Eton has launched a new hand-crank powered survival radio, the FR1000 at CES 2008. Obviously for survivalists scared about global warming and the rising cost of Hannah Montana tickets. It doesn’t help that the UFO’s will attack when no one is looking.

The new radio sports AM/FM/2-Way GMRS radio capabilities, complete with torch, emergency siren and mobile phone charger so you can still recharge your battery if Gremlins shut off the power.

If you are in America, the model will also be able to pick up NOAA Weather channels that will alert you to big storms. The radio can be powered in four different ways: Rechargeable Ni-MH battery, Dynamo crank, 4 “AA” batteries or an AC Adapter.
