The media could not be loaded. There are two completely different radios in the same external case. Get the green one. I wrote a review of the yellow version, branded LiLiANi Rd908. This review is for the HanRongDa branded HRD-908. The product description informs the shopper of some advantages: A VHF radio band, Bluetooth, MP3 play via MicroSD card, a decorative Music light bar and music play equalization. It has all that, plus an included Micro SD card with a couple of music selections, but most amazing: APP CONTROL. Download the Radio-C or Radio-CT app (depending on the phone) and you have a full featured interface to control the radio remotely, record radio onto the card, and view what song is playing. You can plug in the radio directly to your computer and copy music files to the card in the radio, or upload recordings you make. It can also operate as a computer speaker when plugged or via Bluetooth. Of course it's a weather radio with flashlight, solar charging, crank charging weather alerts, shortwave, MW, FM, clock, alarm, sleep timer, earphone jack. It can charge other devices. It's powered by two 18650 flat-top batteries (included), for a total rated capacity of 5,000 mAh. It can also operate on 3 AAA batteries (not charged by the radio) or single 14500 battery. I compared the HRD-908 to the other 15 weather radios I own, and its ability to receive weather stations was among the top radios in that category, receiving 3 different NOAA stations clearly, compared to some that just got one, or one plus 2 weakly. I thought the 5W speaker sounded good. It doesn't have a subwoofer, but midrange is strong and one would never call it tinny or weak. I've had my share if disappointments with weather radios; this one is a keeper. Read more
There are so many features crammed into this one little device! I love the solar and manual crank options for power, the ability to swap out battery types, and the radio, compass, and flashlight features. It’s compact, it comes with a screw driver holder for the screw driver, thoughtfully placed rubber stoppers for the electronic ports - I am impressed with the design! The instructions while one of the better use of the English language, is missing a few things (like how fast the battery can charge). Unfortunately, there’s probably too much packed in 😅. For example, the compass does not function… not matter what direction I point, it points that north is where the lightning logo is. The crank and the solar panel will allow you to operate the radio and flashlight.. but doesn’t really charge the batteries, or if it does, it is wicked slow. The placement of the solar panel is ingenious, maybe it needs to be bigger? The volume range goes up to 32, but the volume isn’t that loud, nor do I think you need that many increments. Read more

Well made very and very sensitive on all bands. The software is upgradable. I sent an email to the manufacturer regarding the latest version. They replied in about a week and informed me that the version in my radio is the current one. Read more

This is the second emergency radio I have. Right off, I like that this is bright yellow, so it jumps out a little more in dark conditions wherever you keep it. It has all the ports you need, and tunes fine with the long antenna. I keep this defaulted to the weather band, so I can listen to local weather and lake conditions before heading out for hikes. There’s a solar panel and hand crank so you can charge under any conditions, which means you always have a way to keep your cell phone charged during prolonged power outages. You’ll need to hang on to the instructions until you’ve mastered all of the features. Even after frequent use for the first week, I forgot how to use some of the buttons, which need long/short presses to do different things. I was happy to see the instructions listed a way you can auto tune – it will run through and save all local channels on AM and FM frequencies so you don’t have to manually tune them, and can just hit the up/down arrows. It has a compass and multi level flashlight, and has an SOS alarm. The flashlight isn’t the brightest – my other unit has this beat by a mile here. But it’s fine for my needs, as I’m not exactly living off grid. The alarm is pretty loud and will definitely attract attention, but it’s a lot less obnoxious than my other unit, which is absolutely ear splitting. It has two small metal hooks that allow you to hang this just about anywhere – you can tie it to a pack, hook it on the back of your Subaru, or anywhere in your campsite. It’s super compact and lightweight, and is a durable plastic build that is great for travel. It comes with an itty bitty flathead screwdriver that pops in and out of the side, but I haven’t figured out what this is for. The casing opens using a Phillips, so it doesn’t work for that. I live in an area where tornadoes and derichos are possible, so I feel better having two of these around (one in the basement and one bedside). This is a good, versatile unit, and is half the cost of my other one. So I’d say if you’re really planning to go off-grid or live in a very remote area, you may want to invest in one that is on the higher end. But if you have a strict budget, are a casual camper, or are just using for your home during occasional emergencies, then this is a perfectly solid option to have. Read more
