And the pack-an-AM-radio approach is likely to fall victim to old batteries. Low probability emergency equipment people are likely to forget about.
And a common use case for this would be people evacuating a disaster area. Being able to put up a simple transmitter with localized instructions would be a very good thing. As it stands there are government transmitters out there running looped broadcasts with general information and closure information.
- bombela 2y agoYou can buy an emergency AM radio, fully integrated with a lithium battery, a hand crank, a tiny solar panel, a flashlight. It can also charge your phone.
