I did explore PE's site and didn't see much.
My (older) mother told my wife that she wants an emergency radio for her birthday. I haven't asked mom for any more details. I did some quick googling and didn't see much in the way of established brand leaders except for maybe Fospower. I more than willing to go that route for $50-60 but I figured I'd at least ask for some advice from the techies here first. Along the same topic, I'm open for other thoughts or advice for someone that might be asking for the such an item.
I do think my wife said that mom was concerned about keeping her phone charged during extended power outages. Obviously, you don't need an emergency/weather radio for that and I was planning on reminding her that a her car battery will work fine for that and has a huge capacity. I was going to suggest having a dedicated 12v charger and cord to keep with the radio as well as verifying that the 12v receptacle in her car has power even with the key off.
