Summary: 5 Stars
Hurricane season here in South Florida was a tad awesome this year - and with that reality check, my hurricane grab-bag has included as many multi-power source units as possible. This little radio made the list with it's built-in generator.
When I recieved it, I tried out the generator immediately. Following instructions, I cranked for 3 minutes - no problem there, the equipment isn't pissed-off-gorilla proof, but it isn't fragile, either. After my crank time, I flipped the switch, and the radio worked immediately. THEN I pulled out he antenna. Great reception.
What more could I ask for? Radio works, generator works, it also takes batteries. It has a hole for an AC adaptor - however, mine did not come with one... but while I have this generator, who cares? Radio works a long time for 3 minutes of cranking.

Though upon arrival, I had expected a larger Emergency Radio The Grundig FR200 did not disappoint for it's relatively moderate price the little lightweight radio contains some great features: A tiny built-in flashlight that sheds a fairly decent illumnation to find the kids; the pets a fuse or breaker box and find your shoes. 4 billion radio stations (Imagine, I could even listen to my AM news station with great clarity); a manual power crank to use alone or to charge an Ni-MH rechargable battery. Purchase the 4.5 V AC adapter, for this model or use 3 AA batteries. ((eton) Grundig has many models to suit your needs). FR 200 has an earphone jack, carrying case, instructions and limited warranty. Buy a few, or many for family, friends, keep in car basement, bedrooms, garage, bathroom, anywhere you may need a little extra security.Customer Review: Emergency radio that works!

I recently suffered through Hurricane Charley without a radio (power was out of the question). My radio batteries were gone before the storm actually hit land. I decided I'd never be without a radio again, and bought this item. I've cranked it a few times, and it's working great! Good sound and even the flashlight included is stronger than I would have expected. I've read about the complaints about how much cranking is necessary, but I don't care (when the power is out, what else do you have to do but crank the radio?) I'll never be without radio contact again when I need it most. I hope I'll never use this radio for it's intended purpose, but I'm sure glad I've got it!Customer Review: Very Impressive for the $$

Hi
I ordered the Grundig 200 as we enter the hurricane season here in Florida. I like the hand crank generator feature the best.The radio will play at moderate levels for at least one hour after cranking the generator for 90 seconds. I was suprised at the sound quality from this little radio. I recently beamed the signal from my satellite radio through it as I waxed my car and was very pleased with the sound. The shortwave section is of reasonable quality when you consider the $39.00 price tag of the Grundig 200. The fine tuning feature is very helpful when scanning for shortwave signals. The FM & AM sections performed well. Overall this is a home run.
