Solar & Hand Crank Emergency Radio with DAB+/DAB/FM, 5000mAh Power Bank, LCD Display, USB Charging, Flashlight & Reading Lamp - Portable Survival Radio for Camping, Hiking, Emergencies & Outdoor Adventures (Blue)

Good points:- Picks up all the local DAB, DAB+ & FM stations around me.- Sound quality is reasonable given the small speaker size.- Headphone output sounds like it is Stereo, but no indication on screen what stations are in Stereo.- Easy enough to tune. Need to hold a button before you access or store a pre-set but that's easy enough when you get used to it. LED lights & LED torch are also reasonable.- Battery life is brilliant. Ran for over 20 hours with DAB radio at 25% volume.- The battery is easily replaced as well, being a common 21700 lithium cell, so plus points for long term repairability.- Charges on micro USB connector. Not the quickest at charging but fine for the use case it has.Tested the 3xAAA battery backup by pulling the main lithium cell and it automatically went on to use the AAA batteries, so this radio will always work as long as you have AAA cells to hand. Shame the battery cover for the lithium cell is held in place with a small tri-wing screw rather than a simple 000 pozi screw.Not quite so good:Tried the crank and it seems to be charging the lithium battery but very slowly. It'll get the radio going in an emergency. It's not like Trevor Baylis's original Baygen/Freeplay wind up radio (using a clockwork mainspring) which would run for about 50 mins on 60 turns of the handle.The solar panel on this radio is very much a token gesture and might help keep the battery in condition to prevent natural discharge over time, but it'll need to be in cloudless direct sunlight for days to stand any chance of charging the battery to any real extent.No obvious way to select Mono on a weak Stereo FM signal to reduce hiss and no indication within DAB if a station is Mono or Stereo.5V USB output drops to 3.5V when using the radio in DAB Mode. I'd suggest switching the radio off if you need to use the USB output to charge a phone in an emergency. With radio completely off (not in standby) it'll supply 4.94v @ 0.51A (tested with a USB power monitor) so it is capable of slowly charging a phone.The top set of LED lights you might use to read a book with, does have a slight flicker when the radio is on in time with the music. Could probably do with a bigger capacitor inside that supplies power to the LEDs to mitigate that flicker when the radio is on. Might think of doing that mod myself if there's any spare space inside the case.The biggest gripe with the radio, the red siren button! It's too easy to accidentally press it. Could have been better hidden as a slider switch under the rubber charging cover perhaps? Siren isn't that loud but still makes you jump if you accidentally press the button. The tiny flashing red LED is very much a token gesture.Suggestion to the manufacturer! Can you make a similar radio to this, but also include MW, LW & SW bands and with a bigger solar panel & better hand crank? The UK still has a few MW (AM) stations, BBC Radio 4 is still on 198kHz Long Wave (for now) and if there really was a disaster, you would want Short Wave coverage too in the one radio. Whilst I have another radio for SW, having it in this form factor would have been ideal.Overall, happy with purchase.
