It is being sold by Restoration Hardware (www.restorationhardware.com) for
$49.99 plus shipping. I haven't checked the local RH store to see if it
is available that way.

It appears to be a re-tooling of the FR-250, with an LED light, siren and
cell phone charger in addition to the radio.

Universal Radio also sells the FR-300, which is the same radio, but with
TV audio and weather band replacing the SW coverage.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I've already been advised of Restoration
Hardware and have purchased an FR250 from them. (See an anecdotal
review I provided on this group on 11-28-04). I notice now that
www.grundigradio.com website now also offers the radio on their
re-vamped site. (Although they offer the Eton 'version/logo').
Regardless, I found it a fun radio to play with and would be good for
camping activities and such -- although slightly a bit large to haul
on your backpack!
