Choosing a radio

Three questions decide it.

  1. 01 What do you need to hear? The NOAA weather band carries National Weather Service forecasts and warnings. AM reaches furthest at night; FM is clearer near a city.
  2. 02 How will you keep it charged? Charge it at home by USB. Solar and a hand crank are backups that stretch that charge when the grid is down, not fast chargers.
  3. 03 Should it charge your phone? A built-in power bank turns the radio into your phone's backup. Compare watt-hours, not only milliamp-hours.
