About this deal

Not only does it have a high battery capacity, but it also has multiple recharging options: solar panel, hand-crank dynamo generator, and USB type-C input. Its solar panel is larger than most radios on this list, making it charge faster even when there’s minimal sunlight.

Even though DAB radios are now more popular than AM/FM radios in the UK, there still aren’t many DAB radios that are suitable for camping. Radios with solar charging or hand cranks tend to only have AM and FM bands, not DAB. DAB radios also use more power, so batteries don’t last very long in them (usually less than 12 hours). Multiple charging options: Being able to charge the radio in several ways is useful when you don’t have access to mains power. You can’t always rely on solar power, so it’s good to have a hand crank or the option to use regular batteries as well.As long as you buy a quality solar radio, the solar panel will work and will charge the internal battery. However, you need to leave the radio in a sunny place (outside or on a windowsill).

Most of what has been described about the DE1103 on eham is accurate. I used three radio receivers as a basis for comparison,i.e. an old Brazilian analogue radio receiver that is a bit big for a portable radio and perfect as a tabletop, the Motoradio PR-M62; the SONY ICF-SW7600G and my tabletop receiver Realistic DX-440. This radio has lots of features that would be useful in emergency situations including an LED torch, a siren and a flashing alert light. Of course, the fact that it doesn’t need mains power also makes it ideal as an emergency radio. It would be a good item to have on hand in case of a power cut, or to put in a “go bag”.SOS alarm: Some radios have an alarm function which can be set off to help someone find you if you were in danger or injured. This could be a very helpful feature to have if you go hiking or walking in the wilderness. Audio quality is excellent. I hate any form of hiss in the audio sections and this radio has non. FM reception is far better than I have heard for a long time and is stereo with headphones. The speaker volume is more than adequate with 65 levels and I have mine set no higher than level 12, at high volumes there is some distortion but my ears hurt by then. My requirements were for a small HF SSB/CW receiver to replace a less than useful ATS-505, it had to be sensitive, selective. Low cost was required (as always) with ease of operation and a good pedigree. Even if your furry friend gets lost while on the trail, you can easily locate them using this radio’s ultrasound feature. Just make sure they have their dog collar with them.

The current set of batteries have lasted a week with 2-3 hours use a day so about 20+ hours using a mixture of speaker and headphones and still going strong so I'm quite happy there. Finally, its IPX3 splash-proof rating means you don’t have to worry about it getting wet during a sudden rainfall.

Hand crank – A hand crank lets you charge the radio’s battery by turning a handle. The kinetic energy gets transformed and stored. Most AM/FM solar radios have a hand crank, but DAB solar radios rarely do. LIGHTWEIGHT & PORTABLE: Small, compact and portable this radio measures just 15.6cm x 7.6cm x 5.8cm making it perfect to take out and about with you. It’s lightweight too at just 300g so you’ll hardly notice it’s in your bag! It has an antenna that can extend to 37cm to help you achieve a better signal no matter where you are. Customer’s love that this portable radio can go from home to outdoor adventure with no fuss, all you have to do is remember to take it with you.

Some, but not all, solar radios allow you to charge other devices such as phones and tablets via USB. Smartphones are quite power-hungry, so you might not be able to charge your phone more than 10-20 percent unless you’re prepared to spend hours turning the hand crank! However, that small amount of battery could make all the difference in an emergency situation. However, if you’re looking for something cheap, cheerful, and reasonably reliable, this is a fantastic piece of kit. It does need winding up pretty frequently if you’re relying on the crank charge alone – but the same can be said for most wind up radios. No obscenities, discriminatory, abusive, or other content not suitable in public or for younger readers. The Degen DE13DSP Emergency AM/FM/SW Solar Powered Radio is the perfect radio to take with you to keep in touch with the outside world whilst camping or bushing walking. The Tecsun DE13DSP Emergency AM/FM/SW Solar Powered Radio includes a inbuilt Solar Panel and Dynamo hand crank charger that allow you to recharge the internal battery or charge any device by USB or mini USB including your mobile phone.Want to make sure that you can always tune into your favorite radio shows?
