Good radio reception but no backup lithium-ion battery.

Good radio reception but the lithium ion backup battery doesn't hold a charge very long, it will discharge in about 1 week. The charging connector from the wall socket is mentioned in the instructions but is not included in the kit. Manual start takes a long time, so does solar charging, a good 6-8 hours, but it's nothing to do with work, I just step aside when I know it won't rain about once a week. I would keep a good supply of good quality AAA batteries handy as he will eat those too. I…

I love the concept but it's a failure. Send me another one and I'll try again. I paid full price.

I like this little radio. It takes a little time to understand, though. 3 AA batteries (not included), Li-ion battery that can be charged with USB port, solar power and hand crank.

Great deal at $25. The emergency call function is awesome!

OK. Maybe the box/packaging is cheap and the case isn't bulletproof, but overall it's a good deal. Firstly, the alert mode is just great: you don't need to tune into the weather channel - just extend the antenna, press the button and that's it. You can even leave the frequency band selection on FM or AM!. The radio will scan ALL 7 weather channels (LED will flash when scanning all channels) and upon receipt of an alert a very loud siren will sound followed by an audible weather report. Volume…

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
