The CCRadio Solar is a small digital portable radio that has all the features anyone would want in an emergency radio and more. It stays charged placed in a sunny window and the oversized solar panel means you may not need a power assist for years. Audio is a surprise; it's accurate, pleasing and has two modes. A miser mode to conserve battery power in a true emergency and a high-power mode for an even better audio experience. Reception is really good for the size. The almost brick size depth and unique UV resistant rubber perimeter is concave on the bottom which makes it inherently stable. The flashlight is above average in brightness and color because of the selected high-quality LED. It has a glow in the dark flashlight button to make it easy to find in the dark. The hand crank folded and inlaid in the back is the only visible clue that it's a durable emergency radio. The included lithium-ion battery can be recharged by wind-up, solar panel, your USB port, or optional AC power adapter (not included). When the lithium-ion battery is fully charged, the radio will run more than 50 hours or charge your phone from the approximately 50% level to 100% level. It can also be powered by (3) “AA” alkaline batteries (not included) for approximately 50 hours in low power mode or 35 hours in high power mode. Additional features include: Five memory Presets per band, lighted display, micro-USB input charging port, line-in jack, headphone jack, clock, alarm, sleep timer (120, 90, 60, 30, & 15 minutes), 1, 9, and 10kHz tuning. Weight: 1.1 lbs. Size: 6" W x 3" H x 2.25" D. 1 Year limited warranty. U.S. Based tech support. Perfect for the kitchen, gardening, camping, hiking and of course, emergencies.
