The Midland ER50 is an emergency radio that receives NOAA weather information and National Weather Service alerts. It gives both visual and audio alerts. It also has a digital AM/FM radio with a clock.
It can be powered three ways: a solar panel, a hand crank, or a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The solar panel charges the internal battery in direct sunlight. The hand crank gives a short charge during a power outage.
The built-in flashlight uses a Cree LED and has low and high brightness settings. An SOS strobe beacon flashes Morse code to signal for help. A large backlit LCD display makes the screen easy to read, and a wrist lanyard is included for carrying.
