- Does it receive FM or weather stations?
- No. It is an AM-only radio, so it will not pick up FM music stations or NOAA weather broadcasts. For alerts, you need a multi-band emergency radio.
- How long does the crank take to charge it?
- Cranking is slow and best used to top up the battery or get a few minutes of listening. Expect to crank for a long stretch to fill the 2000mAh battery fully.
- Can it charge my phone?
- Yes. The 2000mAh battery works as a power bank through its USB output, but that capacity gives most phones only a partial charge.
- Does it work without batteries?
- Yes. The hand crank and solar panel generate power directly, so it can run with no batteries and no wall outlet.
- What comes in the box?
- The radio, a charging cable and a short manual. Check the listing for the exact cable type before you buy.
- Where is the YINGHUA 2000mAh Emergency Hand Crank Radio cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $42.43, as of our latest check.
