Radio got very good reception on FM and weather bands in Maine. Left in light area the battery charged sufficiently so there was no need to use the crank. Overall performance was good, absolutely no complaints.
I ahow an antique car. There is never any electricity aroung. So I am able to listen to the radio and weather band and when I need it I have a lite to examine my old car. The Solar Dynamo is perfect for my life style. All the antique car owners needs one of these radios in his detail box.
