Editorial Review:
Be prepared for the best and the worst that Mother Nature can dish out with this multifunction GPX radio/flashlight combo. Outfitted with an AM/FM tuner with a digital readout and a seven-channel National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather band receiver, the radio is a must for outdoorsmen, people who live in tornado or tsunami country, and plain-old amateur weather watchers. It also makes a great emergency device for camping trips or home survival kits thanks to the flashlight, siren, and personal security alert--all of which qualify as necessities during weather-related power failures or, more ominously, natural disasters. Should a particularly nasty storm befall your town or campsite, rest assured that you can listen to the latest weather and storm forecasts 24 hours a day, receive news reports (or distract yourself with music) via the radio, and still find your way around the basement or campground. In addition, the radio's sleek, rugged housing is water-resistant, so you needn't worry about rain or windstorms damaging its circuitry.
Of course, the radio performs in non-emergency situations as well, with an easy-to-read LCD clock and an alarm that keeps you from oversleeping. To ensure that the power doesn't run down at the worst possible moment, GPX included three charging methods for the radio: a hand crank that juices up the heavy-duty dynamo motor, an AC adapter (not included), or a DC-jack terminal for plugging in a cigarette lighter adapter (not included). The radio also requires a combination of two AA alkaline batteries (not included) and two rechargeable ni-cad batteries (included) to run. The combined battery and motor options diversifies the radio's power draw, guaranteeing that the radio won't conk out once the batteries first start to drain.

Rating:  - Good for under $30
I looked at a lot of emergency radios and this one came out on top. The weather station in Los Angeles comes in crystal clear, even running off just the dynamo. The hand crank is sturdy enough. The radio works well, but it works best with the batteries in it. The tuner is sensitive, but once you get it on a station, it sticks. The flashlight is OK. The emergency siren is OK. The back battery panel is going to pop open if you drop it. Although this product is multi-purpose, in a real emergency I will ... Read More
Rating:  - GPX RWB4004SP 7-Channel NOAA Weatherband AM/FM Flashlight Radio with 3-Way Rechargeable Circuitry
This is truly a piece of CRAP.
The first thing I did was to install the 6 AA batteries, instantly my eyes lit up for the clock was working. I found the clock simple to set. Then it was down hill from there. The crank did not work the AM/FM radio did not work.
You get what you pay for,$[...] +s/h too good to be true. Lesson well learned.
Advise spent the extra money and get a brand name weatherband radio.

Bought one from second hand store. I paid too much @ $2.00. Everything worked ,..poorly. I would not depend on this for an emergency.
Rating: - Unsafe Radio
I purchased this radio recently and had to return it as the weather band did not work. I received the replacement radio and found the same problem along with the fact that the flashlight did not fuction. I live close to the Weather station repeater and receive a strong signal on my other units. I rasied the antenna, shortened it, etc. ran it off the batteries, crank to no avail. It is pretty scary considering this unit has the NOAA alert built in. I have sent an email to GPX regarding this and am awaiting ... Read More
Rating: - wonky piece of crap
I sure wish i had the one the other guy loves so much. Mine's utter garbage. I turns the crank, and the radio comes in very well. Thats about all it does.
See, the presence of a crank fools the buyer into thinking that they will not need batteries to make this object work. I couldn't read anything but extremely faint garbage on the digital display, until i put in 2 AA batteries.
The light is crap. The manual says that 1 minute of turning the crank will charge the batteries 25%, and ... Read More
