Overview
A storm shelter, a camping tent or a kitchen drawer kept for outages is where the Eton Quest belongs, receiving AM, FM, shortwave and NOAA weather alerts. Solar and hand crank charging refill its battery when the grid is down.
Several ways to charge plus visual and audio weather alerts make it a dependable outage companion. It is a receiver only, and the phone charging output drains the same battery the radio relies on.
Who it's for
Families preparing for hurricanes, tornadoes and power cuts, and campers who want news and weather off grid. People needing two way communication need a handheld transceiver instead.
Pros and cons
- NOAA weather alerts with visual warning
- Solar and hand crank charging
- Shortwave band for distant news
- Flashlight and ambient light with SOS
- Receive only, no transmitting
- Phone charging drains the radio battery
- Charge times not listed
Performance notes
Reception depends on signal strength and antenna position, so shortwave improves outdoors or near a window. The battery stores energy from solar, crank or USB, but cranking delivers small amounts per minute of effort. Running the light or charging a phone shortens radio listening time.
