First impressions are that the radio has some weight which makes it look well built. I put in 3 lithium ion batteries which are not included. Try a flashlight that has sufficient brightness. The radio also has a reading light that sits under the solar cell (which is used to charge the battery). Maybe they can shoot it in the future too. There is a selector switch that lets you choose between standard AA batteries and lithium ion batteries. The unit has a 5V DC input should you wish the radio to be DC powered. There is a handle for charging lithium-ion batteries. Just make sure the switch is in the lithium-ion position and not the AA battery position. The volume of the radio is quite good, without distortion. I cranked it up full and the sound quality was good. There is a headphone output. I used my standard stereo headphones. loyalty was good. Although not stereo, the sound quality is good. Maybe you could turn on stereo in the future, but who needs a stereo in an emergency. You just need to be able to tune in and listen to the stations. FM reception is good with a telescopic antenna. You must turn the tuning knob slowly as tuning is critical. Once at the transmitter, the green tuning indicator will illuminate. If you are not 100% on the station, the tuning indicator may flash. AM reception was adequate and reception really depends on the distribution. Again, slow tuning is critical or you'll miss stations. Since this is AM, the antenna is usually a rod antenna that sits inside the radio. This antenna is directional, so as with any AM radio, sometimes you may need to rotate the radio for better reception. Also, when using AM, make sure you stay away from anything that may interfere with reception, such as computers or other devices that may cause interference. This applies to all AM radio stations. Again, the green light stays on once you're at the station. I've also tried AM radio in the evenings when long-distance distribution is usually good. I live in New Jersey and was able to receive Zoomer Radio, 740 AM from Toronto, Canada, and WBAL from Baltimore, Maryland. The WB area is great for weather reports. It came crystal clear for the weather forecast. The SOS function is quite loud and the flashlight flashes. Will definitely catch someone's attention. All in all, this is a decent little radio for the price.
