Michelle K. Verified Buyer ★★★★★

We had a 3-day blackout last summer after the storms. No signal, no internet, just sitting there guessing what was happening and whether we should leave. Ordered this the week the power came back. Now it lives on the bench. If it ever happens again I'll know within minutes what to do. That peace of mind alone is worth it.

Craig B. Verified Buyer ★★★★★

My wife thought I was being overly cautious. Then a power outage knocked out the cell towers for 18 hours and she was the one who grabbed it, tuned into the emergency broadcast, and figured out what roads were open. She's not laughing anymore. Genuinely one of the most useful things we own. 👍

Tracey W. Verified Buyer ★★★★★

Got one for my mum who lives alone — she's 71 and has been through two bad storms with no idea what was happening. Walked her through it in 4 minutes, now it sits on her bench. The hand crank means she never has to worry about charging it. Feel so much better knowing she has it. 🙏

Brett H. Verified Buyer ★★★★★

Former SES volunteer. Most families overlook the same thing — not food or water, but a way to know what's actually happening. Your phone's useless when the towers go down. This picks up the emergency broadcasts that stay on when everything else cuts out. Recommended it to everyone I know with kids. 👍

How Does The SignalX™ Work?

The SignalX™ is an emergency hand crank solar radio that tells you what's happening when the power grid goes down and your phone goes dark. Turn it on, tune the dial to AM, FM, or NOAA, and within minutes you're receiving every emergency broadcast still on air in your area.

It receives AM, FM, and all 7 NOAA weather alert channels — official emergency broadcasts that run on dedicated backup power specifically so families without grid electricity can receive evacuation orders, shelter locations, road conditions, and official guidance in real time.

Three power sources. Zero excuses.

The 2000mAh rechargeable battery is your primary source — 3–5 hours of continuous broadcast on a full charge, topped up via USB whenever grid power is available.

The built-in solar panel is your passive backup — set it near a window and it charges itself continuously in any daylight without you doing anything.

The hand crank is your last-resort guarantee — 60 seconds of cranking delivers 30 minutes of broadcast with no power source required. At 2am with a flat battery, this is the feature that matters most.

Charge your phone when signal returns.

The USB output port charges your phone directly from the SignalX™'s internal battery — giving you one window of phone use the moment cell networks come back online.

LED torch with SOS mode.

Built-in LED torch for hands-free lighting during any outage. SOS strobe mode flashes the internationally recognised distress signal, visible at distance, for situations where you need to be found.

No setup. No app. No technical knowledge. No use-by date. IPX3 water resistant. Just store it somewhere you'll find it.

Product Description

The gap between your family and a crisis is smaller than you think.

The human body can last 3 weeks without food. Without information in the first 24 hours of a crisis? You'll make decisions that could cost everything.

When disaster hits — grid failure, flooding, severe storms — the first thing that disappears isn't water or food. It's communication. Cell towers lose backup power within hours. The internet goes dark. Emergency alerts stop reaching your phone. And suddenly you're sitting in your house with no idea whether this is a 6-hour fault or a 6-week collapse.

That's when people make the wrong call. They drive the wrong way. They stay when they should leave. They wait for help that isn't coming.

When the grid goes down, this keeps you informed.

The SignalX™ picks up AM, FM, and all 7 NOAA weather alert channels — broadcasts that run on dedicated backup power specifically so they can reach families without grid electricity. Within minutes of any major event, official emergency guidance is already broadcasting. Evacuation routes. Shelter locations. Road conditions. What's happening and what you should do.

While other families sit in silence guessing, yours will know.

Three power sources. Zero excuses.

The SignalX™ runs on a 2000mAh rechargeable battery, a built-in solar panel, and a hand crank — in that order. When the battery is flat and the sun isn't shining, 60 seconds of cranking delivers 30 minutes of broadcast. There is no scenario in which this device stops working.

Built for the moments you can't afford to get wrong.

