Instead, the Eton comes on whenever it feels like it, simply to give the weather conditions. If I want simply to hear the weather, I will turn the radio on. But when I have it set on "Alert", I expect it to come on ONLY IF (IFF) there is a true alert. 58 out of 68 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
