I am also looking for a small emergency radio. The one that Goatman just wrote about (Eton FR150) has a cell phone charger with it and that is one thing I want in my next radio. Thank you for sharing that Goatman. I am also interested in hearing any feedback on it.

I am interested in the Kaito's. Here is a page with their radio's on it: http://www.kaitousa.com/radios.htm

The Kaito that I am looking at (KA009R) has a cell phone charger and NOAA Weather. You can also look at the User's Manual (scroll down to the bottom of the page for link to Owner's Manual) http://www.kaitousa.com/KA009R.htm

I currently have a CCrane Radio Plus. This is the one we listen to when we have power outages here at home. The batteries seem to last forever! It is not self powered though. http://www.ccrane.com/radios/am-fm-radios/ccradio-plus/index.aspx

I also have a Baygen Freeplay that I got at CCrane. Mine is an older model and I don't like the noise the hand crank makes when you wind it up. I don't know if all hand crank radio's make that much noise. It is also too big for BOB's.

We love the CCRadio Plus, but I am looking for something smaller for the BOB's in our cars. Here is a new CC Observer that I have never seen before:
http://www.ccrane.com/radios/wind-up-emergency-radios/cc-observer-wind-up-emergency-radio.aspx It is cheaper then the Kaito KA009R. I wonder if the batteries last as long as they do in the CCRadio Plus.
