Re: WR-100 recieves fine with batteries but has nothing...
Check the back of the radio and make sure that the AC adapter is plugged in to an outlet that has the correct voltage for the radio to have power. Make sure that it is plugged into the DC jack securely.

Remove the plug and reconnect the coil pack to see if it has a good bright spark. If yes, do a compression test. If you are at least over 100 psi,see that your carb is clean, and not gummed up with old fuel.
Click this link- WR-100 Weather/RDS Radio Manual. I got this link from the Manual section of Midland WR-100 Weather/RDS Radio web page on this website.
im just going to radio shack and return it for the only other one they have in stock which only goes to 512mhz whics stinks but at least i will recieve something wwhich is better than nothing
The WR-100 is slightly smarter than the average basic weather radio and therefore has a fair amount of programming loaded into it's firmware. (for good or bad)
It's not impossible for a power failure or spike to cause the internal processor to become confused every once and a while.
You may need to perform a full reset.
Remove the power adapter, remove the batteries and then press and hold the "WEATHER / SNOOZE" bar to bleed off any remaining charge in the capacitors and then plug the AC adapter back in.
Install fresh or known good batteries.
You've now essentially "rebooted" your radio and hopefully it will now function correctly again.
The only drawback is that you will have to reset any custom programming. As nifty as SAME technology is, I rarely use the function.
My wr-100 came with a special note inserted with the instructions that the WR-100 was programmed to not give off an audible alert on tests. This is to supposedly protect you from thinking you have a real emergency.
Mine is new. Maybe the older ones had an audible test alert. I assume yours gave an alert at one time??
