Weather Radios

[abo4ster]

I know some others here have been interested in finding a small weather radio that is self powered. I just got the Eton FR 150 Microlink and I am pretty happy with it. All the weather bands, AM/FM ~~ works off hand crank, solar, or mini-USB charger. Shopped around and couldn't find a price much better than $30, so I used an REI member coupon. Here is a link from the ETON website.

If you know of a smaller self powered version, let us know!

I have a couple of the FR300's.. For what they cost I sort of expected them to be junk, but they are very solid radio's and the functions all work well. The one that gets used the most has been dropped several times onto a hard floor, gets cranked ALOT cause I keep forgetting to put batteries in it, and just pretty much gets abused.. Its still running like a champ, and doesnt even have a ding in it.
Im thinking about getting a couple more now, bigger and smaller than the 300's
