A cool thing about the crank-power #TecsunGR98 #ShortwaveRadios that I haven’t seen before: they come w/ USB adaptors for the various devices you may have to charge w/ radio’s crank-dynamo in the case of a #SHTF emergency. It comes with a USB A to USB Micro cord + USB C & USB Lightning adaptor fittings. The #radio itself can also be powered with a DC IN 5V input w/ same USB cord. #Tecsun #ShortwaveListening #KE0FFTswl #ShortwaveRadio #EmergencyRadio
