I enjoy the MP3 playback. The recording function is great! You can record the FM band in stereo! There is a scheduled record function that will wake the radio up and start recording the last station you had set. This can be set to do it every day, though I could not find a duration setting...so just have a nice capacity SD card.

Features I liked the best:
Lithium Ion battery is the of the 18650 variety.
Build Quality is great.
FM and WB reception is the best.
Flashlight.
Reading lights.
Red Blinker for emergencies.
Dynamo that is easy to use.
Solar panel.
MP3, WMA, WAV playback is amazing.
EQ settings for the MP3 playback.
Bluetooth.
Line-In Jack.
Plenty of presets.
Alarm function has many options. Wake to beep, MP3, and Radio.
Built in Recorder is smooth...no artifacts like cheaper recorders. Records in Stereo! Can set up Scheduled recording.
Text Reader...yes, this function can be invaluable in an emergency. Contacts, Lists, ect. I like the idea of short stories to read to children.
Tuning is easy, you can tune with the knob, seek with the buttons, direct entry the station, and navigate presets with the M- and M+ Keys.

Features I wish it had or could be improved on:
Ability to record the Line-In jack.
The AM band is ok, but many of the stations exhibit a high pitched tone. Especially distant stations at night.
A longer FM antenna, to improve the reception even more!
A different display, maybe an LCD display that can be read easily when the light is not active.
An active clock when the power is off on the radio.
Dedicated Sleep, Snooze and Alarm set keys.
Alert mode is to restrictive. The 600L does this right, by allowing it to stay active while still being able to use the radio and all its functions.

This radio is for those who want an entertainment device and recorder. Makes a great emergency radio when your stuck having to evacuate to a shelter or different location. You can load up your SD card with tons of podcasts, music and old time radio shows(like I do). I'm really happy with this radio overall. A worthy upgrade from the basic emergency radios out there.

I hope you enjoyed this video!
