 Red Cross Light Weight Well Equipped Emegency Radio a "Must Carry!" It can save lives despair. January 7, 2009
After nearly forty-five years in security emergency services as both vocation avocation having lived in the Midwest ("Tornado Ally") for seven years listening to NOAA Weather Radio Alerts on less than perfect portable radios---I purchased two [American Red Cross FR 150 Emergency Radios] from Amazon, sight unseen. Amazingly they work REALLY well! One was a present to my grandson who has traveled all over the country (soon around the world) into some very rough tricky weather conditions, including tornadoes, hurricane-force winds rain, floods, earthquakes other natural disasters as a professional Supercross Motorcycle Team Mechanic. It seems to be the ideal gift to save him from some dangerous situations give him a heads-up to steer his team mates around the danger zones, on very short notice! So far, so good.br / This is the first time I have seen ANY combination of all the ingredients / elements necessary to handle a disaster in one tiny, weatherproof, lightweight unit such as the FR 150; along with AM FM Broadcast Band, solar wind-up power generating capabilities a powerful flashlight, with an easy rubberized grip! Very impressive surprisingly inexpensive! I carry mine on every trip keep it handy by the bed at night. Thanks Amazon. Curtis Patrick, Henderson, NV 89052br /
Red Cross Solar Flashlight/Radio January 6, 2009
Ever go to grab a flashlight only to find the battery is dead? They all are in my house, except for this little unit that's kept on the window sill to keep it charged. Handy and always ready to go.
Nice radio January 5, 2009

Overall this is a very good product that does what it's designed to do, the crank is easy to turn and the flashlight is bright, I wish I had it when the power failed in the hotel in Aruba last year. The radio receives AM/FM and Weather stations well, but I am in a major metropolitan area how it performs in a rural area I can't say. The only negative I can find is a lack of information on the output of the "cell phone charger" and how to get jacks to adapt to it.
Come on Windstorm Im ready now December 30, 2008
This is perfect to put away for that emergency. It is well built and functions as described. It is a very small package.
Amazing small size, great for all-time carrying December 18, 2008

I *highly* recommend this radio for anyone who does not currently have a hand crank radio in their home or car. It has worked extremely well for me, and it doesn't require batteries! It will ALWAYS work.br /br /It has a solar powered top, so if it's daylight you can charge it without even touching it. It also has the hand crank, so if it is pitch black you can still turn it for a minute or two and get live radio to find out what is going on.br /br /It is so compact! I keep this in my glove compartment of my car. If I'm home and there's a problem, I can just run out to my car and get it. If I'm driving and there's a problem, I have it right with me. br /br /It has a nice built in flashlight, so it provides light AND information all at once. It gets not only AM and FM but also 7 weather bands. I didn't have any problem tuning in a huge variety of radio stations.br /br /This thing is SMALL. It's about the size of most MP3 players! Perfect for bringing along with you on a hike, on a walk, you name it. It can always be with you and you know it will always work. Like I said, just having it in the glove compartment means you're always prepared with a functional flashlight and radio.br /br /Highly, highly recommended. Every home should have a hand crank light / radio in it, just in case.
