Eton Odyssey Multi-Powered All-Band Bluetooth Emergency Radio met RDS, Rood

Muy bueno buen material

The emergency radio is everything the description says it is. A very well-made product!

Got this to keep in my car, just for some peace of mind.Sound quality is only ok, but that's not why I bought it. I wanted an emergency light and phone charger. And this fills that perfectly.Battery life is decent, but here's the kicker - the battery is replaceable, a perk I didn't see in the description. It appears to take a standard 16850 battery, accessed through a compartment on the side. So adding a higher capacity battery or carrying spares is possible.

Overall, it's an upper end emergency radio with some pros but also some very unfortunate and disappointing cons.Pros:- all the bands you'd want at this price point- lit display is readable- solar panel is not half bad! Keep it on a window sill and it'll stay charged forever.- hand crank is fairly efficient and performant- includes an 18650 (see con below however)- reasonably well built (but see con below)Cons- the battery and battery compartment. What a disappointment in otherwise a well thought out effort. The battery compartment is sealed with a screw. The thread is plastic so it'll wear out, and needless to say the radio has no place on the body to attach and store the diminutive and easily lost screwdriver. Yes the compartment cover is intended to provide a seal but this is solvable with other closure designs that only take a bit more design effort. So, strike 1 for the lazy door.- The 18650 was fairly low capacity, I think about 2.2Ah, so I thought that's fine I'll throw a 3.5Ah cell in there, this isn't a high drain device anyway. Well it turns out the radio uses and includes a cell slightly shorter than the typical 18650. Use a standard cell and it's just long enough to sometimes prevent a continuity switch on the radio from making proper contact with the battery compartment door, preventing the radio from powering on. I believe I'll be able to remedy this with some work but it's disappointing.- Finally, the radio also includes an allowance for three AAA cells. When they are inserted, the unit will not charge the 18650 near as I can tell. This is not a true dual battery supply radio.Anyhow, it's serviceable, in fact fairly good aside from the issues, so I'll hang on to it. It's probably the best of the emergency radios out there, even if it's not perfect.

So you purchase an all band weather radio from Eton that has an American Red Cross emblem on it. You know just a what if radio to keep in your vehicle just in case. The instructions include a directive if not letting the radio some into contact with h20. Guess I’m not so bright buying this emergency type all band radio eh?
