Review on πŸ“» Grundig FR200 Emergency Radio: Limited Edition Discontinued by Manufacturer - Hard to Find Deal! by David Bowens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good addition to your emergency kit

This is a small, lightweight handheld radio (with flashlight). It's plastic, but it's relatively durable for something plastic. A few minutes after starting you can listen to the radio without battery. The flashlight feature is nice, but don't forget to have a "real" flashlight in your emergency kit. The radio will pick up your local AM and FM stations much like a typical cheap transistor radio. It supports a few shortwave bands, but don't expect it to pick up Johannesburg radio on a regular basis (unless you're reading this review in South Africa). It can run on batteries if you are too lazy to walk. We keep it in our emergency kit and consider it a valuable resource. However, I'm sure we'll wish we had internet instead if needed.
