Choose the Right Portable Radio Option
Pack a broadcast receiver for campsite listening or add one to your household outage kit. This listing contains three different radio configurations: a 5000mAh model, 2000mAh models in Red, Blue or Black, and a separate KK257 AM FM Radio option. Charging, lighting and weather-band features differ between them.

Key Features
-
AM/FM listening: listed across the configurations, subject to local station availability.
-
Rechargeable choices: 2000mAh and 5000mAh options include solar and hand-crank charging in their descriptions.
-
Additional 5000mAh functions: reading lamp, SOS alarm and headphone jack are described for HY-068, not every option.
-
AA-powered alternative: KK257 is a separate basic radio, not a lower-capacity version of the same solar unit.
Why Choose These Radio Options?
Compare a basic battery-powered receiver with rechargeable multifunction models in one place. Choose the configuration whose documented features match your packing and listening needs, rather than assuming every option includes a light, power bank or weather band.
Ideal For
Camping, travel broadcast listening and household power-outage preparation. The weather-band function on the rechargeable models is described for the United States; do not assume compatible weather broadcasts worldwide. These are receivers, not two-way radios or rescue beacons.
In the Box
-
5000mAh: radio, charging cable and instructions listed.
-
2000mAh: radio, lanyard and USB cable listed; confirm connector type for the selected unit.
-
KK257: radio; AA batteries not included.
AAA backup batteries for the 5000mAh model are not included; their required count is not stated. Wall adapters and phones are not listed as included.
Water Resistance and Charging Limits
The original copy mixes waterproof wording with an IPX3 reference in the 2000mAh section. Model-specific test documentation is not provided, so no waterproof guarantee is made. Do not immerse any unit. Charging rates, usable phone-charging capacity and playback runtimes are not verified; solar and crank charging should not be assumed to replace a full USB charge.
Weather Alerts and Safe Use
Automatic weather-alert operation is not established separately for each model. An SOS alarm, where fitted, does not contact emergency services. Follow the selected model's manual, charge or fit batteries before travel, test reception and lights, and keep another way to receive urgent information.
