A cool feature of this amazing radio is that it can be powered by just the solar panel, even with the 18650 battery removed, and when using AM you can angle the radio partially away from the sun to get an AM station clearer and the panel is so efficient that it still powers it easily. I was very surprised by this! It has above average reception on all bands. I suggest a folding solar panel to charge it fast off grid and using that this doubles as a fast 18650 battery charger for your flashlights. I`m in Louisiana too. We were directly hit by hurricanes Laura and Delta bad enough in central Louisiana to damage the porch and roof and take out power for many days.
