Review: Great product, good for its intended purpose - This a nice small radio. It works well and sounds better than you would expect from the size of it. The crank will charge a dead battery to operate the radio quite a few minutes with just a couple minutes cranking. The solar charger works but no where near as fast as the crank and it needs a lot of direct sunlight outside. Not the dash of a hot car left in the parking lot. That is too much. The radio will only take the supplied rechargeable battery, no off the shelf alkaline AA or AAA or whatever will work. There is no AC recharge option supplied but they do supply a USB 2.0 Mini-B 5 Pin to USB 2.0 Type A cable. You cannot use a regular USB type A to type A cable. The USB Type A port on the radio is only used to charge a cell phone or other USB device from the radio it that device and not to charge the radio itself. That way you can crank charge or use the radio's battery in order to charge a cell phone in an emergency. The charging port for the radio battery is the mini-B USB 5 pin only. If the charge light, lights up you know you have it connected properly. You can easily obtain, or more likely already have a cell phone AC adapter that the USB regular Type A connector can plug into. Any AC or USB port that the supplied cable can plug into is fine. Reception is ok but weather channel (FM) and FM seem to be a bit weak. AM I am not sure of as I have not tested it yet. Then again this is an emergency radio and it is sufficient for that. Switching between weather alert mode and regular operation can be a bit confusing if you do not use this all the time. Setting the presets and using them is somewhat the same. All and all I really like this small radio, it is great for what it is designed to do and the price. Two hints: (Yes these are my pet peeves. Lol) 1. This should be common knowledge but I find that too many people don't get it. The metal extendable antenna is only used for FM and the weather channels, which by the way are also FM. The AM radio antenna is inside the radio and "tuned" by physically turning the radio itself. This is true for almost all AM/FM radios. 2. AM radio is very, very susceptible to any electrical impulse interference, like computers and pretty much anything electronic. Move the radio away from these things in order for it to work well. 3. Please do not collapse the extendable antenna from its weakest point which is the top. Grab the first bottom extended section and push each section at a time into the very bottom section, this will prevent you from joining those with the bent and broken antennas.
Review: A Winner! - Sangean MMR-88 It’s hard to give a proper review of electronics. Like 99.999% of you, I paid for the item outright. It wasn’t given to me to review. A proper review would allow me to compare it to other Mfg's products in the same price range (a proper Review). If Sangean or any other Mfg’r wants me to do a proper review, contact me, and send your item! Given these limitations, here are my brief thoughts on some of the features of the Sangean MMR-88: DURABILITY – I’ve dropped it 3x on a hardwood floor from about 4’. No damage to the case, nor any damage to the item itself. The case and rubber coated sides have taken a licking and keep on ticking. SOUND – I’m a professional musician. I like the sound very much. Both external speaker and with headphones/earbuds. It’s a stereo unit for those who use earbuds. Digital tuning helps to lock in local stations. Sound quality over extended listening is not unpleasurable. AM/FM RECEPTION - So far, so good. Picks up all the stations I like to listen to. I live in Los Angeles. To tune in to some stations (KFI-640 for instance) it's easier for me to simply turn the radio a few degrees rather than use the telescoping antenna. Bonus: in FM mode, if the radio gets a strong signal, that signal will be rcvd in stereo. With earbuds, you'll get a nice stereo spread. BATTERY LIFE – Pleasantly surprised to know that – on a full charge – you can get over 24 hours of listening time (using earbuds). I’ve left the radio on for over 24 hours with no discernible distortion. I *have* purchased a couple after-market batteries for it, this way I’m “covered” in case of an emergency. HAND CRANK – My first Sangean MMR-88 crank quickly died on me! I had the unit replaced under warranty. The replacement units crank works fine. Cranking is a vigorous/strenuous exercise that I suppose under severe emergency is nice to have. But, cranking this thing for 1-2 minutes caused me to break a sweat and go into deep breathing to regain my senses. Hence, I bought extra batteries. DESIGN – I give it high marks. The water resistant hinged cover (to protect USB connections and headphone jack) are a smart idea. Front panel design is intuitively laid out. I can work the radio in the dark having memorized the button layout. Now, if the entire panel were backlit that would be even better. The flashlight is bright and has 4 options (high beam, low beam, pulsing emergency flash & SOS code flash). Electronic connections on the right side: -1/8” audio out for earbuds/headphones/powered speaker), -USB Out (to charge a Smartphone) and -USB IN (to charge the Radio via Computer or other USB source) The yellow plastic housing feels like high-grade, high-impact material. I'd say this radio is built-to-last. Just make sure to test the hand crank right away to make sure there are no defects. As stated, my first MMR-88 crank broke on me. Its replacement has been working fine. OVERALL IMPRESSION – I’m happy with it. It was worth the extra dough. It’s built-well, feels good in the hand and its audio quality is noteworthy. This is NOT some cheaply made Chinese radio. Sangean has a reputation to live up to. I think they made a winner!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with an ac adaptor? If so will it run of, said ac adaptor?**
A: No, but you can find AC adapters that will work if you don't want to search for a hard to find and expensive Sangean adapter. The main thing is to check compatibility with the adapter specs listed in the little Sangean booklet that comes with this radio. I got an adapter for under $12 that has worked fabulously and has not caused any interference with the radio: HomeSpot 5V 2.4A Power Supply / Adapter. It has a micro USB that plugs into the power input on the Sangean, and a USB at the other end that plugs into the small adapter that includes over-charge and overheating protection. It even has a power switch on the cable. See: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HEXFQWW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm sure there are others adapters that would work, too.

**Q: Is this radio water proof?**
A: NO. It is only IPX3 (water resistant), there are IPX4 rated radios available. Water proof is IPX7 or higher. And IPX3 DOES NOT mean it can handle spraying from any direction, rather only up to 60° from the top of the device. It is not rated to handle a rainstorm in the back county without being cover up. IPX4 rating means water splashed from any direction is ok, not IPX3.

**Q: How long does the batteries it comes with last? Before having to replace to new rechargeable batteries?**
A: The radio comes with a replaceable Nmhi rechargeable battery which should last a long time if properly charged. I keep My radio on the window ledge and the solar panel keeps the charge up. I've never had to use the crank feature.

**Q: One should take off the battery when the radio is not in use, in order to prevent it to leak acid inside the radio?**
A: The battery is Lithium based & is'nt prone to leakage, I would say simply wrap the battery in plastic wrap & leave in place in storage so battery is'nt lost.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***A on August 7, 2020*

El radio SANGEAN MMR-88, es un excelente artículo de calidad, que me gusta?, todo!, las tres vías de carga, solar, manivela y USB, evitarán que te quedes sin música! el radio es FM y AM, cosa que la mayoría de los radios ya no incluye la AM, está fabricado con un plástico muy resistente, me gusta que tenga lámpara y que el display se ilumine por ejemplo para ver la hora y después se apague después de 15 segundos. Puedes escuchar el radio dos días seguidos de 8 horas cada uno sin recargar la pila, dejándolo a los rayos del Sol para que dure mas la carga. El único detalle que me decepciona es que al subirle todo el volumen..... no es suficiente!!!, solo llega a 30 puntos, manejó un camión muy silencioso pero el ruido del tráfico y de la conducción hacen que no se oiga muy bien que digamos. Tiene muy bajo el volumen Máximo. Saludos.
