- Does it really work without power?
- Yes. The hand crank and solar panel generate power on their own, so the radio and flashlight work during an outage. Cranking is slow, so treat it as a backup rather than a main charger.
- Can it charge my phone?
- It has a USB output for charging compatible phones. The 2000mAh battery holds limited charge, so expect a partial top-up, not a full recharge of a large phone.
- What weather channels does it receive?
- It tunes the NOAA weather band from 162.400 to 162.550 MHz, along with AM 520-1710 kHz and FM 87-108 MHz. Coverage depends on your distance from a NOAA transmitter.
- Is it waterproof?
- It carries an IPX3 rating, which means it shrugs off light rain and spray. Do not submerge it or leave it out in heavy rain.
- How long does the battery last?
- The 2000mAh battery runs the radio for hours at moderate volume, less with the flashlight on. Recharge it by USB-C before a trip and top it up with the crank or sun if needed.
- What comes in the box?
- The radio with its built-in battery, a telescoping antenna and a charging cable. Check the listing for the exact cable type included.
