Another thing I have been thinking about - cell phone chargers!
So far, I have gotten extra batteries for the cell phones as well as the ETON Radios. I have one I got at Radio Shack for $49.00 that is a crank radio and has usb ports.
Amazing little radio. Really great piece of equipment for $49.00.
I swear by the Eton radios.
For the money, they simply cannot be beat. I like the cheaper ones, they allow for redunduncy. $100 buys 3 radios with chargers.
I have one of those Eton radios. It has a hand crank and can run for a few minutes if you’re willing to crank it.
It also has a solar charger on it!
Plus, it takes regular batteries.
The only problem I found is that it seems I can’t turn it all the way to “off”. If I turn it to the “off” position, there is still some kind of residual drain on the main batteries.
So I put them in and stuck a small piece of plastic over the contact, which is easily removable.
AM/FM/SW, but the SW reception is sporadic. I suppose I could open it up and hang a forty foot piece of wire on to it an do much better!
