Hi to everyone, just found this site.
Can anyone refer a good emergency radio, crank and or solar. Good quality and resonable price?

Welcome home.

There are several threads on them. Some write ups are a little dated.

A radio off of Amazon with a crank, small solar panel, AM/FM bands and flashlight will start at about $25. You can spend a bit more and get more bands, possibly more rugged, etc. They're really so cheap you can buy one and a backup, so quality isn't much of an issue as long as the reception is okay. Models change a bit over time. Newer ones have USB ports for charging as well. If you're willing to forego the crank, etc. you can get something smaller.