At just 15cm x 8cm, the SignalX™ fits in a kitchen drawer, a go-bag, or a glove compartment. No use-by date. No maintenance. No subscription. No setup. Just store it somewhere you'll find it, and trust that it will work the day you need it.

The materials are BPA-free. The solar panel is laminated for durability. The hand crank is rated for 10,000+ cycles. The NOAA receiver is tested against all 7 broadcast frequencies.

Don't wait for the warning. Prepare now, while you still can.

Cyclone Season Essential

Living in Far North Queensland, cyclone prep is just part of life. The one thing I always struggled with during outages was not knowing what was actually happening.

Mum Uses It Every Storm

Bought one for my mum after she went through a 4-day blackout alone and had no idea what was happening or whether she should call for help. She's 74 and got it on the first go — the hand crank is foolproof. She keeps it on her bench now. The fact that it never needs charging unless she wants it to is the main thing. Peace of mind for both of us. Bought one for my mum after she went through a 4-day blackout alone and had no idea what was happening...

Power Out for 5 Days — This Was Everything

Ice storm knocked out power to our neighbourhood for 5 days in Ontario. Cell towers were down by day two. We had the SignalX™ and within minutes of tuning to the emergency station we knew what roads were passable, where warming centres were, and how long the outage was expected to last. My neighbour had nothing — she was just guessing the whole time. Worth every cent Ice storm knocked out power to our neighbourhood for 5 days in Ontario. Cell towers were down by day two....

Husband Thought I Was Overreacting

My husband thought I was being paranoid when I ordered two of these. Then we had an outage that knocked out our cell service for nearly a day and he was the one who grabbed the SignalX™ off the shelf and tuned into the emergency broadcast to figure out if we needed to leave. He's since ordered two more for the cars. She's not laughing anymore — that's me, about him My husband thought I was being paranoid when I ordered two of these. Then we had an outage that knocked...

Works Exactly as Described

Hand crank genuinely works — 60 seconds gets you a solid 30 minutes. Solar panel topped it up on the windowsill in half a day. NOAA reception is clear. Phone charging works. Everything it says it does, it does. Simple, solid, no fuss. Highly recommend just getting it done. Hand crank genuinely works — 60 seconds gets you a solid 30 minutes.

The One Thing Missing from Our Kit

We had a decent emergency kit — food, water, first aid. But after a 3-day blackout where we had no idea what was happening, I realised information was the one thing we'd missed. The SignalX™ fills that gap completely. Compact enough to forget it's there, reliable enough to trust it when you need it. We had a decent emergency kit — food, water, first aid.

Essential

After the floods last year I realised we had nothing in place for communication. Ordered 6 of these, one for each member of the family, one per go-bag. The buy 2 get 2 deal made it easy to stock up. Honestly haven't stressed about it since. Just knowing they're there is enough. After the floods last year I realised we had nothing in place for communication. Ordered 6 of these, one for...

Storm Knocked Out Towers for 2 Days

Storm took out cell towers in our area for nearly 48 hours. Had the SignalX™ on the bench - tuned to AM within about 30 seconds of the power going out. Knew it was a regional failure, knew restoration was expected within 72 hours, knew the evacuation centre locations. Made completely rational decisions the whole time. Partner was amazed.

Simple. Solid. Does What It Says.

Not a big reviewer but felt I had to write this one. We live in a cyclone-prone area and I've been through four serious outages in the last decade. The SignalX™ is the first emergency product I've owned that actually solved the right problem. You can stockpile food and water all you like. Without knowing what's happening, you still can't make good decisions. Not a big reviewer but felt I had to write this one. We live in a cyclone-prone area and I've...

Best Insurance I've Ever Bought

I'm a nurse and after seeing what contaminated water does to people I take this seriously. We had a main break in our street and a boil notice for 9 days. Used this the whole time without any issues. I've since recommended it to everyone at work. Small, light, effective — and the lifetime warranty seals the deal.

Excellent Product

After the flooding in Sevilla our water was unsafe for almost two weeks. I'd bought this six months earlier after reading about it online. My family of five used it every single day from the river behind our house. Unbelievable that something this small works this well. Every Spanish family needs one of these.

