Digital camera reviews of Eton FR300 Emergency Crank Radio Metallic Red
Digital camera Review: Eton FR300 Emergency Crank Radio.
Summary: 4 Stars
A good piece of gear that I gave 4/5 stars because it does not come with a DC adaptor. That should be an integral part of the radio system.
The reason I'm writing this is to advise getting the adaptor from the Eton Website. Don't pay the crazy price other sources ask.
Digital camera Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this radio for my wife so she could listen to her favorite broadcasts while in the house. She is very pleased with it.Digital camera Review: Eton FR300
Summary: 4 Stars
This emergency radio does everything it is advertised to do. However, I found the knobs a little bit too small for an adult hand, they should be larger (the crank is a good size though). Other than that, it seems to perform well.Digital camera Review: Slick Gadget!

First off, I bought this from LL Bean on sale for $34.95. Checked it out, and this thing is really cool! It picked up lots of AM and FM stations (I used the crank feature, not batteries), and it also picked up the weather stations. That's about all I needed it for in an emergency! All in all - perfect for us!Digital camera Review: Deceptive Advertisement

I bought this at Christmas time and have since returned it (kudos to Amazon for an easy return process, but non-kudos for promising to refund all my money and then shorting me!).
Nutshell: The pictures and description of the product clearly show that it has a TV-VHF capability. It was *the* reason I bought it. When I took the product out of the box, no TV-VHF setting. No TV-VHF band on the dial. I checked the web site to make sure I wasn't just plain stupid in picking the wrong item. Nope. I checked the model number on the product: FR-300, which matched the item description on the website.
I have no idea what happened, but I'm not willing to try to buy this product again, for fear of getting another product lacking the very feature I am buying. I guess I'll have to wait until I see the item in person to know if I'm getting what I'm actually paying for.
So, my warning to you all: check the radio as soon as you get it and make sure it has TV-VHF, because there are radios labeled FR-300 which don't!
Bah, Amazon!
