Outdoor activities are a great way to escape the daily routine and rejuvenate yourself. They can be much more fun when you bring along your favorite music. However, most outdoor can be harsh for the typical radio. You don't want to spoil the fun by carrying such a radio. Luckily, brands identified this gap a couple of years ago and decided to create radios suitable for outdoor activities. In this article, I will introduce the outdoor series.
Best Radios for Camping
MMR-88/MMR-99 Emergency Radio
Whether it's pitching a tent in the middle of the wilderness or parking your RV in a remote area, you need to know what's happening around the community. Natural disasters have become rampant today.
With an MMR-88/MMR-99, you don't need to worry about power. The radios are built with three charging methods, the USB, hand crank, and solar panel. These methods ensure you keep listening to your favorite shows or music no matter where you are. One of the best things that I love about these radios is the rugged design.
