Good radio…,
This is a pretty decent radio, charges by USB cable to your computer or solar panel. The description says it can charge your cell phone, but it doesn’t tell you that you have to order a special adapter kit in order to do so.
The alarm also has no settings, so if the radio is turned off it won’t alert you when there is a watch or warning. You have to have it on, then hold down a button to silence the weather radio. Also you can’t set it to ignore watch alerts, so this thing goes off all night when there isn’t a warning. It also doesn’t silence it self so you have to get up and disable it.

|1 month after purchase radio stopped working,
……and there is no way to return it to the seller. Battery is fine, flash light comes on, but display says no batrery. You crank it and it doesn’t work.
We took the battery out, put it back again. It worked for 5 minutes and stopped working again. We cranked it for one minute, but that didn’t make it work either.
It has a usb connection. But does not come with a usb charger. We had one at home. We charged it with that and that made it work.

|Awesome!,
Everything I wanted in a weather radio. Cranked it up for a little over a minute and the radio lasted about an hour. Awesome for when the power goes out.
