There's an otherwise decent shortwave radio out there that was originally charged with a micro-usb, then they released a "new" USB-C model...except it will only charge with a 5V brick because they literally just swapped out the ports. Really annoying.

Oh man, please tell me it wasn't the CC GP-7. I have the micro version and have been hemhawwing about updating it.

		You mean the CountyComm? If so, I'm 99% certain that radio is a rebranded Tecsun PL-360, which is in fact a 5V. I love Tecsun why they would cheap out on the USB-C refresh is beyond me. https://www.tecsun-radios.com/product/pl360-radio-receiver/

I'd imagine that a significant portion of the shortwave radio community is capable of soldering in the two resistors.
