Overview
The Midland ER310 is a four-way-powered emergency radio that combines AM/FM/NOAA reception with a built-in 2600 mAh battery, a 130-lumen flashlight, and a USB output for topping off devices. It's built for power outages, severe weather, and off-grid camp use.
Key features
- Four power sources: hand crank, solar panel, Micro USB, or 6 AA cells
- 2600 mAh lithium battery runs the radio up to 32 hours per charge
- AM, FM, and all 7 NOAA weather channels with auto Weather Scan + alert
- 130-lumen Cree LED flashlight with low/high and SOS Morse modes
- USB output to top off a phone, plus an ultrasonic dog whistle
Use cases
Buyers keep the ER310 in emergency kits for severe weather and power outages, and overlanders run it as an off-grid camp radio that recharges itself from the crank and sun. The USB output makes it a backup power source when a phone runs flat away from a wall outlet.

Does it pick up NOAA weather alerts on its own?
Yes. The Weather Scan feature sweeps the 7 NOAA channels, locks onto the strongest local one, and sounds the alert when a warning is issued for that channel.
Does it have SAME to filter alerts to just my county?
No. The ER310 is not SAME-compliant. It alerts on any warning broadcast on the channel it locks onto, which may cover several counties.
How much hand cranking does it take to use the radio?
About 1 minute of cranking gets you roughly 9 minutes of radio time. Crank and solar are slow top-ups, so charge the battery fully over USB before you head out and lean on crank/solar as backup.
Can it charge my phone?
It can push power out over USB, but it's a slow backup top-up, not a fast charger. Use it to get a dead phone alive enough for a call or text, not to recharge it from empty.
Can I run it on regular batteries?
Yes. It takes 6 AA cells as backup power for when the internal battery is flat. Pack a set before a long trip.
Can I turn the weather alert siren down?
No. The alert volume is fixed at maximum and there's no mute, so plan for a loud tone when a warning fires.
What's included in the box?
The radio with its built-in rechargeable battery, a Micro USB charging cable, and the owner's manual. AA backup cells are not included.
