This is an all-purpose, rechargeable weather radio with digital display, solar panel and hand turbine power generator; the FRX2 features an AM/FM/NOAA weather band digital radio. Crank the hand turbine for one minute and it will have enough power for 15-20 minutes of music, news and weather. If you don’t want to use the crank, simply charge it in the sun using the built-in solar panel or use the included mini USB cable to charge the FRX2’s built-in rechargeable battery.
