Review on Eton FR300 Emergency Crank Radio Black - Discontinued Model: Unparalleled Reliability in Crisis by Jaime Benenati

Good reception on all bands, easy handling and good charging with the handle. (Maybe an hour or more of radio listening in a minute or two, or scrolling.) As mentioned, no power adapter is supplied, and a branded adapter isn't that easy to find. You can just go to Radio Shack and buy a compatible adapter there for a few dollars. As for me, I don't know why you need it. I mean that it starts and also runs on AA batteries; and it's more like a little radio companion. I prefer to turn it on every now and then when I want to use it. The sound of the small speaker is quite good. The only real problem is that it doesn't charge all phones, and it doesn't really charge every phone out of the box. You need a separate adapter which may or may not be available for your phone. Even so, you only have about a minute of talk time due to the many twists. I am very happy with the radio for its price.
