Self-Powered and Solar-Powered AM/FM/LW/Shortwave Radio, Flashlight, Siren and Cell Phone Charger
When your outdoor adventures take you off the grid, you need a device that can fill multiple needs. The Etón FR550 is a compact unit that you can toss 
in your rucksack and take anywhere. It functions as an AM, FM, LW shortwave radio. It also has a flashlight, an emergency beacon, and an emergency 
siren. Plus, you can use it to charge your cell phone or MP3 player. This little wonder can be powered with the hand crank, or solely by the sun—solar 
panels make this a very “green” device. Of course, battery power and AC power are also options.
