The CL-100 is a Public Alert Certified weather radio and receives all NOAA reports informing people about severe weather advisories, monitors and warning conditions, civil emergencies, hazards, and evacuation details, so you can have more time to react before dangerous storms hit your area. When you're in a tornado path, seconds can mean the difference between life and death and that's when the Sangean CL-100 comes into play.
LCD Scrolling Display
The CL-100 has a graphic LCM (128 x 64 pixels) LCD module with excellent display quality and a wide viewing angle. It can scroll S.A.M.E. event information across the LCD display. In addition, the CL-100 has dimmer and contrast control adjustment for viewing the display in the dark.
Digital Signal Processing with 5 Station Presets
It adopts a digital signal processing (DSP) chip and features up to 5 station presets for each AM/FM band. Using the preset buttons saves you time when searching for your favorites. The CL-100 has an auto-station-search function. It scans all available radio frequencies and finds the strongest AM/FM signal. It's equipped with RBDS capabilities, which means the signal is decoded by an RBDS receiver and can provides a range of informational features including Program Service (PS) name, Radio Text (RT) message, Clock Time (CT) and Date.
Dual Alarm and Auto Shutoff Features
The CL-100 is a perfect bedside alarm clock. You can set dual alarm times and choose waking to AM/FM radio or HWS (Human Wake-up System) buzzer alarms. There's also a snooze button. In addition, the sleep timer can be set from 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, to 120 minutes. The radio can be turned off automatically, so you can fall asleep to the music and then later gently awaken you with the news, music or alarm....the bass and treble can be adjusted as well to get the crisp crystal clear audio sound.
Store up to 25 County Codes
Finding the S.A.M.E. county codes on NOAA's web-site is easy and you can simply program them into the CL-100 and store up to 25 county codes and easily program them to sound alerts for surrounding counties as well your area's weather forecast. You can also retain the latest 20 event message memories.
Connect External Sources Such As CD and MP3 Players
A 3.5mm stereo Auxiliary Input socket is provided on the rear of the CL-100 to allow an audio signal to be fed into the unit from an external audio device such as MP3 or CD player.
The CL-100 has a built-in external alert output jack for other accessories (e.g. hearing/visually impaired, flashing light, in/outdoor siren/alarm). You can also set the date, weekday and time on a digital watch manually or automatically by RBDS CT set.
Two Ways to Use Your Antenna
The CL-100 can function with either fixed/embedded antennas for great reception of AM/FM/Weather from all directions, or you may purchase the optional ANT-100 magnetic spiral antenna to zero in on distant or weak stations in remote areas. Feeling safe is nothing like owning a Sangean CL-100, knowing that you can wake up when danger is approaching.

This is the best NOAA weather radio I've ever seen! I bought it to replace another weather radio that scared us to death whenever a weather alert was broadcast. What's nice about this Sangean weather radio is that when a weather alert is broadcast, it gradually increases the sound of the alarm so that it doesn't scare you. It is also easy to operate, has lots of features, and has no issues picking up stations. It works well and is a great value for the money!

Para México, Solo Alarma Sísmica (cdmx). Al Menos Que No Lo Haya Programado Correctamente .Esto Por Comprobar Hasta Qué Haya Un Temblor Qué Active La Alerta Sísmica. Por Referencia Que Tengo Con Otros Equipos No Dudo Que Funcione Tal Como Se Esperá.

This radio is such a great addition for me. Its east to use, easy to program for SAME alerts. The CL 100 has very useful presets for AM and FM. If your a late night AM surfer, well the AM receiver is very good. During severe weather this thing will wake you up. Also 2 useful alarms which you can program to certain days of the week.

Este Radio Sangean tiene excelentes prestaciones, tiene AM, FM incluye RBDS ( datos que te indican el nombre de la canción y/o artista, entre otras cosas, ojo, siempre y cuando la radiodifusora lo tenga instalado) además incluye recepción de la señal de clima, a través de la cual en la Ciudad de México nos envían la Alerta Sísmica. Tiene Reloj despertador, con dos alarmas, las alarmas pueden ser un sonido de alarma o despertarte con el radio, tiene 10 memorias para que guardes tus estaciones preferidas y mantiene tu configuración y/o preferencias usando 4 pilas "AA". La calidad de audio y recepción es muy buena, incluso para el clima, además tiene la opción de controlar tonos bajos y agudos para un mejor sonido. En fin es un excelente radio, muy estético y de calidad, 100% recomendable.

