The Midland ER310 Emergency Crank Weather Alert Radio could be the radio that keeps you out of the dark in an emergency. Designed to meet a multitude of needs this emergency radio includes the standard AM/FM, along with NOAA weather alerts and broadcasts. Of course a radio is no good unless it can operate during a power outage, and this one is no exception with the ability to operate via dynamo crank generator or solar power. It can even accept AA batteries. Not only will you be out of the dark with access to local news and weather reports, but the LED flashlight will let you see in the darkness. Join us as we explore what Midland got right and wrong with the ER310 Emergency Crank Weather Alert Radio. ++++ The antenna DOES have a pivot joint as I discovered on a cold day ++++
