Check out this gift idea. The American Red Cross FR150 Microlink Solar-Powered, Self-Powered AM/FM/Weatherband Portable Radio with Flashlight and Cell Phone Charger offers some great features in a compact design. This ultra-portable device is ideal for when he's roughing it or as part of any emergency-preparedness kit. The user can turn the hand crank to power the unit, capture the sun’s energy and run it on solar power, or use an optional AC power supply (not included). Along with the AM, FM and NOAA Weather Band tuners, he can also tune in to the FCC and EAS public alert systems. It can also be used as a flashlight and cell phone charger.
A very, versatile little device. A great gift idea for him.
