[Electronics-Talk] Question relating to Weather Radios

[Robin Frost]

Hi Dennis and all,

Dennis I was wondering if you had the time or inclination if perhaps 
you'd be willing to share a description of any buttons or controls on 
the Midland so I could get an idea of what it might be like from that 
perspective.

Thanks so kindly.

Take good care,

Robin
