Unfortunately weather radio doesn't exist in the UK so this doesn't work. Also, it doesn't have an earphone socket as shown in the photos. There are cheaper better specified emergency radios on the market.

Rádio emergencial muito bom com ótimo acabamento

I purchased this nifty radio not for camping purposes as others wrote about, but for an added device to have in case of adverse environmental impacts such as from looming climate change consequences or possibly from increasing political unrest conflicts both from other countries and internally or just at being stranded somewhere. The first things I noticed about this radio were its color and small size. It’s green shade of color perfectly matched the portable generator I also owned and the metal storage case for selected tools to use in certain emergency situations. So, the radio fits right in with the color scheme of my emergency equipped devices! Also, the radio was significantly smaller than what I expected. This lent itself to not just sitting fixed in one place but being very portable and light weight enough to easily move around as needed. Just as you would normally have a fire extinguisher around just in case, so too having this emergency radio is a “no brainer”. I understand in an emergency, radio stations will keep broadcasting due to their generators and battery backup providing needed information, continual updates and advice to get through the emergency. So too one would need a radio just as well capable of picking up the important broadcasts during power outages. And this radio does just that and being capable of a lot more. I won’t describe all the features here, as other reviewers have done so. But I will comment on the features as I have experienced in trying out the radio. Yes, the tuned radio stations are exceptionally crystal clear! Yes, when I select for the specific government weather broadcast station in my area, it is very fine and stable. The unit draws solar power in well for recharging to operate once being properly positioned to the sun. The instructions say about five minutes of hand crank to operate the radio. In fact, I would say about just two minutes of light cranking operates the radio for some time and about four minutes is enough to sufficiently power its added light to full brightness. And the light is very bright! It is quite impressive compared to other outside lighting devices. Lights up a big wide area! Very comforting. The battery that can be charged up is 2,000 Mah is a very substantial load, considering a typical battery would be around 1,200 to 1,500 Mah. It’s quite a lot of juice for being able to charge up phones or tablets connected to its usb ports. The radio has a decent quality strap and a small compass on it, which surprisingly is accurate (when I compared it next to a profession compass) even though it is in fairly proximity to the radio itself. The whole radio unit seems substantially well built. The emergency tone alert is quite loud to alert someone of your needed assistance! As an aside, I remember seeing New Orleans become flooded without adequate assistance to those stranded for weeks and thinking I am fairly safe within NYC region. That is until Hurricane Sandy struck and there became significant power outages throughout the area, the subway tunnels were flooded, and I couldn’t get gas pumped here for about three weeks after. So actually, I really do think this radio would even make a terrific practical gift for loved ones or just anyone you care enough about If after you have one for yourself, see its potential usefulness and then in turn provide for others. It is something to give to show you really care about their well-being. Everyone is potentially vulnerable to an emergency situation. I certainly hope nothing unfortunate would occur in terms of an emergency, but this unit with all its built-in features has the potential to provide relief and comfort to those caught up during an emergency and I guess the individuals using it would afterwards be profusely thankful for having been provided with one. ‘Just sayin. P.S. The manual is fairly extensive because of all the integrated features and you should charge it up for about six hours at the beginning from out of the box.

UKW Empfang ist sehr gut, Wetterdaten kann man nicht empfangen.der Rest ist wie im Netz beschrieben gut. Nur der Zeiger für die Skala ist bei meinem Gerät schief, stört mich aber nicht.

Genial. Funciona perfectamente además carga de verdad con el sol se oye muy alto y es como de llevarla. Aparte lleva muchas funciones para el precio que vale está fenomenal la recomiendo
