“You once recommended some alternatives to the CCrane Solar Observer<\/a>. In looking at the RunningSnail<\/a> you initially recommended, I came across this other upgraded version<\/a> (with a slightly larger battery bank, 2000 mAh, vs. 1000 mAh).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>[…]I did pick up the RegeMoudal Emergency Solar Hand Crank Radio. It looks like it’s made for a couple different companies\/brands.<\/p>\n

So far I like it a lot, for an emergency radio. Audio is pretty good for a radio in this price range.<\/p>\n

[…]I’ve been generally happy with the WX reception. AM and FM are generally clear, if not a bit tinny, but that is dependent on the clarity of the station to begin with as the stronger stations come in smooth and balanced.<\/p>\n

The flashlight and reading light are bright and functional LED; the flip up reading light is a really nice addition and would work well in a tent or simply in a power outage.<\/p>\n

I haven’t tested it yet, but I bought this unit because of the 2000 mAH battery bank. I’ve got multiple dedicated, higher capacity battery banks, but I figured having one more can’t hurt.<\/p>\n

My only wish would be a slightly longer antenna (this one is only nine inches).<\/p>\n

I’m currently using rechargable AAA batteries but it comes with a micro USB and has both micro and regular USB inputs for charging, as well as a plug for a headset.<\/p>\n

Neat little rig and worth having in the bag for emergencies or power outages. All in all, this is a great emergency radio for under $30 bucks.”<\/p>\n

Thank you, Doug.\u00a0 I agree with you: the increased capacity of the internal battery is actually a major plus. I’m also happy to hear that the LED lighting is functional.\u00a0 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a model with a pop-up light on top. Thanks for sharing your review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
