Ohpattigee for Portable AV

I've bought many custom kinetic emergency radios and flashlights for under $70 but mostly $20-$50. I think everyone should limit their battery purchases and buy energy saving products that are safe and ideal for emergencies. It is very difficult to find such products that provide all of this at a reasonable price. WAY BETTER than anything else in its $30 price range from Revain. Today I leave it by my sunny window in Ohio to listen to the radio. I just noticed that he plays with solar energy all day long! I've tried a flashlight and while it's not a very bright LED bulb, it's not very dim. I can go into my dark basement and read the water meter. Like other emergency radios, I take them out and turn them over to see if they work well. OF COURSE THEY SHOULD ALWAYS BE TURNED OFF WHEN NOT USING A Dynamo without turning off the radio/flashlight. The crank action feels really solid, not flimsy like others I've come across. American Red Cross FR150 Microlink Portable Solar Powered AM/FM/Weatherband Radio with Self Powering, Flashlight and Cell Phone Charger (White) or Similar. I used to give up but now I understand that finding the weather forecast takes practice and patience. That's all. If you are looking for an emergency or entry level solar product at a small moderate price I would recommend this FR150.
