2020 Solar/HandCrank Powered Emergency Radio.
When I saw the 4000mAh-Solar Hand Crank Portable AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with 1W Flashlight & Motion Sensor Reading Lamp,Cell Phone Charger, SOS Alarm for Home and Emergency・ listed on Amazon, I figured 'buy one and see what could be new. Actually, there is at least one feature I've never seen in a crank-solar charged radio before. First some info from the company: Based on RunningSnail MD-090 crank radio and customer's feedback, we've optimized and upgraded a lot of features in this MD-090P emergency weather radio. NOAA weather radio with 7 NOAA channels to get the latest weather and hazard information. The hand crank radio flashlight cell phone charger with a 4000 mAh li-ion battery, which charges more than one smartphone in the emergency. 4 Ways( Micro USB charge, Solar charge; Hand crank; Replaceable li-ion battery; ) to keep the hand crank generator on power. Flashlight radio with a super-bright 3 mode flashlight for any dark places you are in. Motion sensor reading lamp for you get up in the mid-night to avoid waking your family.
From The Giz Wiz: Although the radio has 7 NOAA radio stations it does not have NOAA Emergency Weather Alert S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) localized programming. That is available on weather radios in the higher $$ range. The feature I never saw before on one these devices is the 'auto-on LED' light. Perfect if you get in the middle of the night because the LED area light goes on & stays on until motion stops. Then it shuts after about 30 seconds. This emergency gadget got excellent reviews on Amazon as of 8/28/20. It retails for under $40.
