Has anyone tried this with different brands of weather radios?

I haven't but if the radio has a strobe light output I would think it would work.

It works with mine, which is an "FC NOAA Weather Radio WR200" -- from LLBEAN. Couldn't find any better identification of the manufacturer.

It does. But it has a very sensitive tuning dial. And as with most shortwave the time of day and weather conditions make a big difference in what you can tune in. Bought it for my don to use for Boy Scouts Radio Merit Badge.

No it will not without an adaptor...this antenna has an RCA Plug on it...that's the way it comes...works perfectly with Midland weather radios...

The radio has a setting that allows it to automatically switch to the NOAA weather radio in the event of a weather alert regardless of what FRS or GMRS channel you are on. However, this radio will not re-broadcast the alert onto FRS or GMRS, it will only play the message over your own radio's speaker.

My radio is wonderful and after seeing the larger picture I believe it is the same model. We live in the mountains, rather remote. Our great Wave Radio just didn't pick up stations like this CCRadio does. We use it every day.

well....sort of. i believe the wx part of your radio is for receiving of weather information...and in this case any antenna should be fine. the cb part of your radio will in fact love the 1000. i cant imagine that there is a separate connection for the weather band antenna...so...hook er up and get to talking.

This model does not use the S.A.M.E. codes that limit the warnings to your specific county/city. But the radio signal sent by NOAA is not very strong and generally travels about 40 miles so your warnings are usually relevant. The best weather radio with S.A.M.E. is the WR 300 which allows you to not only use S.A.M.E. but you can filter out which warnings or watches are reported. The HH50 is a very good reliable portable but it does not limit which warnings you receive.

Yes, I works just fine. It works just fine on my vehicle and on my metal roof of my Radio shack. Magnetic mount is very strong. I also use a "lil wilson" that works just fine. I use a dipole antenna inverted V for my Uniden 980SSB radio that works fantastic. Goes way beyond the legal 150 limit for CB. I have picked up to Porto Rico, South America, Northern Alaska and etc. The unit I like the most is a 2meter amature radio and I pick up skips as far as Russia, Sweden and etc., and that is on a 2 meter radio.

The NOAA receiver works fine. It can monitor the NOAA channels even when set on 2-way channels, and will make an alert tone indicating a weather alert. For an emergency kit, though, you might want to consider the Midland XT511 Basecamp radio, either instead of or in addition to these small units. The Basecamp has the same 2-way radio channels (only 1 - 22, though), the same NOAA channels, etc., but it also has a built-in flashlight and flashing beacon, and it can be powered by either a Ni-MH rechargeable battery or 4 alkaline batteries (there are separate slots for both), and it comes with both AC and DC battery chargers or it can be recharged with the built-in hand crank generator. It's also an AM/FM radio receiver.

Can't confirm but it has worked on any radios that have the same plug design.

It has a weather band switch, although I have never been able to tune in anything. Although, I have only attempted to use it indoors and the FM and AM work fine. Not sure if NOAA is separate from the weather band.

I couldn't compare the two radios but try a long wire antenna off the Kaito. Also be aware that shortwave reception depends on the bands and what time of day it is. Higher bands are better for the daytime also the lower bands are better for the night. There are several good websites that list broadcast information for shortwave.

This radio will not stay charged, even with new batteries. The weather channel will give you alerts only if turned on. Not sure about handle, just gave the thing away at a garage sale. Ugh

Mine is working very well with NOAA frequencies on my Jeep Wrangler. For receiving antennas, the exact length (as related to the SWR) is usually not very important as long as it's not extremely 'out of range.' Of course for transmitting antennas the SWR is VERY important and an imprope match can quickly burn-out your transmitter. This basic principle is why the same antenna can work well on CB frequencies (with the proper SWR match) and also work well on the considerably different NOAA frequencies.

I use my BESTEK adapter to power my radar detector, iPhone, and car phone device. I generally listen to XM radio, but I have experienced NO interference with either XM or FM the few times I have listened to it. I haven't listened to AM in probably 30 years, so I can be of no help there.

It did for me.. I use mine as my primary Radio... No issues.. Good range, clear reception....
