It has really good written reviews, I watched many youtube videos comparing this with a few popular SW radios and practically all preferred this radio including a local gentleman that owns one.

I bought Nitecore D4 charger while back but it I had problems charging different battery makes.

I ended up buying a few Olight R40 Seekers flashlights. It's direct plug in rechargeable and have yet to fail me thus far.
