 Very nice little radio August 9, 2009

I bought this radio for motorcycle camping because of its compact size, multiple power sources, and weather radio capability. I've been using it daily now for over a month and am not at all disappointed. Signal reception is somewhat weak on the Eton compared to the radio in my vehicle as distance from the transmitter increases, but this is the only issue I've found in over a month of use and is far from intolerable. As an added surprise/bonus, the Eton has a scan function built into the tuner. The manual tuning knob is quite slow at tuning up and down the scale, but the "MIN/DOWN" and "HR/UP" buttons digitally scan up and down the scale quickly. This is a feature that I don't remember seeing in the product descriptions. As far as durability goes, my daughter knocked our radio off of our kitchen table and it bounced off of our hardwood floor. This happened the very next day after I received the Eton. I was certain there would be damage of some sort, but I looked closely at the exterior and could not detect where the impact had occurred on the case. I shook the unit and could not hear anything rattling inside. Finally, I checked all functions and found nothing wrong. This little radio is durable, but I asked my daughter not to perform any more destructing testing. Lastly, the radio does not ship with its own a/c adapter. This struck me as a little questionable, given the price of the unit. But I looked at all of the a/c adapters I already own and found that my Remington trimmer adapter was perfect (3.6 VDC, 100 mA output) for a full charge of the nimh battery pack in lieu of waiting for the sun to top it off. If you've been considering purchasing this radio, I readily recommend it. Keep in mind that the reception issue has a great deal to do with your location.

I ordered three of the solar radios from Amazon.com for Christmas and the kids played with them for a long while. One of the radios wasn't working properly so you replaced it immediately. I think they will use them for a long time to come.

I really enjoy this battery/solar/hand crank radio. My work truck do not have a cigarette outlet and this is perfect for me. I use it during break and lunch. The radio's clock is perfect too because my work truck don't have one. I've bought rechargeable AAA batteries for back up. Great product and I use it everyday at work.

it seems well made, and i like the digital tuner, but i found the tuning knobs to be a little "mushy" in tactile response. i also feel that the hand crank should be a little longer since it can be a little difficult to rotate.
