JB Tacticals JB-08 Emergency Radio - Green

The green emergency radio is a compact device designed for critical situations, combining a FM/AM/SW/WB radio, LED torch, power bank and Bluetooth 5.0. It is equipped with a 4000 mAh battery and features both a solar panel and a hand crank (dynamo), enabling operation without access to mains power. It proves useful during camping, power cuts or emergencies, providing energy, light and information.

Durable housing, indicators, buttons, compass

The housing is made from durable plastic resistant to impact and moisture. The solar panel is positioned at the back, above which are the buttons Next, Play/Pause, Previous, SOS Alert and Emergency Power Output Switch.

On the front are a tuning knob, speaker and frequency indicator, with function indicators placed above.

On the top there is a volume knob with a built-in compass, and on the side – a hand crank for generating energy.

The BAND, MODE, SET and LIGHT buttons control the radio, operating modes and torch. The layout of the elements has been designed to ensure comfortable handling even in demanding outdoor conditions.

radio, telescopic antenna, white noise

The model covers a wide frequency range, allowing reception of stations on FM, AM, SW1–SW7 and WB (NOAA weather channels). The FM band lets you listen to local music and news stations, the AM band is suitable for long-range broadcasts, while SW1–SW7 shortwave bands provide access to international transmissions. The WB band delivers forecasts and weather warnings broadcast by meteorological services. Tuning can be manual or digital, and the built-in telescopic antenna ensures stable reception outdoors.

The device includes a White Noise function that plays seven natural sounds, such as waves, rain, crackling fire or wind. It helps relaxation, sleep and stress reduction both at home and outdoors.

LED torch, SOS signal

The 120-lumen LED torch effectively illuminates the surroundings after dark or during power outages. The reflector produces a focused beam of light, making movement in the dark easier.

A SOS button activates a flashing light and an audible SOS alarm. The strong warning signal enables the user to call for help, increasing personal safety in emergencies.

Built-in battery, solar panel, dynamo

The radio features a built-in 4000 mAh lithium-ion battery ensuring long operation without frequent recharging. It can be powered in three ways: via USB-C port, solar panel or hand-crank generator (dynamo). Turning the hand crank generates energy to charge the battery in emergencies, while the solar panel recharges it during the day, allowing radio use anywhere, far from the power grid.

Powerbank function, microSD slot, Bluetooth 5.0

The JB-08 includes a power bank function allowing you to charge mobile devices outdoors. The built-in 4000 mAh battery powers the USB-A port for connecting a phone, torch or other electronics. The radio is charged through the USB-C port, providing quick recharging. The device also features a microSD (TF) slot, 3.5 mm AUX input for wired audio sources and a Bluetooth 5.0 module for wireless sound playback from a phone or tablet. All ports are protected by a rubber cover against dust and moisture.

    Very good radio – compact, with a practical case that you can throw in a backpack without worrying about the safety of the equipment, and the USB cable is always at hand. It's lightweight, provides good shortwave reception, and the volume is adjusted with a knob. The crank works flawlessly, I haven't tested the solar panels yet. The alarm is very loud, and the power bank is sufficient in emergencies. Bluetooth is another advantage. I definitely recommend it!

    This is already my third emergency radio and so far the best, with an exceptional design, loads of functions, good reception, and very good sound. The Bluetooth transfer from my phone works perfectly and the solar panel is larger than on most comparable radios – but still it's more intended for maintaining the charge than for actually charging. I haven't tested charging with the crank or playing via TF card yet. So why only 4 stars? Like all products, this one isn't perfect, and I still have a wish list: - an additional option to run the radio on AA or AAA batteries, even if that would make it a bit bigger and heavier. - an easy and well-documented way to replace the internal battery, if necessary. - these days a lot is broadcast via DAB+; I don’t know whether DAB+ is used more than FM in emergencies, but it would be nice if the radio could also receive DAB+. However, as far as I know, there's no emergency radio on the market that can receive SW/AM and DAB+, only those with DAB+ and FM. - some emergency radios have a SW band from 3.2 to 22.0 MHz instead of just 5.7 to 17.9 MHz. I have to admit, though, that I don't know whether there are any stations to receive below 5.7 or above 17.9 MHz. - The 7 "natural" sounds are presumably meant to be calming. However, it's here you notice that the speaker isn't quite good enough for the sounds to actually seem natural. Also, the loop is too short. Some calming artificial music with a loop longer than 1 minute would probably be better in my opinion. - the buttons for controlling playback are arranged upside down. - the description mentions a "3.5-mm AUX input for wired audio sources". That is, of course, not correct – it's actually a (quite good and much more important) output for headphones (according to the instructions and my test). But an additional 3.5mm input would be the icing on the cake.

    The radio meets my requirements. It is compact, lightweight, and easily fits in a backpack, and the sound is of good quality. Additionally, it is important to me that it has a headphone jack.

    This emergency radio seems to be quite robust enough to accompany you on all your journeys in remote areas. Delivered in a small padded box, it will be useful to you in the most difficult conditions. The design is quite original... An essential!!

    Interesting radio, it stands out among others I own. I initially bought it thinking about carrying it in my backpack, but now it accompanies me at work and plays music. It surprises with its unusual construction and numerous functions, and the battery really lasts a long time (at least at the beginning of use). So far I have no complaints, because it fulfils its tasks. It allows you to play music via Bluetooth, FM radio and AM. I haven't used all of the device's capabilities yet (also, in a big city, especially among tall buildings, it’s not possible to check everything). A nice touch: I didn't know how to increase the volume, but it turned out you just need to turn the compass to change it.
