Solar Powered Radio - Solar Power Appliances

Features of the Etón FR160B Solar Powered Radio

Radio wise, this solar powered appliance allows you to tune into AM which is 520-1710 KHz, FM which is 87-108 MHz, or NOAA weather band so that you will be able to keep track of any upcoming storms and listen for any emergency messages as well. This band is truly crucial for any traveler to get all of the latest information regarding things like that.

When it comes to charging, finding a socket can be quite a problem, whether you are out on an adventure, or even simply traveling from one city to another. That is why the people at Etón thought about the solar/hand crank. Now you can charge the unit by leaving it under the sun, and if there isn’t any, then turning the hand crank should do the trick. You will never have to worry about your unit being drained ever again.

Not only is this a self charging, but it acts as a charger for other stuff too. It has a USB phone charger where you can plug in almost any kind of phone as well as other small electrical devices.

This would not be complete without a built in flashlight. They really did think about everything a person on the go needs as this unit also has 3 built in LED lights. As long as you have this, you won’t be left in the dark for whatever reason.

The Look

The FR160B Solar Powered Radio only comes up to be 5.25 inches. This means that you can sore it almost anywhere and squeeze it into any bag. This also makes it easy to grab and hold. Aside from the size, this unit is practically damage proof. The analog controls are well protected and there are even rubber plugs and gaskets to keep the unit moisture free. It is clear to see why Etón has award winning designs.

The Etón FR160B Solar Powered Radio is a bit like the Swiss army knife of radios you could say. It's up for any adventure and is sure to fill any number of needs you might have when in the great outdoors or simply stepping out in the neighborhood. Any adventure enthusiast or even just someone who is always on the road should never leave home without one.
