A Hand-Crank Weather Radio


A hand-crank weather radio is helpful to have in an emergency (see attached example). You can carry it with you and it will operate without batteries, by cranking the built-in generator. They are available on-line and at several local retail stores and sporting goods stores for $30 - $80, depending on the quality and features.

I think one of the most reputable places to order any kind of radioequipment online is the C Crane company,http://www.ccrane. com/radios/ wind-up-emergenc y-radios/These folks stand behind what they sell, and if you order something fromthem, your credit card data is secure and your order arrives when they sayit will.Since a lot of emergency communication will be happening on the two-meterAmateur Radio band, you might take a hard look at the CCRadio-2. Grantedthe $159 price is a little dizzying during a recession, but this unit willreceive signals most radios can't find. Read more at:http://www.ccrane. com/radios/ am-fm-radios/ ccradio-2. aspx
