Good portable weather radio for the money April 3, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Pros:
Battery operated.
Can use hand crank if battery fails
Also is a conventional radio
Has a built-in flash light.
Will charge your cell phone. Card enclosed to receive the correct adapter.
CON: It odes not have the ability to limit warnings to a specific county like the some of the Midland units. The warning alarm in the middle of the night for areas not close-by can be a real nuisance.

Thirty bucks shipped? Sold. It does exactly what they said it would. We have a fair amount of power outages due to older large trees in our neighborhood.

 Lousy radio March 26, 2008

I got this Radio and tried it for a few days just to reveal that it's working only on AM in good clarity. FM was noisy and a lot of static no matter how I pointed the antenna. The TV stations hardly picked up and when it did it was only standing close to a window. The rest of the features i.e the flashlight and other non-radio worked fine. I could not bring it to the Weather mode even though we had a few very stormy days in the area. The radio remained silent with no alert.
All in all' it's not a bargain and it's not worth the price, not even after the discount. The only good thing in this radio - assuming it would have worked properly - is the cranking of the battery in case you're running out of electricity and batteries.
 Basically works as advertised March 26, 2008

This radio basically works as advertised. The description said there was a fine tuning control embedded in the tuning knob but I haven't seen it. I can't get any TV audio but then over the air TV is difficult to get where I live in any case. I am able to tune in the AM and FM stations that I listen to, which are not particularly strong signals and are a bit tricky to get on my other radios so it's good enough. When you charge the battery by cranking for 90 seconds the charge doesn't seem to last for a particularly long time.
