This is the portable radio recommended by the Red Cross for emergency preparedness. It combines several emergency tools into one handheld unit, including a radio, LED flashlight, beacon, and cell phone charging port. Also ideal for camping, the digital tuner provides clear reception of AM/FM and seven NOAA weather bands (plus alerts), its flashlight uses four bright white LEDs that switch to a red beacon for easy location, and its 5V DC port can charge a cell phone (requires adapter). A digital clock with alarm keeps accurate time. It can be powered by its built-in dynamo crank (a one-minute crank provides up to 30 seconds of cell phone use), three AAA batteries (required), or its rechargeable battery, which provides up to eight hours of operation from an 8-hour charge using the included USB cable. Weather-resistant plastic body with machined aluminum handle. 6 1/2" H x 6 1/2" W x 2 1/4" D. (1 lb.)
