Radio’s are a very effective means of catching news even when you in the middle of nowhere. And how about a pimped out radio that can entertain you and get juiced up using the elements of nature? Sounds like the perfect device to lug along while trekking across the jungle. Yeah we’re talking about the Eton FR500 Solarlink Radio. This rugged looking radio will bring you weather news, AM, FM and shortwave radio. And you have not one, not two, but three means of powering it.
You can plonk in batteries into the Solarlink Radio and once that runs out, you can crank it up with your hand to give it some juice. You can also give this radio some sun-power as it comes with solar panels. Very nice! Eton have also managed to cram in a few very handy features like a LED flashlight, a siren and a SOS beacon. With all these features, the FR500 Solarlink manages to be surprisingly inexpensive at $80. All in all, the FR500 Solarlink is a rugged little radio that packs in quite a mean punch.
