Review on πŸ”‹ Smart-US Green Solar Powered Hand-cranked Power Radio, LED Flashlights & Siren - Perfect for Hunting, Patrols, Camping, Hiking, Night Riding & Emergency Preparedness by Tim Harrington

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad compact, but the poor AM selectivity bothers me a bit.

Poor AM selectivity, no 50kHz coverage on AM between 640-690kHz. I understand the lowest common denominator, but basic AM selectivity with DSP should no longer be an issue as it has been 16 years since DSP was introduced and more than enough time to correct most if not all of the shortcomings in DSP tuning systems remedy. If it had better weak signal selectivity, it would be a passable radio, although it's not particularly loud in stations for the 500mAh internal battery.

Pros
  • Radio not working? No problem. In the event of a power failure, charging can be carried out using solar power or a hand crank.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
