[Electronics-talk] Pertable weather radios

[Tony Sohl]

Hi all, Are you looking for a portable weather radio that's easy 
to use?

Well I've got just the thing for you.  Sea Crane Inc has a 
portable radio which has AM, FM and wather band.  The radio also 
allows you the ability to listen to music in stereo.

All the features on the radio are completely accessible, except 
for the clock.  It has 5 preset buttons on the front of the radio 
just below the display.  On the very top of the radio, there is a 
round flat button which is the power button.

To the left of the power button is the volume control.  Just to 
the left of the volume control is the earphone jack.  On the 
right side of the radio, there are 2 round buttons, one flat 
round button and one round button with a dot in the middle of the 
button.

The first button is the select button.  You can switch between 
AM, FM and weather band.

The button with the dot on it activates lock which unfortunately 
is not accessible at all.

Below the 2 buttons on the right side, there is a slider switch 
and it's the lock switch.

On the left side of the radio there is a 3 position switch.  The 
top position is stereo mode, the second position is mono mode.  
The bottom position on the 3 position switch is to use the built 
in speaker.

On the right side just below the power button are 2 round buttons 
and both buttons are station select buttons.

In order to save a preset, find the station you want and then 
hold one of the preset buttons for a few seconds and it will beep 
to let you know that the preset was stored successfully.

One thing I forgot to mention is the battery door is on the back 
side of the radio on the left of the belt clip.  This unit takes 
2 double A batteries.

If the batteries die, then you will not loose your presets.  For
