Strengths: Excellent reception, the manual charging feature is very usefull. Weaknesses: Cheap looking case. Summary: I am using this radio on AM (Medium wave) and FM bands. Reception is very good on these bands, never tried the short wave bands. The separate coarse and fine tuning knobs are very handy. Never installed alkaline batteries, the built in dynamo charges the built in batteries very quickly. Good guts in a cheap and rather ugly body, but an excellent buy: $37 delivered. 100% of People (9/9) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

clem288 Member Since: Dec 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 4 Days	FR200 - Emergency Radio - A worthwhile investment Strengths: Small, sensitive reception, easy to charge up, great sound, crank and charge works easily. Weaknesses: Function labels are kinda small. Summary: 2006-12-25 13:00:31 A practical radio that is efficient to use, charges effectively, and the use of rechargeable batteries makes the unit work well from the start. All the power options make it a perfect stand-by radio, and one to take camping or hiking. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

onlycashmee Member Since: Dec 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Days	Great Radio Strengths: Hand Crank Weaknesses: Little Summary: It is a basic audio and light tool for emergency use. I live in a very rural area and both FM & AM work great. Obviously the SW receiver won't compete with my high end Grundig radio, but then again this was $500 cheaper! It picks up major SW frequencies fine at my location. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.
