Freeplay Plus Radio

If you don't have an emergency radio, or you want to upgrade from a basic model, then check out the best wind-up radio in America, the Freeplay Plus. During a power failure, it's essential to have at least one self-powered crank radio, and when that radio also has a built-in emergency light, plus superior AM and Shortwave reception, there's just no better choice. The Freeplay Plus has a built-in, NiMH battery pack that you can recharge by cranking the radio, angling its solar panel toward the sun, or by plugging in the optional AC adapter. The same battery pack powers both the radio and the retractable 3-LED light. When fully charged, the battery holds enough juice for over 40 hours of use, and when the battery gets low, you just have to crank it up. That's the kind of versatility that makes the Freeplay Plus the very definition of an alternative powered emergency radio. The Freeplay Plus also scores big as an everyday radio to use around your home or while out in remote country. Whether you're playing cards in a blacked-out living room, or greening your thumb in the garden, the Freeplay Plus can go where you need it, when you want it, and without the need for any external power. This fine wind-up, emergency radio has continuous coverage of 10 Shortwave bands from 3.0 to 18.1 MHz. You can even plug your headphones into the Freeplay Plus's stereo headphone jack and enjoy your listening in private.
