Default Wind-Up SW Radios...Help!

"gthh" ) writes:

I also find a speaker useful for my friends whom I travel with, and radio is
often a social thing, I find headphones on a trip slightly selfish. I
realised this was unsociable when my mate had headphones on a speakerless
radio, and I had nothing, as it had been stolen! It sucked.

But of course, that's the tradeoff.

I saw a review of the original Baygen (well the one that was made
for actual sale), and it used a miniscule amount of current. It
matched what they could get out of the generator. Headphones
right off the bat require less audio amplification, and that will
be a fair current draw for radios with speakers.

ANd that lack of current output from the generator is reflected
in the actual radios. THe better a receiver, the more current it
will require.
