Kaito Voyager Pro Ka600 Digital Solar Dynamo Crank Wind Up Am Fm Lw Sw & NOAA Weather Emergency Radio with Alert RDS & Smart Phone Charger Standard Yellow

I am going to appreciate this nice radio WHEN a hurricane hits South Florida this season. I MUST learn to use all the bells and whistles. A very great must have for this time of the year if you live in the south. THANKS for a quick honest transaction. Buy-- you will not be sorry.

It does everything it should do, and it does it well.Build/materials quality is excellent.Reception is excellent.It's the only "emergency radio" to my knowledge where you can enter frequencies directly (very useful in many cases)Scans frequencies very well so you don't need to do it manually.Many power options is a huge plus for this kind of radio.

I was somewhat skeptical after reading some of the reviews here on Amazon. I figured if it wasn't to my liking I would return it. After taking it out of the box I cranked the gyro and turned it on. For a small radio it sounded good, don't get me wrong, it's no boom box, but for talk radio and low volume it's fine. AM reception, and shortwave reception is far better than I expected. I used a length of wire and an alligator clip on the end of the antenna and the shortwave comes in great. The solar panel seems to work as described, and so does the crank. The rechargeable batteries that come with it seem to hold a charge well. All and all I think it's worth the money. Cool little backup radio. I would definitely purchase another one. I also tried it in the car with an old cb radio antenna, coax wrapped around the antenna of the Kaito, worked just fine, even in Queens NY Have a great day. Update: it's been 6 months and this little radio is still kicking strong. I definitely recommend this radio
