Although its performance on any given band is modest, it does receive an amazing number of bands: AM, FM, TV Audio channels 2-13, Weather 162.55-164.4 MHz, VHF high band 145-174 MHz and four shortwave bands (6-9, 9-12, 12-15 and 15-18 MHz).
The versatile unit can be powered four ways: From 3 AA cells (not provided), via the built in solar cell, via the hand cranked dynamo generator (which charges the internal Ni-MH cells) or with the supplied AC adapter.
