Hand Powered 2-way and AM/FM/NOAA Radio

Dan | Jan 07, 2021

If you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, the last thing you need is to be scrambling around for batteries so that you can radio for help. You might have a solar panel, you might even have a few AA batteries floating around. But batteries don't last forever, and solar powered chargers take several hours to charge standard batteries. The emergency crank radio exploits a hand-powered dynamo to give you several hours radio use on a 2-way radio.

Hand-powered radios are not a new eco-friendly technology, although this one does come with a weather band receiver (NOAA) and of course the 2-way radio aspect. Being able to charge up the radio at any time is a great way to ensure you can get hold of someone in an emergency. Of course the radio only has 5 mile range line-of-sight, but you're not exactly looking to be in the middle of nowhere... or are you?

Could be a good way to keep in touch with the kids on a camping holiday though! (In case you can't use a mobile phone for whatever reason).