After spending apx 8000 on radio and 1500 on Antenna I am not getting proper indoor signal coverage . Nothing special in sound quality....its ok ok. Battery consumption is also high. No special sound effects. Valume is also low. Better go for Some 3 in 1 option of good brands like Sony or Philips which is cost effective also. Overall I m not satisfied with quality compare to cost

I gave this radio four stars because it does have a few weak points, but overall it is a really nice little unit that should provide good alerts for weather emergencies as well as serving as a bedside clock radio.I've only had it for a day, so far, but it was a very easy setup, really didn't need the manual to get everything working, alerts, volume and so on. This is my second Sangean product and I was leery of it after the first radio, a multiband AM/FM/SSB portable that failed after a year of very light use, but I took the plunge based on reviews. Apparently, this is one has upgraded firmware and allows control of the siren volume which there were some complaints about. I bought this to replace an old Radio Shack weather radio I bought back in the 70's. It kept us up all night with warnings one night last week when there were tornado and thunderstorm warnings in the area. This one allows S.A.M.E. as well as controlling which alerts trigger the radio so we can get some sleep. We don't need to know about maritime problems in the Chesapeake Bay or off shore of New Jersey.AM and FM sensitivity and AM image rejection are good for such a small radio. There is an AM station near me, 20KW a mile away, that can desense and produce images on a lot of other radios that I've owned, but this one does fine. Sensitivity on the weather band, VHF, seems more than adequate as well. Tone, and the ability to adjust bass and treble, is very good. The wall wart kind of bothers me, but that seems to be the way things get done today. It is a little slow to respond when turned on but I guess that is the chip set initializing.I do have a few complaints, or recommendations for Sangean with this radio, though.1 - The display should have an auto dimming feature, most things do today.2 - The display should be mounted on a pivot or swivel. I can't see the display when laying in bed due to the shallow angles involved. Given that LCD displays like this use a ribbon cable for connection it shouldn't be much of a problem, electrically or mechanically.3 - There should be back lighting for all of the buttons for night time use. This is an "emergency" radio and, with no power/lights, that seems to be a no brainer.4 - When are things going to accept lithium ion rechargeable batteries? AA cells are OK, but if this thing took a pair of 18650 lithium ion rechargeables it would be far more dependable and run a heck of a lot longer on battery.5 - I've had zero luck using RDS signals to control the clock in spite of trying multiple stations so I set the time/date manually.(my only real complaint)6 - Put on a real antenna connector, BNC, F, SO-239, instead of the questionable RCA phono connector for the VHF, weather band, external antenna connection.

I've purchased both, the Midland WR-300 & Sangean CL-100, and have posted a lengthy review on the Midland WR-300 Amazon.com product page titled "Midland WR-300 vs Sangean CL-100"Pros:1) Navigation of the menu is much easier then the Midland2) Display has a cool white light vs. the blinding Midland indigo blue light3) Speaker is slightly larger providing better audio quality4) Fade-in audio (Can't be disabled, but really nice for alarms)5) Buttons have a felt touch rubber feel vs. the Midlands plastic buttons6) Better and more individual ports for both AM/FM frequency bands7) Automatic set/update of Date/Time using RDS/RBDS FM radio broadcasting feature.8) I prefer using the Sangean's digital buttons for volume vs. the on/off volume knob of the Midland. But the Midlands knob is more intuitive for us old-timers, while the Sangean's Standby button isn't initially noticeable as the radio on/off button. The old volume knobs also corrode after a year or so, especially nearer to salt water coastline areas.9) On both AC and battery power outage, only the Date/Time are lost. All other settings are saved to memory not requiring power.10) The siren test feature tests all three types of alerts.Cons:1) Small display. Good for portable, but not for table top usage.2) RDS/RBDS Date/Time automatic setting/update for the Fairbanks area doesn't seem to work.3) Boxy look, but doesn't seem to hinder audio quality at all and it's colors are more conservatively chosen.4) Minor non-intuitive button and new to old-timers, the red button with a "O" and slash means radio on/off and is titled the "Standby button".5) Minor non-intuitive button, the CT button is the Clock Time synchronize button. (Clock/CT flashes on power loss to state clock synchronization via RDS/RBDS is being attempted.)Bottom line:It's almost a complete toss-up between the Midland WR-300 and Sangean CL-100 as both have even pros and cons. The display is bigger and angled better on the Midland while the Sangean provides better display lighting versus the ugly blinding indigo blue of the Midland. I think I'm just going to buy one of each for my parents and let them decide which they will primarily use. FYI: Currently as of April 25 2012, these are the only two table top weather radios incorporating SAME and with customized defeat/silent alerts. I seem to like both and have a more expensive portable shortwave capable radio for AM/FM usage.No need to worry about the previously mentioned review stating their software version not having a fix for defeat/silence alarm feature. This model I purchased on approx. April 20, 2012 has the fixed version "v1.13 OCT-08-2010".2012.12.06 - Yup, sent the Midland to the parents and kept this one. Seems to function alright, but the alerts are not used within the Alaska area all that much. As such, it's probably best to keep a scanner handy. However, since some idiots within the State government think encryption is God and kiddies stealing candy have a right to privacy, civilians with scanners won't know when danger is lurking, allowing danger or hazards to likely win over people. There's a time and place for everything, and not allowing civilians to be informed or make informed decisions, probably is not wise.
