Per the website, www.midlandusa.com a tornado warning is one of several alerts that cannot be disabled.

Yes, it has tornado warning. However, it doesn't show up in the "edit events" list because it is one of 25 alerts that cannot be disabled. Here is the complete list of alerts: https://midlandusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Editable-Events.pdf

I'm sure I've seen thunderstorm warnings on our radio, but cannot recall about tornado. I would certainly think it would give a tornado warning. That's one reason I purchased ours.

I noticed the same thing on mine...everything but tornado warning. Have you investigated that further or had a warning actually come up on your alerts?

Ours routinely showed a '0' 10 months after using it began beeping and warning with "ERR" message. After changing batteries,fiddling with, doing online research, and even called our local fire department (non-emergency number), we determined it was irreparably broken.I went to the nearest kmart and bought a First Alert (at 10 pm), because I was nervous we might have had a CO problem.We didn't. I would not recommend this model.

I have not used it during a storm yet as I received it after the rainy season, that being said, when one turns the unit on it does display Miles and km in the distance area of the display, the instructions do not list any setting to display one over the other so my guess is it displays both. The manufacturers web site may have a area to seek an answer from their experts as they seem to be a very good company, I called them with a question and the technician was very helpful to me with another product of theirs I own.

This is a great radio, but it does not serve as a weather alert radio where you can program in your county or region to receive alerts when severe weather is in the area. As with most radios, you have to manually dial in the AM or FM stations you want to hear. We've used this radio while taking cover from a tornado in our underground storm shelter, and it worked great!

The new version of this device has a "RealTime" option that is supposed to give a readout of current altitude. This wasn't an option on the older versions. I've only used mine for model rockets, so I don't know how well the RealTime setting works, but the functionality should be there. FWIW, I really like this little device.

You are welcome!If you clicked on the photo and it opened the feed in a new window - that is a live feed. It will have "TenM3 live" marked on the upper left.Today was a calm day - not much breeze. Please try tomorrow morning or during the day. It is supposed to be more windy and in the live feed you'll see the tree swaying.

I've owned a WR-100 since July 2010. It just died on me. Death for these is a high pitched squeal on all channels. Google it, and you'll find many others asking what that squeal on all channels means. It means your weather radio needs to be replaced.

There is no audible alarm. I tested it in a small puddle of water. It only communicates through the Z wave/(Nexia App or web site) and sends you an alert if you have selected the alert function.

How many months you got? My experience with this device is unhappy and I am still waiting for the alarm to go off. I trusted this thing and it read 2 degrees below zero all week, come saturday I went shopping and got some frozen food, went to put it in freezer and it was like a sauna in there...been that way all week. I went and checked the readout on the monitor and it still insisted that my freezer was 2 below zero. I junked the freezer and am stuck with the monitor.

Don't know really. Not sure why it should have anything to do with a radar detection device. It is a communication device one uses to communicate with other skiiers/snowboarders on the slopes using a similar device.

I don't think there is a "life time" for dependable alert notices. As long as it's up and running, it should give you reliable alerts. Ours just stopped working after one season (two separate radios). We'd plug it back in in spring and it wouldn't function...no lights, no alerts, nothing. Doesn't make sense. But I continue to buy these because they offer a great peace of mind during storm season, even if I have to replace it every season.

If you slide the <weather> switch from "on" (red) to off, the WX radio will no longer be in standby mode and therefore will not monitor for or sound any transmitted alerts (this defeats the whole purpose of having a WX alert radio, doesn't it?). Instead, use the "defeat siren" feature to silence all but the most essential alerts. Also, set the alert feature to "voice" mode so that the siren and radio shut themselves off in short time whenever an alert IS issued.

Nope - that still doesn't work. I turned PBC off, because yes it was on previously, and I still don't have the ability to skip the FBI warnings etc. I'm assuming you should be able to just fast forward when the FBI warnings appear, correct?

Amazon sells a companion external antenna (Sangean ANT-100), but perhaps the reason the alerts are not sounding is that you haven't activated the weather broadcast: after selecting the appropriate Weather band Channel for your area, you must switch the Weather Alert ON/OFF button underneath the screen to the ON position. Then on the upper right-hand corner of the LCD Display (screen) you will see WX plus the channel number. Hence, if your channel is 7, you will see WX7. (The manual is poorly written and doesn't make this step clear.)

Hi, I have not put it out yet. I am waiting for the snow to melt. Then I tend to mount it to a post and monitor it with a trail camera.
