Our take on the Merkury Innovations AM FM NOAA Weather Band Radio

The Merkury Innovations AM FM NOAA Weather Band Radio is a compact emergency radio that tunes AM, FM and NOAA weather channels. It charges by hand crank or solar panel and includes a flashlight and USB output for topping up a phone. It suits campers, hikers and households preparing for storms or outages. Against rivals like the Midland ER series and Eton radios, it is simpler and lighter, with fewer tuning options and no alert override, so it is best as a backup rather than a primary emergency radio.

Questions and answers

Does it get NOAA weather alerts automatically?
No. It tunes the NOAA weather channels, but it does not have specific area message encoding, so it will not switch on or sound an alarm by itself. You have to be listening.
How long does hand cranking give you?
Cranking is slow. Expect only a few minutes of radio or light from a minute or two of turning, so treat the crank as a last resort rather than a main power source.
Can it charge a phone?
Yes, through the USB output, but the charge is small and slow. It is enough for a short call or a text, not a full phone charge.
Is it good for camping?
Yes for light use. It is compact, has a flashlight and does not need batteries, but the thin sound and slow charging limit it to casual trips.
How does it compare with a Midland emergency radio?
The Midland ER series adds automatic alerts, a better speaker and more power options. This radio is simpler and lighter but lacks those features.
What comes in the box?
The radio itself, with the crank, solar panel, flashlight and USB output built in. Check the listing for any included cable or strap.
Where is the Merkury Innovations AM FM NOAA Weather Band Radio cheapest?
At Batteries Plus, for $34.99, as of our latest check.
