Quality small emergency radio

I thought I would buy emergency radios until I realized this; I didn't expect to enjoy this radio so much. A bit pricey for the features included compared to some other emergency radios but great build quality, cool design and seems more solid and durable than others. nice little speaker with surprisingly rich/smooth sound, high quality DSP chip for great AM/FM reception, NOAA/WB channels and a large easy to navigate dial that doesn't move once you put it in. It's also about 100g lighter. and slightly smaller than a few other mid-range ($30-$50) emergency radios I've considered, and includes a larger solar panel. was even better because increased capacity) plus a micro USB charger Multiple LED flashlights (although not as bright as some competitor radios) 2200mAh lithium-ion battery IPX3 waterproof in the 2020/2021 updated version Very smooth dynamo action Headphone jack Surprisingly heavy The kit includes a service carabiner. Some things that could be improved: The FM digits are VERY difficult to read (lack of contrast between red digits on a black background). reading light. A USB-C charging port instead of micro-USB would be great. A higher water resistance would be great. Todderberg did a really good and detailed review of this radio (and others) on his YouTube channel, worth watching on the fence. My Opinion: Quality radio with surprisingly good sound, reliable but with a few basic emergency features, worth a little more for higher quality. Highly recommended. Ezbnb also makes a great Portable Rechargeable AM/FM/NOAA Transistor Radio with Upgraded DSP Chip, Flashlight and SOS Signal, which is great for BOB. You should pay attention to: NOAA weather alarm radio, [New 2021] Portable AM-FM radio with the best reception and most durable transistor - 2200mAh Li-Ion battery with flashlight, SOS signal, headphone jack
