So far, this radio seems fine
I bought this radio for my hurricane kit.We've had the power go out for a week or more, so the crank power was appealing.I also like the TV tuner (the TV stations have bigger news teams) and the weather radio.
Non-durable
Yes I like the AM reception-- But after using the Eton Fr-300 for thre months. The hand crank generator failed. With an inspection internally I found it was due to a Plastic reduction gear. Untill that point and time I was happy with it.
Not a Bad Upgrade to the Grundig FR200
For both emergency and regular use, which I covet both reasons based on where I live, this Eton FR300 is a minor, but otherwise not bad, upgrade to the dependable FR200. It looks and feels durable right out of the box comparable to the FR200. With NOAA Weather bands instead of Short Wave channels I will never use, I'm kept up to date with any weather emergencies. The T.V. channel feature is also solid; I get my channels for news and information up here. With the crank handle I will never really need an adapter or batteries in the case of an emergency.

Great radio
This is a great radio for getting weather reports.The display is lacking if you want to use this radio for a bedside radio.It took me a little time to get it set up (reducing the number of watchs/warnings I wanted the radio to alert to).Entering the SAME code was not a problem.I highly recommend if you are looking for a radio to let you know when the next storm is coming.A few "cosmetic" changes (better display, ability to turn beeping off) would get this radio to 5 stars.

First Weather Radio
This is the first weather radio we have owned.I found it easy to program and set up.It has every available feature/watch/warning that a homeowner could need or want.My children 8 and 5 feel a great comfort during tornado season knowing that we can access the most accurate weather information in an instant.

Great Weather Radio, could be improved as a clock radio
This is a great weather radio, one of the best.The SAME technology coupled with the ability to enable or disable many of the alert functions ensures the radio wakes you up when you really want to be alerted, rather than for every alert the Weather Service issues.

The Sony ICF-SW7600GR world band receiver radio will keep you connected to FM, AM, shortwave and longwave stations with a PLL digital tuner. With single side band (SSB) reception, the radio will transmit with a minimal amount of interference. To further enhance listening pleasure, the synchronous detection will reduce fading and regular beats. You can listen to the ICF-SW7600GR via the in-body speaker or with the included headphones.Read more

Features

• PLL digital tuner receives FM, MW/AM, shortwave and longwave
• MY-memory tuning memorizes and scans up to 100 frequencies
• Four tuning methods: direct, manual, scan and preset
• World clock and dual clock functions; built-in timer
• Label presets with 6 alphanumeric letters

Great SW radio that could be better
This is the best SW radio you can buy for under $150 but it does lack a few features that would have made it the best radio ever. Since this radio picks up shortwave it would be nice to know what meter band you are on. This radio does not display the band, only the frequency. Tuning the radio is another problem since it doesn't have a knob, only buttons. The Kaito 1103 is a superior radio because of these features and matches the performance of the Sony except maybe for bringing in distant AM stations. It also costs less. I have both radios but I use the Kaito much more.

A portable receiver packed with the most features available.
I owned this general coverage receiver for 9 months. It is high quality. It is full of features crammed in the smallest possible package for portability. The sound is good. The AM/SW reception is much better compared to my older 9 band analog Sony shortwave receiver ICF-4920. I must add that the sound coming from the smaller speaker in the older ICF-4920 is more impressive. Anyway, the 7600GR's FM reception is outstanding. In thick walled buildings, I recommend using the spool antenna, that is included with the radio, for improved FM reception. The first thing I did after I acquired the 7600GR was to get a good 120V wall adapter for continuous use. Knowing the available adapter was inadequate for clear reception, I snatched a discontinued Sony AC-E60L adapter, which supplies 6V DC at 650mA, and works well with the 7600GR. Alkaline batteries do not last very long in the 7600GR.
Does not catch other countries as promissed
Some people state it does, but obviously they do not understand that most of the forecasts they listen to are coming from the US;But in general, the radio is good. ... Read more

Nice Radio
I bought this radio a week ago, and I have a couple of observations:
If not for the headphone jack . . .
. . . it would have been a 5 star review.The radio itself is really good, and the reception that I got on all bands was excellent.
Terrible radio.
At $25, this radio is still highly overpriced.In a major metropolitan area, with many radio stations, it can barely pick up 3 or 4 on the FM!AM/TV/Weather picks up zero.But hey, if you enjoy the sound of static, this is the unit for you!Headphones don't even get stereo output...come on Sony, it's 2006, stereo should be pretty much a standard today.Purchased this yesterday and will be returning it ASAP today! ...

