Hey, sir...can you recommend a good emergency radio? One that can play am/fm and weather? Not the kind that only has earphones...

There's so many choices out there, it's mostly a matter of preference. There are specialized radios that can receive localized broadcasts, or warn of lightning strikes, or make coffee. I'd also recommed something like the Freeplay, which is plain ol' AM-FM, but it has a built in crank generator, as well as rechargeable batteries and a solar panel. In an emergency, most stations still on the air will switch over to emergency broadcasts.

Here's as good a place to start as any. Weatherradiostore.com
