Designed with your adventure in mind.

Rugged Design and Reliable Redundant Power Sources

Rugged Design and Reliable Redundant Power Sources The Etón SOLARLINK FR600 is rugged for outdoor use, and is more than ready to go with no plugs or wires needed. Clever case design protects the analog controls from damage, while rubber gaskets and plugs help keep moisture out of the unit.

Having a device that sports multiple modes of communication means nothing if there is no way to power it. Etón has designed the SOLARLINK FR600 with that thought in mind, and it can be powered in several ways. The built-in rechargeable battery pack can be charged from the integrated dynamo hand crank, or from an optional USB adapter. An array of water resistant, shatterproof, high performance glass encapsulated amorphous solar cells can also run the SOLARLINK FR600. They are efficient enough to power the unit under direct sunlight. These multiple power supplies can also be used to recharge cell phones via USB charging cable (not included).

    2.0 out of 5 stars Good combination of features, lousy execution, August 10, 2009
    By vv111y (Lewiston, New York United States) - See all my reviews
    I like all the combination of features that it comes with.

    PROS:
    - good reception for all the radios: AM/FM/SW. I would want more preset memory slots.

    - good customization of S.A.M.E. alerts. You can specify what emergencies to be alerted for and to what degree (watch or warning).

    - solar, lights, alarm, USB connectivity are good, practical add-ons. The solar is essential.

    - decent display

    Now the rest:

    - body is not built strong enough - needs to be much more robust given its intended use in disasters and emergencies.

    - the crank WILL BREAK. It's only a matter of time - short time. Very poorly designed.

    - knobs are cheap and flimsy

    - No AC adaptor included! Come on.

    - having water-proof like IPX-7 standard would be a good idea. This has no water resistance at all.

    Making this more robust would increase the price, yes. In my opinion it is essential.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Feature Rich, July 5, 2009
    By Media Worker (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
    For the price, the features packed into this radio are extraordinary. It has everything to make it a great radio for unexpected power outages and storms. As a con, the band selector is very soft, It is not easy to choose the band and go straight to it since there is no audible and only very slight tactile clicks between bands. Something a little more rugged and distinct would have been nice. I would be willing to pay more for a more rugged version if they made one. Altogether, a good radio, but it falls short of being great.

    1.0 out of 5 stars It Only Looks Good, July 7, 2009
    The FR600B only looks good in picture. The silver knobs and crank are just cheap plastic. The black rubbery casing is nice. The most disappointing feature is its high power consumption that requires constant recharging or fresh batteries. I bought this hoping to use it by solar power alone but it takes a whole day of direct sun light for a few hours of operation. I do like the digital features and the radio station presets. I will switch back to the FR250 and put this one in the car for emergency use.
