Product Information

Emergency radios are generally designed to cover the standard AM and FM broadcasting bands, and weather radio in countries that provide that service. The Eton American Red Cross FRX3 is probably the most recognizable weather radio, due in no small part to the fact that it’s recommended and sold by the American Red Cross.

Additional features to help people prepare for power outages include hand cranks, solar panels, flashlights, and SOS signaling that could be vital in disastrous situations. ER300 is a powerful powerbank capable of recharging portable devices and an emergency device equipped with an AM / FM receiver, designed for emergency situations, disasters and safety in which keeping in touch is essential.With the same-looking solar panel as the Sidekick, the FRX3+ also didn’t generate a charge very quickly, but unlike the Sidekick, the charge was enough for the intended job of this being just a radio to alert you during severe weather. He also has more than 15 years of professional audio experience, ranging from theatrical sound design to live concert mixing to studio engineering, which helped inform his approach to radio reception and sound alerts for this guide. The ER310 is loud and easy to hear whether you’re listening to music at your campsite or getting the latest NOAA report.

I left it outside before charging it otherwise, and it was quickly charged with the help of the sun. Because severe weather situations can develop extremely quickly, it’s imperative you give yourself as much time as possible to prepare.A lighted digital LCD display and presets let you dial in your preferred stations quickly and accurately, and the auto-scan feature finds the clearest stations for you.

Like our other picks, it’s reliably resistant against tumbles and water, and it offers USB charging and a headphone jack, as well. Extreme weather events are becoming more and more frequent, and relying on your phone for updates won’t work if it’s offline or out of battery power. Emergency radios are designed to provide accurate and up-to-date weather information and alerts using the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) network of radio stations, while your typical transistor radio will only receive AM/FM stations.Weather band radios have their uses if you’re expecting poor weather, but weather alert radios are more generally useful since situations can change quickly. Combined with the aforementioned speaker quality and Bluetooth, these lighting options make the Sidekick a much better entertainment center than other weather radios, one that also provides you with those improved SAME alerts. If you fail to turn on the radio before a minute goes by, the weather memory indicator flashes every five seconds to let you know that an alert has been issued, and it continues to do so until you press any button to turn the notice off. Each emergency radio has different capabilities and standards, so there were some variances with each device. Even if the ER210 doesn’t contain a dog whistle for that extra level of shrill emergency sound, it has enough features to keep you engaged and learning.
