This would be a pretty niffy device to have on hand while venturing into the woods. You will never need to worry about your two-way radios becoming just added weight with dead batteries. Just use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries and your Eton FR1000 can double as a battery charger. If they added solar as another means of recharging, that would make it an ultimate survival device (plus replace all plastic with carbon fiber and or titanium but that might be asking too much).
