Product Description
FR150 Microlink is solar-powered, self-powered AM/FM/weatherband portable radio with flashlight and cell phone charger. This ultra-portable device is ideal to have on hand when you're roughing it. It also makes a great addition to any emergency-preparedness kit. No plugs or wires are required. Instead, turn the hand crank to power the Microlink, or capture the sun's energy and run it on solar power. You'll always know what's going on, thanks to the AM, FM and weather bands. You can also tune in to the FCC and EAS public alert systems. Add the flashlight, the cell phone charger and you've got one versatile little device.

Next time I would buy something different June 22, 2008
I am not very happy with this product. I live in the Minneapolis area and can barely receive the weather station for my area. The radio does pick up FM stations clearly but the speaker is so small that the sound quality is not good. I bought this for my emergency/survival kit and it would be really nice to hear the local weather especially during a tornado or thunderstorm. Since I can't seem to hear the weather on a clear day I really doubt that it will be useful in a storm. I am still waiting for Eton to send the cell phone charger tip so, I can't comment on that aspect of this radio. It would seem to make sense, to me, if Eton would perhaps charge a little more and include the AC adapter. But no such luck. Next time I'll buy a better weather radio. I also bought one of these for my sister in storm ravaged Iowa. She has the same complaints. The flashlight is a nice option. Now I own a $30 flashlight and so does my sister.
