An emergency radio small enough for a backpack,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Reminder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], June 30th is the last chance to play the What The Heck Is It? Game. (Click the What The Heck Is It link on the right under popular content.)
It the Microlink FR 160 from Eton. (Some models are branded Cross This emergency radio can be powered by the built-in rechargeable battery pack,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], solar power (also built in) or an AC adapter/charger,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is not included. And of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can charge the battery pack with the built in cranking handle. Turn the crank for about 90 seconds will result in 30 to 40 minutes of low volume play. Outdoors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], place the unit directly in sunlight and the solar panel on the top of the unit charges the internal battery automatically. About 8-10 hours in the sun will allow about 3-5 hours of radio play. A green LED glows to indicate when the internal battery is being charged. But wait,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's more! You can also use this gizmo to charge your cell phone. (There's a the built in USB plug!) Because cell phone batteries vary in their current ratings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Eton cannot specify charging rates or usage time. But they say 10 to 15 minutes of cranking may result in 1 or more minutes of talk-time. Not the best ratio,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but in an emergency,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's better than no calls. You could give your kids this radio take away their cell phone AC charger. Having them have to "crank to call" will give them great exercise and cut down on the minutes they use a lot! In addition to AM and FM,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there 7 weather band channels. There also a 3 LED flashlight for emergencies at night. About $30. The Red Cross version tends to sell for more.
