Review Rocam AM FM SW NOAA Weather alert emergency radio 5000 mAh battery solar crank radio

Great for emergencies, not so great for Shortwave

[@lakrfan4980]

I believe that for what this radio is, it does a good job and sells at a reasonable price. Most people will buy this radio for it's emergency capability and not for it's shortwave sensitivity.

I BOUGHT THIS RADIO I WILL HAVE IT TOMMOROW ICE RADIO GOOD PRICE TOO.

In real emergency you need shortwaves the most!

In the UK the exact same radio is branded DAB+, it's branded under different names in other parts of Europe. Yours is branded Rocam but Rocam has nothing to do with this item. Its a generic mass market production item from Xiachung China. It works very well with amazing power and charging options, AAA batteries, Solar Power, hand-crank, USB, elastic band! Worth the £50. I like the wind-up feature the best, it reminds me of the _BayGen_ first hand-crank radio to hit the market several decades ago. Radios are common in Africa but batteries are not, hence the _BayGen_ cornered that niche end of the market making its inventor quite wealthy.

This is also branded Raddy SH-905 thanks for the review this helped with my decision

[@grandcanyon2]

i have the same exact radio its works well love the features even got one for my mother as a gift.

[@SonOfAnders73]

how efficient are the batteries with all that led and does the charge crank work ? also can the solar keep it running ? these are the questions we need answering

[@HandcraftedGourds]

It’s been plugged in since opening it- I put 3 brand new duracell triple A batteries. Nothing even lights up when power button is pushed.

[@davidsradioroom9678]

It doesn't seem to be great for shortwave, but otherwise, it looks like a good radio. I like the fact that it will take AAA batteries.

[@TamaraGrace]

Answers my question.... I really love my radio but the fact I don't get notified when imminent weather is approaching, or public broadcast capabilities, kinda sucks. I've had this for about a year and thought I wasn't using the full capabilities.

[@billyjohnson1286]

I have this model! It's a great radio! As far as the shortwave I do wish that it had memory to save frequencies that I listen to!

[@MatthewSuffidy]

Someone is selling one of those near me and I am really interested in the crank to usb manual charging, which no one is really reviewing.

[@port443p]

This looks like an "upgrade" version of the Midland radio, which has no SW band. ER310

[@mazdaman1982]

And I just bought one of these on Amazon yesterday grrr

[@lakrfan4980]

I like this radio review but you seem to place a lot of emphasis on the short wave band that most people will seldom use anyway. For emergency purposes it is a fine radio.

[@OfficialSWLchannel]

people who buy this radio will want shortwave reception, or else they will just get a standard emergency radio with only AM FM

[@lakrfan4980]

@@OfficialSWLchannel The radio will be bought for AM/FM/Wx reception and the power options, SW - no.

[@kwdavids1]

Also branded Mesqool.

[@greggaieck4808]

MW was almost non functional on mine. Also by the time I can tune a shortwave station, it's off the air.

[@saritaojeda1212]

We have this and cannot tune or use the volume when the batteries are in. Cant seem to figure out why. Any helpful tips would be great!
