While we're talking radios...

I've had a chance to try out both the Grundig FR200 and Sony SRF-M37V during blackouts due to our recent Florida hurricanes.

Both have features to commend them. I particularly like the Sony with its weather stations and TV reception for channels 1 through 13.

I found that the TV audio was a great source of information. Most of the TV stations assumed that people in blacked-out areas would be listening to their audio, and did expanded descriptions of the weather and hurricane tracking.
