A while back Midland sent me their latest NOAA weather radio to test. I finally had an opportunity to really test it and go through all of the functions and features and I have to say this little gem is a nice piece of equipment to have! Most of us who work with Midland are in the weather world and realize the need for everyone to have an NOAA weather radio - but the ER300 isn't your ordinary weather radio. The ER300 IS an emergency radio. With everything from a flashlight to an emergency dog whistle to powering your cell phone via it's USB port -- it has many features that could really help you in an emergency.
During this season I plan on using the ER300 during our tours as well as on the home front and will give it a full report but until then, suffice it to say that this is one great piece of equipment to have. It is a portable radio so it can be taken almost anywhere, it can be cranked to charge the battery or charged with the USB cable supplied, which is very nice in case of a real emergency type situation. Below are some of the features offered:
Multiple Sustainable Power Sources – Solar, hand crank, rechargeable battery
I recommend anyone who might be looking for a weather radio or a radio to have for emergency situations give this radio a look - it could very well save your life! We will do a full report during the severe weather season. Stay tuned!
