- How do you charge this radio?
- Three ways: a USB cable, the hand crank, or the solar panel on top. The crank and solar panel are slow, so use USB when you have power.

- Yes. The 5000mAh Li-ion battery has a USB output that can top up a phone in an emergency, though it will not fully charge a large phone more than once.

- It tunes the NOAA weather band, so you can hear forecasts and alerts where the signal reaches. It does not decode SAME digital alerts automatically.
- Is it good for camping and hiking?
- It works for car camping and base camps, but it is bulky for backpacking. A lighter radio or phone may suit long hikes better.
- What is in the box?
- The radio with its built-in 5000mAh battery, a USB charging cable and a wrist strap. It does not include a wall adapter.
- Does it need batteries?
