The Etón Hand-Crank Two-Way Survival Radio is a small communications system designed to be used during or shortly after earthquakes, as well as floods, tsunamis, bush fires and other natural or man made disasters. It has a built in AM/FM/NOAA weather radio, a two-way GMRS radio, an SOS beacon, an LED flashlight, a siren and cell phone charger so you can keep your devices powered on the go.
The hand-crank allows the radio to be powered by hand if you happen to run out of batteries or if there’s no external power supply – potentially making it useful on camping trips as well as after the end of the world.
