Product Information

It didn’t do much to add a charge but would work for someone using this solely for emergency reports in a dire situation. From a basic outlook, most emergency radios come with FM, AM, and weather band radio, allowing users to get updates from the media and emergency broadcasts in certain situations.

The WR400 has a clearly marked menu button with a four-direction cursor and an LCD screen to walk you through all the necessary steps—as a result, it’s accessible and easy to figure out, even if you tend to skip instructions. All the radio capabilities and Bluetooth also worked at home and in the mountains, meaning you can take it anywhere. It has a headphone jack, as well, if you want to listen to the radio without disturbing anyone else. Cruelly stolen from the alpine swales of rural Wisconsin at a young age, Nick made do ascending the snows and granite of the North Cascades while completing a journalism degree.

Because they don’t need an external power source like an outlet, emergency radios still work when a storm knocks out a power grid. One element that separates some emergency radios from other types of radios, is the ability to broadcast alerts via the Emergency Alert System, even when the radio sound is turned off. Perfect for emergency needs on the go, consider the Midland X-Talkers your short-range communicators (up to 28 miles) that keep a weather eye on the horizon. This radio alarm should fit onto any desktop, providing you with visual and audible NOAA alerts as well as customizable and hyper-local Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) alerts.

Weather radios provide communication from the outside world and multiple other options like flashlights, phone chargers, and more to keep users prepared for almost any situation.At GearJunkie, we take every aspect of the gear seriously, from the specs on an emergency radio to just how well it works in real-life situations.

If you have hearing loss, or if you’re not at home when the alert sounds, the WR400 saves the specific messaging for you with three bright LED settings to differentiate between a storm Advisory, Watch, or Warning, so you can check the alerts at your convenience. The modern amenity means you can charge the radio with a USB while also using the radio to charge other items like a smartphone.These broadcasts can include basic forecasts and current weather observations, but also warnings, watches, and hazard information. Smaller and lighter radios will have 850-1,000 mAh, which will provide enough for shorter emergencies or camping trips when used sparingly. With several power options and additional features that can help in an emergency, we think the ER210 is the best emergency radio available today.
