I don’t care where you get one but please make sure you have an Emergency Radio
in case of bad weather. This is one that I found on Amazon but the link will take you to a whole page of them so you can go with the features you want. Things your radio NEEDS to have!
1. Crank Power

This one is a great value at half of retail cost and has everything you need in a radio!
Here are the features for the one featured above:
