Inacurate Description December 26, 2008
James A. Doak (WARRIOR, AL USA)
Product description says it comes with connection tips to recharge cell phones. It does not. One other reviewer said you have to call Eton to get such. After Christmas, I'll give that a whirl and see what happens. Otherwise, it's a good radio and the cammo version is much less expensive than the others though I'm not sure why. Maybe the cell phone tips????

A ""Must Pack "Radio November 25, 2008
G. Stafford (Charleston, SC)
This is radio that is for your "Must Pack" list whenever you travel. Quality is excellent with solid sound reception for AM, FM and Weather. No need to worry about power if you end up in the wilderness. Just turn the crank and you're back in touch with the world. Just ordered one as Christmas gift for my outdoor-obsessed son in law. It'll be a fixture on his boat and in his golf bag, I am certain. He has to stay in touch with what's happening and this this will make that happen for him.
 Can't pick up stations November 22, 2008
lux (Los Angeles, CA)
It has wonderful features, but I was unable to pick up my two local NPR stations! We tried and tried, and though we are not more than five miles from one of our local stations, there was absolutely no reception. Perhaps it was just a lemon, because I haven't read this criticism anywhere else. I may try another one, because other than that I thought it was great.
