                FM comes in okay but weather band is so weak it's useless. Returning this radio immediately.

                Comments about Eton FRX2 Multipurpose Radio:

                The frequency indicator broke on the first use. Radio will still change stations but you cannot tell what station you're on. I really wanted this radio to work becuase I love all the features and it does function as advertised. But with such a poor strength in the controls I can't rely on this in an emergency situation.
