So far this has been just what I needed. My primary purpose was as a receiver for the FM signal at the drive-in theater, avoiding any car battery drain. The charge on the included battery is great. And the light on it has already come in hand.

The radio is very good but the battery does not last as long as the specifications say. For the rest, everything is fine.

If you need this device, once you have the local station you need your all set. Hand crank eliminates charging worries.
