The Summit offers many features for a portable radio including multi-band (FM/MW/SW/LW) digital tuning, and an alarm clock with 30 memory presets. It runs on self sufficient power with a choice of solar, crank, or AC/DC adaptor for charging when available. The radio has an LCD display with backlight allowing the user to see the selected radio station, clock and alarm settings – day or night, making the Summit an ideal bedside clock radio. Placing the Summit in the kitchen windowsill will keep you informed using only the sun’s energy and the integrated solar panel without the need for a wall charge, disposable batteries or even cranking. 30 seconds of wind-up provides 30 minutes of radio play time with high-performance speakers. An internal rechargeable Ni-MH battery means no repaceable batteries are ever required. A socket for personal headphones and a non-slip rubber grip add the premium finishing touches. Runs for 20 hours on a full charge. Guaranteed for 2 years. Height 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" wide, 1 1/3 pounds.
