Only had this for 5 months, but USB recharged stopped working. Item returned to company for repair, but as the port became hot on trying to recharge am not keen to use in future,

Was looking for a reliable weather radio with Weather Alert, FM/AM, and source of battery power for electronics. Sangean makes high quality radios (search for their other units). Many other products are poor quality, break within days of use, or have major problems.
