I'm averse to do-it-all multi-function emergency radios. A small radio that can also generate some power, serve as a flashlight, etc. doesn't do as well as a dedicated power generator, flashlights, radio, etc. So if I were to upgrade, I would be looking for weather radios (just NOAA stuff, not even AM/FM -- I have a dedicated radio for that).

But I guess this list partly answers the question I have -- if the market reflects demand, then most people aren't looking for a dedicated weather radio with SAME.
