Who has experience with these radios? I am looking for one that will pick up broadcasts clearly and won't break the bank. I have surfed the net and found many but I really don't have the jest to know which one I can truly rely on. Word has it they must be digital as Government is doing away with analog. Thanks much!!!!

I am not broke but I am just trying to get the best bang for the buck. I just didn't want to buy a playschool crap radio that only picks up signals at 3 in the morning. Just need a very dependable emergeny band radio that picks up the weather and all government broadcasts, maybe even some local yokel chatter, any info would help.

Heres the eton lineup of radios. pay attention to what you need from them. some are waterproof and some are not. i currently have the eton microlink fr150.
Includes noaa radio (7 channels) solar charger, usb charging option, cell phone charging adapter, 3 led light. this unit is outstanding. only thing i dont like is:
you dont get a warning tone for severe weather when unit is turned off..
Edit: likes....more than one option for charging if one fails. if the handcrank quits working, throw it on the dash for a couple of hours.