If you're looking for a solid pocket radio, and you think you might enjoy tuning in broadcasts from around the globe, then the Grundig Mini 300 might be the choice for you. This radio doesn't have the powerful features and reception of a higher-end shortwave radio, such as Etón's E1XM, but it does offer a convenient, pocket-sized way to bring clear AM/FM, and limited shortwave radio reception anywhere you go.Read more

Features

• Compact, highly portable way to bring AM/FM and shortwave reception with you
• Long-range antenna for receiving distant broadcasts; radio tunes 7 shortwave bands
• LCD display shows frequency, time, sleep time, and symbols for sleep timer and alarm activation
• External headphone jack
• Includes handsome carrying case

Nice Little Radio
This radio has a great sound and is nice and compact. A back-lit lcd and platic belt clip would have been nice. The tuning is a little touchy and jumps; however, the reception stays pretty much the same.

good
Good radio. Picks up signals pretty good but the dial is very sensitive and their is no button to lock it so it stays off. But it picks up signals quite good. Please note they will send you a refurbished unit but you wouldn't know from the looks of it. Its just like new and at J&R this radio costs 40 bucks so overall, its a great deal.

Good Radio forBeginners
I bought this radio over Amazon a few days ago and it works great. It has great FM reception and although the tuning isn't digital, it's okay. ... Read more

Works fine for me
I picked up my version of this radio (Lifelong brand) at Walgreens for about $20. The advantage of buying it in the store is you can actually crank on it and make sure that the radio you are buying works (AM/FM/weather ... and charge). It comes in a plastic package where you can access the knobs, switches, and crank - a big selling point for me.
Great product
I bought this to take to the Dodger games with me.I love it.

This Radio Can Save Your Bacon
Note: this is a copy of a review that I posted for the WR-100B, which appears to be nearly the same (check both listings for best price).
My favorite product EVER!!!
My favorite product that could be made is the
It works!
In retrospect, I wish I had ordered the WR-300, as the WR-100 does not have an AM/FM tuner.When you're hiding out in your bathroom during severe weather (and my WR-100 is located in my master bathroom for convenience), it would be nice to be able to listen to your local radio stations for bulletins.Still, this radio performed flawlessly just a few hours after I opened it up.It woke me up at 1am to tell me there was a tornado watch in my area, and I turned on The Weather Channel and confirmed this.

Get the best of both worlds: A modern and high-performance field radio combined with classic styling, rugged construction, and military-style controls.

Other features include a large, full-range speaker for clear sound; a line-level output; separate bass, treble, and RF gain controls; and wide and narrow bandwidth filter controls. All this and more is contained in a case that's only 10.5 inches wide and weighs under 4 pounds.

Great radio, Fantastic price!
This review is for the silver model @ $35.00. I could not belive the price & had to get one & see what was up. I think mine is a floor demo as the tape sealing the box had been broken.
Mixed Feelings After Four Years
There is still a lot to love about the S350, big full sound, incredible FM reception, generally strong AM reception, good rugged looks. But the drift is a minor annoyance. Worse, two AM stations here in Los Angeles, 1150 and 980 (Dodgers baseball) get overcrowding, meaning two stations are playing at once, and no matter how narrow the filter I get this overcrowding. My 40-dollar GE Superradio III doesn't have this problem. But the GE doesn't have digital readout and I hate finding the sweet spot. So is there a big digital radio that doesn't have these flaws? I hear there is. Soon there will be a radio available called the Redsun 3000, which is supposed to blow away all the competition. Already the Redsun 2100 is said to be superior to the 350 but has ergonomic problems. As of 9-22-06, the Redsun 3000 is supposed to be only a few months away.

Same cheap junk as Grundig S350 !

I am a radio "nut"; I hold an amateur (Ham) radio Extra Class license.I have owned many radios (including several Sangeans) and this little "thingy" is probably the handiest AM/FM Receiver I have ever owned; I carry it around the house constantly to keep up with "talk radio" programs when I am not in the Ham Shack; I crave information and news.

excellent product
for my personal application this product could only been improved if it would have had a weather channel as an added feature. I will have to purchase a weather radio seperately since it does not.

Pretty great, affordable little radio
Sounds nice, looks nice, and sturdily built. Another reviewer "bet" that it was not made in Germany... he's right, it's made in China. Not sure why that matters except for snobbery. Winding the dynamo for 60 seconds or so results in a charge for a few minutes. Not bad, but only useful in emergency situations. Put some AA batteries in and you're set. The light is pretty bright, the siren super annoying, so you're set to drive each other crazy when the world ends.

Absolutely indespensable!
I have a previous model of this wonderful radio & just received THIS model for father's day. It is by far the coolest, neatest, most useful item around. Radio (fm, am, shortwave) flashlight, cell phone charger (with lots of adapters), siren and red blinking lights. Best of all - the hand crank works great. Needs about 1-2 minutes of cranking for 45 minutes or more of use (roughly). I keep it in the car for camputs and for storm situations and the like. Has a slot for headphone and an optional power adapter and takes regular AA batteries but I never bother. Just crank it up amintue or so and its works great.

Oregon Scientific's compact handheld WR-102 radio receives all seven NOAA weather radio channels and can be programmed to display only warnings and alerts that occur in your local area. The radio continuously receives broadcasts and sounds the radio speaker whenever an alert comes through so you can be sure to be on top of the latest weather news.
