American Red Cross FR150 Microlink Solar-Powered, Self-Powered AM/FM/Weatherband Portable Radio with Flashlight and Cell Phone Charger (Red)

This is a nice radio and works pretty well but lacks the one basic function it was purchased for. It has no alert function to turn on and broadcast emergency warnings! So it is a mistake to call this an "emergency radio" even if it is endorsed by the American Red Cross.

I'm amazed. Works wonderful. I cranked it 5 hours ago and it is still working. I cranked it for 30 seconds. Now my whole family wants one. I got the red one, it's beautiful!!!!!

Wanted a light, packable radio for hiking over multiple nights (mostly for weather)...clear sound, solar charge works well, tuner not overly sensitive, hand crank not to flimsy either. As advertised.

Great functionality, flashlight is bright, sound and reception are good, handcrank comfortable, worked right out of the box. The handcrank folds down along the back, which is nice. The flashlight turns on using a handy button on the top. The red is slightly metallic so this looks a lot more stylish than I thought it would - bonus!

Rubber-covered inputs on the side are a headphone jack, a mini-usb port and a mysterious one with a picture of a cellphone. I realize you can send in a card to get a plug that fits your cellphone (though I doubt they can accomodate an iphone) and presumably that cable fits there, but there was also an unexplained short cable that came in the box that I could not tell you what it was for.

Smaller than I expected. You can fill out a form and provide them with your cell phone model and they'll mail you the correct charger adapter. I haven't had to wind it once, the solar panel doesn't need direct sunlight, in the shade it works great! $30 is a steal!
