Cheap winder...

Date of Review:  Aug 25, 2006
Review: Good sound, but after twelve cranks the winder broke. No, I was not being rough with it ... actually, when it broke I was bragging to my sister about how neat this little orange radio was; she cranked it and snap! it broke. Why?? I opened it up and...

Grundig FR-200. Cute radio, great performer.

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: Can't go wrong for the money. A cheap way to get into SW listening and also be prepared for the next blackout.
Review: I bought this radio a year ago as a late Christmas present for myself. I have always been fascinated by those "hand-cranked" radios that don't need batteries, as they would be handy in an emergency.

As it turns out, this radio is not...

This is a terrific radio....

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2003
Review: This is a terrific radio. When the power is out and batteries are scarce, you can still stay aware of what is going on locally, nationally and internationally. Best product I have purchased in a very long time. This product is much better than I...

Is your radio ready for "The Quickening"?

Date of Review:  May 21, 2004
The Bottom Line: A great, tough little radio for those moments when life turns upside down.
Review: I'm a big fan of AM radio, and especially Art Bell's late night "High Strangeness" talk show Coast to Coast. I've always wanted a hand-crank powered radio that will work no matter what is happening outside. The recent East Coast black out made that...

A lot of performance for the price!

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2006
Review: I recently purchased the FR200 at a Radio Shack store for a very reasonable price of $29.95. This radio would be an excellent beginner radio for the novice shortwave listener. Note, you can increase shortwave reception by clipping a wire to the...

A Bit of a Paradox

Date of Review:  May 9, 2007
Review: Invaluable junk? The electronics of the FR200 are an unpleasant throwback to the analog era: knob and slide tuning, no auto frequency lock (hence, FM stations drift), and sound quality reminiscent of a tiny 1960s transistor radio.

And,oh...

low playing time

Date of Review:  May 4, 2005
Review: I bought this product after I lost power and was bored for several hours. I thought the radio used spring technology like the freeplay, and was disappointed when I found out the crank simply charged a rechargeable battery. I found that the...

The GRUNDIG FR200

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: The radio is a good value and has many useful features.
Review: The GRUNDIG FR200 is a versatile, light weight radio. It contains a rechargeable battery pack, similar to cordless phones, a flashlight, and an AM/FM/shortwave band radio. You can recharge the batteries with an 12 volt, 100mA, AC adapter or with the...

Grundig FR200

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2008
Review: I love this radio.....I live in NC and can easily listen to stations from Russia, The Netherlands and South America just to name a few. While I do agree with the critics that it takes quite a bit of cranking to get a little radio time, not being...
