Title: Emergency backup radio
Product review: I purchased 4 of these as safety items for our extended family. Power outages have become too common in the northeast, and response time suffers with the conglomerant power companies. The combination of radio - weather reporter - light and siren - phone charger etc. in a self-powered package, gives a feeling of security in an unsecure world. The analog dial is maneuvered by a smooth vernier tuning mechanism, and the speaker produces clear voice and music tones.. The only doubtfull feature is the cranking mechanism. I also have an original (So.African Mfg) "freeplay" radio which has a MUCH MORE STURDY crank.. Time - and careful use - will be the judge.. This radio also is available with shortwave - but local weather news seemed more important..
