from that original treads..

 

[maxcom]

thanks for the post Timekeeper ! ( I didn't either

 

[Ranger X]

Does this just pick up weather reports 24/7?

 

[TimeKeeper]

I think this one only brocast, if there is emergency at "standby" and "auto" mode...

(where I live, never really encounter any disaster..)
Just say FM/AM radio works quite nicely.

 

[Atrac]

No problem, TimeKeeper. I actually didn't mean it to sound like a flame...although I guess it did.

This unit has 7 different channels and when you get the one that comes in strongest it broadcasts 24/7 with a computer synthesized voice. It also has a day/date/time with alarm and the LCD light for night readouts and a temperature readout of the ambient temp. Good deal at 4.88. The website says the MSRP was 69.95.

Oh yeah, also has a compass so you can find your way home.

Can't u buy this stuff off their WebPage???

 

[Zwingle]

Yes....but not as cheap as OD sold them....even if you buy from another anandtecher and pay shipping, it is still way cheaper.

 

[Relayer]

I couldn't find this stuff on thier web site.

I have a new WR8000 Oregon Scientific Weather radio (the yellow portable model) that I would to trade for the Moonphase gizmo (BA928) or the Weather clock gizmo ( BAR-888). Anybody interested. Thanks

I went to my local OD last night, and they had 3 of the WR8000's in stock. They don't look like such a hot deal for $4.88. The original price tag says they were $9.99 before.

 

[Relayer]

They were $69.99 before.

 

[K-squared]

Relayer - do you still have any of the WR8000's or WR196's?

 

[dgoedken]

I missed out

 

[Raistlix]

Mine just went off with an alert that did scare the crap out of me!:Q

It's just a flood warning for the area (very cool feature) but it went off with a loud buzz like the emergency broadcast system tests that you hear on the radio periodically.
I was able to get the cattle to higher ground just in time!

Found the last one (no box/manual) at the Champaign, IL store. Gave accurate weather reports while I was driving back to Chicago. Nice item to have when you're on the road or camping.

 

[jsmckenna45431]

Not bad, not bad at all. Thanks.

 

[fallenoncrack]

nothing wrong with reposts!

 

[unclebud]

found one of the silver-squared ones under a pile of lukewarm clearance after an hour of digging. guys, don't give up!
the manager cracked me up when i gave him this list of numbers and he couldn't find any of the other stuff i selected(on the list), he was panicking and apologetic
