- Does it charge a phone wirelessly?
- Yes. It has a wireless charging pad on top for compatible phones, and a USB port for wired charging.
- Can it run without sun or batteries?
- Yes. The hand crank generates power for the radio and light when the battery is empty and there is no sun.
- How good is shortwave on this radio?
- Basic. It receives shortwave, but tuning is coarse and signals drift, so it is not a substitute for a dedicated shortwave set.
- What can I listen to?
- AM and shortwave broadcasts, plus anything streamed from a phone over Bluetooth.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. It is a portable indoor and campsite radio, not a waterproof marine or weatherproof model.
- Who is it for?
- Households and campers who want one backup device that receives radio, lights a room and tops up a phone.
- Where is the SUPERSONIC SC-1180BT Solarwave Solar Emergency Radio cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $31.99, as of our latest check.
