Eton Radio - Portable Audio and Video

Would it be stupid to invest $50 in an emergency radio?

Q: Basically, since Katrina, I've been thinking of sinking $50 into an Eton radio (FR300), that broadcasts the emergency weather frequencies, plus AM/FM/VHF and TV. Plus it has a light, siren and cellphone charger. Wise? Or, am I just being paranoid?

A: I have lived through the WTC attacks, the Northeast blackout, snowstorms, summer blackouts, and hurricanes. Also lived through a tornado while in the mid-west. You might not think you will need that radio, but when the time comes it will be a relief. To be able to listen to your local radio news or TV audio for up-to-date status instead of sitting in your home with no information, will provide you a sense of calmness. For yourself and your family.

Why not make your own...

What could it hurt? It will give you peace of mind and better safe than sorry. (If you can afford to spend the money)

TV Digital Signal Conversion 2/2009 Will Radios that receive the audio of Channels 2-13 work ?

Written by mikect22 | Friday, April 04, 2008

As an Emergency Manager we are selling hand crank Eton radios that cover Channels 2-13 audio. When the digital conversion is completed, will these radios still pick up the audio of these TV channels? Thanks!!


A: short answer, no. long answer, the DTV signal processes the audio as part of the digital stream, so there is no analog type audio for your radio to pick up. i have an Eton radio to listen on the FM band and they do not received HD FM either, but at least with FM the analog has not been discontinued, yet.

FR-1000 VoiceLink Radio from ETON


Since the economic collapse, play and listen to Joe Rogan 3 Rain routine run, I am interested in reviewing what I'd like to call "Gear Apocalypse." The first time I saw an Eton radio is in the last days in 2009 Ces and I like the aesthetic that is very practical and can be accessed from different functions. FR-1000 that seems to be ship's FR series and is the only one with GMRS. Here is a quick summary of the FR-1000 features:

* 2-Way GMRS Clock Radio (General Mobile Radio Service) w / VoiceLink Communication
* NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
* Some of the energy source (4x AA batteries, active, internal battery Nimh, HandCrank)
* AM / FM / alarm clock
* Lights w / SOS Beacon
* Emergency Siren
* Water Resistance "
* Microphone and headphone jack
* Cell Phone Charger
Green Backlit LCD *

In fact, many functions. In short, Shortwave radio GMRS formal style is used and requires a license from the FCC $ 85. While most people use is not going GMRS license from the FCC, are required to use a particular channel and stay away from other people. I tried to find people in the GMRS in Portland, Oregon, and northern Virginia and are not lucky, no one with 22 channels several times during the scan channel I. If you have someone to talk to more specific GMRS can use one of 121 to maintain the confidentiality of the code is between you. I have a microphone to speak with anyone there and the input jack should I plug in a microphone headset. GMRS useful for camping or large group communication on construction sites and places like city hall. And of course the inspiration for, all...