Why Your Phone Won't Save You - And This Will

The most common question we get is: "Can't I just use my phone? Here's what actually happens when a major outage hits:

Your Phone SignalX™
Works without cell signal
Works without internet
Works when battery is flat
Receives NOAA emergency alerts
Charges from sunlight
Stays working for years in storage
SignalX emergency radio stored in a kitchen drawer alongside a torch and first aid kit

SignalX emergency radio packed inside a family go-bag near a front door

SignalX emergency radio stored in a car glove compartment

Why Every Family Needs the SignalX™

With uncertainty in the world, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Most families are one storm, one grid failure, or one regional disaster away from having no way to know what's happening or what they should do.

It happens faster than you think and when it does, the information blackout hits within hours.

Your phone loses signal. Emergency alerts stop arriving. The internet goes dark. And every decision your family needs to make in the next 24 hours has to be made without any of the information that normally guides it.

The SignalX™ gives you that information back. No power. No setup. No expertise required. Just turn it on, tune to NOAA, and within minutes you know exactly what is happening and what your family should do.

Frequently asked questions

Can't I just use my phone in an emergency?

In a local fault that's fixed within a few hours — yes, your phone is fine. In a major regional grid failure, cell towers lose backup power within 4–12 hours. The internet requires powered data centres. Emergency alerts are pushed via cell signal — which is exactly what fails. The SignalX™ works completely independently of cell towers, the internet, and grid power. It's not a replacement for your phone. It's what works when your phone doesn't.

Which countries does this work in?

The SignalX™ receives AM and FM frequencies that operate worldwide. In the US, it picks up all 7 NOAA Weather Radio frequencies (162.400–162.550 MHz) — the government's 24/7 emergency broadcast network covering over 95% of the US population. In Australia, tune to ABC local radio (AM) during emergencies — the ABC network operates on backup power and is the Australian equivalent of NOAA for official emergency guidance. In the UK, tune to BBC Radio 4 (FM/LW). In Canada, tune to Environment Canada Weather Radio or CBC local AM. Wherever you are, AM radio remains the most reliable emergency broadcast medium during a grid-down event.

Does this actually receive NOAA emergency broadcasts?

Yes. The SignalX™ receives all 7 NOAA Weather Radio frequencies (162.400–162.550 MHz). NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts 24/7 across the United States and covers over 95% of the US population. During every major declared emergency — grid failures, hurricanes, wildfires, floods — NOAA continues broadcasting official guidance including evacuation routes, shelter locations, and road conditions.

How long does the hand crank actually power it?

60 seconds of cranking delivers approximately 30 minutes of broadcast at normal volume. The hand crank is not designed to be your primary power source — the solar panel and rechargeable battery handle that. The crank is your emergency fallback for when the battery is completely flat and you need information right now. In practice, it works immediately and reliably every time.

Will it work after sitting in a drawer for a year?

Yes — with one note. The internal battery will slowly self-discharge over time. We recommend a quick USB charge every 6–12 months if it's in storage. The solar panel will also passively top up the battery if the unit is near a window. The hand crank works regardless of battery state — a completely flat unit still produces power the moment you start cranking.

How many should I buy for my family?

One per household is the minimum — it covers everyone in the same location. If family members are likely to be in different locations during an emergency (workplace, school, another property), one per location is the right approach. The Buy 2 Get 2 bundle is the most popular option for families with multiple locations or adults wanting one in each car.

Is it easy enough for elderly relatives to use?

Yes. Operation is as simple as turning a dial and pressing a button. The hand crank requires no technical knowledge. We specifically designed the quick-start guide for people who don't want to read a manual in a crisis — including older family members and children. The most common feedback from buyers who got one for an elderly parent is that setup took under 5 minutes.

What if I'm not happy with it?

You have 30 days to try it. If for any reason you're not completely satisfied — or if it doesn't perform exactly as described — contact us for a full refund, no questions asked. No forms, no restocking fees, no runaround.
