Hi Thomas:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to tell you that yesterday [January 29, 2021] Tecsun released a new model Emergency Radio. I’ve included some photos:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The GR-99 includes FM, AM and SW bands. As most of today\u2019s radios, it is also based on the DSP chip which offers good performance. It can be powered by the built-in Ni-MH battery and two AA batteries.<\/p>\n

This radio also features hand crank power generator which can charge your device such as smartphone through the micro-USB cable. In case of emergency, GR-99 with flashlight and SOS alarm can give you a hand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nearly a month ago, I helped to test the prototype of this radio and gave them my advice. Now it\u2019s great to see it on sale.<\/p>\n

At last, provide you with a photo of me, almost two years ago. I took this selfie with my radios.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh I must admit that several radio in this photo were my friends\u2019.<\/p>\n

Sincerely<\/p>\n

Mei Tao<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ha ha!!! I love<\/em> the photo, Mei Tao–absolutely brilliant!<\/p>\n

I’m happy to see that not only is Tecsun still producing an emergency radio with an analog dial (which requires less of the battery than a digital display), but also is still including the shortwave bands.<\/p>\n

Thank you very much for reporting on this early production run Tecsun radios, Mei Tao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
