?Non-Electric (?Crank) Weather Radio Recommendation?

JoyFilled Warrior · ‎09-02-2022

In the past, I've heard about Crank (non-Electric) Radios for continuing to follow bad, inclement, volatile Weather, Alerts.

I wanted to know if you have, or heard of any recommendations for such a product that also stretches much longer distance. Still ? Energy Crank (non-Electric) Radio.

Any info you have is welcomed. Thx

I'm pretty sure if you searched on Amazon you would find one. You could probably find one that uses batteries too...

I have one and use it when there are bad storms around. I bought it from LL Bean, and it was very reasonable. I am glad to have it on-hand.

Hmm. @CelticCrafter Battery Operated hadnt occurred to me. Thx.

@charsha Thanks for yr info. Is your's a crank, or battery operated, or otherwise?

Do you happen to know how far it travels for news? Thx.

We carry an emergency weather radio in the motorhome, hand-crank, battery, solar. This one is similar to the one we have and is on sale.

Hi again @We rescue cats Do you happen to remember/know if this Weather Radio has the ability to also charge up a Cell Phone?

If not, any ideas as to how to charge a Cell Phone off of it, vs buy one that also has that capability? TIA

I know that ours does, and I think this is avtually the updated version of ours.

Just saw this on the description: MULTI-USE & DURABLE]- The upgraded 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬 is enough to charge your cell phone or USB devices for a brief call or a text message during an emergency. This 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨 with 3W integrated flashlights and 3.5W reading lamp are handy during emergency power cuts to see any signal in the dark. can be a lifesaver during dangerous disasters like tornadoes and hurricanes.
