There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It is small, light, and rugged. Buttons ad display are clear if you have good vision.
If you need reading glasses you should get the larger FR3 radio with a larger display and more clear buttons.
The solar and crank charging options work but are not intended to provide a lot of power.
This will not support binge watching netlix during a blackout ;-)
The solar panel will take a day or two to fully charge. If you want to quickly charge a phone you need 2 to 3 square feet of solar cells
the crank takes hours to fully charge. Either method will give quickly minutes of radio usage or emergency phone charging.
The battery is smaller than most phone batteries so it may drain completely and only partially charge a phone.
Overall it performs emergency functions well within the physical limits of solar panel and battery size.
Otherwise, the unit is well rounded. I did my research, and this radio is the most highly regarded unit of its type. Great reception, holds a greats charge, solar panel starts charging in poor conditions (cloudy days still prompts charging indicator), and the one LED flashlight is suprisingly bright (as in the beam has no problem at all hitting my shed that is roughly 30ft from the back door with a full wall charge). Oh and excellent reception, fanaminal if you take into consideration the size of the unit.
I cannot vouch for its durability yet simply because I'm not about to tourcher my brand new toy, but reviews on the internet say if it gets waterlogged, simply let it dry in the sun for a couple days or bake it like you would your phone then it seems to boot back up without much problem beyound the screen becoming slightly faulty. Drop tourcher reviews seem promising aswell. Some people have reported that this radio has fallen out of there second story apartment window onto concrete and the only damage to report was to the protective rubber and plastic on the outside.
All around an exelent product! The only thing that I'd like to see change about it is a higher mAmp/hr battery, and better waterproofing beyound splash proof rating. However, the battery seems plenty for the unit and its uses, but I'd buy it again even for anlittle more if it ment a totally water proof model up to, say, 3 fathoms.
Stop looking for a backpacking radio, buy this one. You won't be disappointed. 👍

La manecilla carga bien al igual que la carga a toma corriente. Carga pésimo con el panel solar es más eficaz la manecilla. Pésimo power ban se carga menos del 10 % de batería y se descarga el equipo por completo.
El envío fue en el tiempo esperado.
