I have been looking at these for a while, I guess since being hunched over the radio at my desk all day on 9/11. I still have not found one that has everything I'd like (AM/FM radio would be nice, water resistant, AA batteries). I plan to use it for fun but also like the idea of having it for news during emergencies, storms, power outages, etc. Has anyone tried one they could recommend? Do they suck batteries too fast for consideration as emergency gear? Do you think most users would be better off with a smaller AM/FM/TV/Weather radio? Thanks again!
