Venturing out in the woods are we? Yeah you’d do well to be light on that backpack and yet include all the necessities. In contemporary times, and keeping in mind nature of the outdoors, this would translate into a radio, a phone charger, a flashlight and a siren (just in case). But must you bother carrying all of these separately? Of course not, Eton FR350 is all of these gadgets in one package. This AM/FM radio is waterproof and has 8 shortwave bands. Eton’s FR350 has all the above-mentioned utilities and as far as questions regarding powering it are concerned, it is eclectic to the core. The all-in-one device can be powered using any of following power sources:
o Built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery
o Dynamo crank alone
o AC Adapter (included)
o 3 “AA” batteries
It is the cranking part that’s most interesting for the purpose of outdoors. Spend one hour on the cranking handle and you’ll be set for an hour of music on the radio. And in case you get into a bit of trouble (heaven forbid!) just use the siren to alert your rescuers. Alternatively sound the siren in your backyard and inform your family members that you are ready for a meal. The device measures 114 x 220 x 50 mm and weighs at 680g. FR350 has an earphone jack, DC input and jacks for charging cell phones. All these could be yours for 60 greenbacks and in red, orange, black, blue or silver color.
