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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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 Жыл бұрын
people who buy this radio will want shortwave reception, or else they will just get a standard emergency radio with only AM FM
@lakrfan4980 Жыл бұрын
@@OfficialSWLchannel The radio will be bought for AM/FM/Wx reception and the power options, SW - no.
