Pros: Normal AM/FM radio signals, Weather Channel, TV Sound, cell phone charger.
Cons: Looks breakable if dropped by accident.
The Bottom Line: This is a great inexpensive emergency radio. You will pay a little more ($50.00) but it's worth it.

, but actually go it ...
Pros: A COMPACT DEVICE WITH SEVERAL EMERGENCY FEATURES THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE BATTERIES.
Cons: TV RECEPTION MAY BE WEAK AND NOT ALL CELL PHONES SUPPORTED.
The Bottom Line: The Eton FR-300 is a very useful addition to anyones hurricanes supplies providing the communication link your family needs along with other necessary features during the hurricane season.
Review: Since I live in South Louisiana I have to deal with the dangers of hurricanes every year. For the last 30 hurricane seasons my wife and I have evacuated several times to shelters and motels, been without power quite a few times and have had damage a ...
Pros: Great features, good value overall, good reception (except for TV bands).
Cons: Poor TV band reception in many locations, appears to be underdesigned add-on.
The Bottom Line: Consider other Grundig models. Shortwave will be better in emergency than a poorly-performing TV band. The 300 may still be the better choice due to the NOAA coverage.
Review: I've had the radio less than 24 hours, and I like all of the features I've tried and the reception, except for TV audio operation. As an east-coast FL resident, I researched & bought it for my hurricane emergency kit. I like it overall, but the design ...
Pros: Good features. Emergency Generator, Lights, Good weather band.
Cons: Very poor station selectivity. Two knobs stick out too much, could easily be broken off.
The Bottom Line: Only recommended for rural areas. Selectivity is too poor for city reception. TV Bands will become useless in February 2009. Buy the Grundig FR200 and a good weather radio.
Review: I bought this radio because of frequency bands covered & the internal generator. It seemed to be a good radio for the stormy season and other emergency times when we are out of power. I have been an amateur radio operator for over 30 years and am a good ...
