Slip it into your pocket or pack

I’ve had the Midland ER10VP Emergency Alert Weather Radio with flashlight for the past week. With its rounded edges and palm size, it fit comfortably in my hand and slid easily into a zippered pocket in my ski bibs when I headed out to explore a nearby park. Oh, and it weighs less than my cell phone with case. To achieve that size, it gives up the crank and solar charge options you see on the ER210; it runs on 3 AAA batteries instead. On the other hand, because of it’s size, you’re more likely to take it with you on a hike or toss it into a pack. You can tune into AM, FM , or the WX weather band, the latter offering nearly nationwide coverage. There is a headphone jack if you want to listen to the radio while at an outdoor event. Sound quality is similar to the ER210.
Take this along when you’re heading out on the water or the woods and it will sound an alarm with weather warnings and watches for your area. It’s great for regions where you might not have cell phone coverage. An early warning can make all the difference. Turn off the weather alert standby function when you don’t need it to preserve battery life; I found battery life dropped to a less than a week in standby mode. That included a period with a couple of alerts with battery and strobe light. Rechargeable batteries will mitigate this one issue. Oh, and you can’t beat the price!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for outdoorsmen!

Working as a full-time photographer in the outdoor industry requires that I know weather conditions at all times. Whether this is for pre-planning a photoshoot or knowing what I need to do for shelters while camping.
The ER10 is the perfect sized emergency radio to toss into a pack and forget about until you need it. The added bonus of the flashlight & readily available AA Batteries are a nice touch too!

I bought this for my grandma to have in her nursing home! She keeps it right by her bedside so she can get weather alerts, as well as have a handy flashlight when she gets up in the middle of the night! She can also listen to the radio and keep up with her sports! This radio is super easy to use!

ER10...Everyone should carry one of these

A very capable, useful piece of equipment that can be appreciated by so many, and used in so many different fields. The backpacker, the adventurer, the prepper, the student and even the homebodies out there.
To complement their emergency line of products, Midland USA have introduced the ER210’s newer and littler sibling…the ER10 Emergency Alert AM FM Weather Radio.
The ER10 is small in general size compared to the ER210. It may have a few less features but it is by no means a less capable radio. It retains the brilliant NOAA National Weather Alert system, clock, AM/FM radio frequencies, LED Flashlight with Hi/Lo/Strobe capability, a headphone jack and the easily seen bright red case coloring. It is powered by 3 AA batteries (included). The crank option and rechargeable battery option on the ER-210 are omitted but it allows the ER10 to be considerably smaller and more compact. The ER10 will fit easily into a purse, coat or backpack pocket and even in a cargo pant pocket. Radio reception is on par with the bigger ER-210 and the user interface is the same, making transitioning from one radio to the other a breeze. Its size is reminiscent of the little transistor radios from when I was a young boy (many years ago).
I would occasionally carry the ER-210 during my trips out of town, just in case something happened and I would need vital safety information. Since receiving the ER10, I find myself carrying and using it daily. Its smaller size is a bonus and its features are equally enjoyable as the bigger ER-210, so much that I now leave the ER-210 packed in my emergency communication hard case along with the Midland USA GXT1000VP4 radios, ready for the next power outage/disaster.
The ER10 should be an everyday carry item for everyone. Mobile phones are now so much a part of everyday life but their form, function and infrastructure can be fragile in so many ways. Having local news and local emergency weather information available and at hand is often ignored or dismissed. Carry one of the brilliant little ER10 Emergency Alert AM FM Weather Radios with you and when that moment we all hope doesn’t happen, happens…..you’ll be glad you have it with you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small but Mighty

The smaller brother to the ER210 but with the all same great features. It’s small enough to put in your pants pocket or easily carry with you on a hike. It's powered by 3 (AA) batteries compared to the rechargeable battery of the ER210. It has a great sounding speaker and also comes with a headphone jack.Its a great "compact" edition to your emergency preparedness supplies.
