It was a piece of junk, the first time that I needed it it did not work.. So I did get the 3 year protection plan with this one think it cost $4.00 more.. now got 3 ways to charge devices, keep some light on, and radio,

    Check out the Kaito 500 & 500L. These are much larger, have great reception, and have almost the entire shortwave band. The 500 can use AA batteries and the 500L can`t use AA batteries but has a high capacity lithium 18650 battery and the solar panel is big and can easily power the radio in full sun.

      @UCxXphdLJ96_WYlSOnMwXx0w I had very bad luck as a product tester with these. Glad you found a good one. If you have a lot of money see the new CCrane emergency radio. I have a tiny little folding solar panel perfect for a bugour bag. It only produces about 12 watts but that`s enough to charge or power USB devices like fans. It can be carried in a pocket and is about 7 inches long, almost 3 inches wide, is camo, and has 4 individual panels on it.
      Also have a look at the very inexpensive Tecsun R9012 true analog transistor shortwave radio. It`s a great choice for those wanting a shortwave receiver and is very small. There`s also an extremely tiny multi band receiver that gets nearly all normal radio frequencies from airplanes to weather and police that still use non digital. There are several brands who put their name on this. External simple wire antennas greatly improve performance with this. Look this up> Retekess TR105 All band Radio. Shortwave, HAM, CB Air, and AM/FM? Yes, all of them and more!

    I recently purchased this radio on Amazon and I quickly returned it for 2 reasons. The weather band reception was very poor and the SOS button stuck in the ON position when I pressed it. I encourage you not to buy this product, it is a glorified flashlight attached to a crappy radio. There are better quality emergency radios out there. Try the Kaito KA500 or KA700.

      @CharlesVanNoland 2 роки тому +4

      This is what I'm most concerned with about all of these radios - whether or not the hand crank even works at all. You should be able to use it for a few minutes at least after a few dozen cranks - light, radio, etc... From what I've been able to gather about all of these budget radios the vast majority of them have 1 star reviews because someone sat there cranking on the thing for dear life and couldn't get anything out of it. If a crank has "little resistance" that means it's not generating any power! There's no such thing as free power. A real generator pumping electrons into wherever, like a battery, is going to fight back because electrons don't want to move, especially into a battery.

    I dunno the majority if not all solar power and hand crank radios either don't work or take many days to fully charge. With today's technology there's no reason for such failures in an emergency situation. People are relying on reliability and all those introduced into the market fail in my books. We've heard many sellers talk them up but when people buy them they end up disappointed in their performance.
