2nd item. The crank doesnt power the AAA batteries it totally separate power. Also tried lots of dynamo radios. Eton definately has the best crank. Not sure how you got that as a con.
Because its useless junk which takes up room in the radio which could have had d cells in it (not AA's) and with no silly gadgets (sirens,lights displays) can run a radio for about 300 hours.
These so - called emergency radios are nothing but silly toys. With the ridiculous cranks, solar cells, sirens and lights all of which are almost useless . With all the junk they put in them theres no room for a good size set of batteries like D-cells which gives you hundreds of hours of operation instead of multiple ineffective options. The cranks break off and dont give you any real recharge time (your going to crank while driving or boarding up your house??) The solar cells wont run the radio and take hours to recharge tiny batteries. The multiple power options (a selling gimac) are what make these radios almost worthless. If they didnt do that you could fit 3 D-cells which will power a radio with no digital displays for 250 hours. You also dont want digital displays or flashlights draining your small batteries even when the radio is off. You want a slide rule dial AM,FM, WB , 3 D cells, slide rule dial, big speaker , detachable ac cord and long telescoping antenna (the fad junkers have short ones) The Kaito KA-390 , Retekess TR-640 and Prunus J-05 are far better for emergency use than these junky fad so-called emergency radios. There just a bunch of useless features to make you think "YOUR PREPARED" It like a swiss army knife with a bunch of useless blades.
I have to talk to too many people on the phone that cannot speak English properly.. would've been nice if I could've understood everything he was saying....

Can I ask a question? This helping for to go long travel going another country?
Sure.
Have had the Eton for a long time. The rechargeable batteries quit working after a year. It’s just a AAA powered radio now. Should be $20
Thanks for your valuable opinion!
@@goOutdoorZone Throw it out it was useless when it worked. Get a real radio. with AM FM WB
