Is saying:
The FR200 operates from a wind-up generator, 4.5VDC [ - ] or 3 AA cells. The generator charges the
supplied, replaceable NiCad cells. Two turns per second for 90 seconds will provide
40 to 60 minutes
of operation. This radio features analog tuning with a concentric Fine Tune knob.

So "Universal radio" informations at:

are not correct ?

The original built-in NiCad pack inside Grundig FRG 200 receiver
should be replaced with an aproptiate NiMh battery pack.

Hi,

After this power failure I'm seriously thinking about getting one of
these
since they only cost $50 here in Canada. I was lucky that my batteries
in my
DX-398 and 400PE were charged up and that we didn't go too long without
power. I suppose back up batteries may be cheaper but I'd like to hear
any
opinions anyone may have of this thing.
