Kaito KA500IP-BLK Voyager Solar/Dynamo AM/FM/SW NOAA Weather Radio with Alert and Cell Phone Charger, Black

I spent over $100 on the ka900 model with the fancy Bluetooth and digital tuning and tf card reader for mp3 playback. Now it's around $75. My opinion it sucks. AM reception stunk, digital tuning stinks. Only thing great was the tf card reader for mp3 playback. This model? KA500IP rocks! I get my AM stations! I didn't with the ka900. KA500IP let's you put in 3 rechargeable aa batteries as a backup. Awesome! Ka900 nope. Only 1 battery. Unless you love spending more money on fancy things like Bluetooth capabilities. A must for emergencies! 😆 buy the ka900! If you want a kick booty no nonsense emergency/prepper/basic without the unnecessary extras, the KA500IP is perfect. Nothing beats the old school tuning knob. Works for me! 5 stars for a decent radio that gets my AM stations!!!! Just my opinion. 😁

Excellent radio for you bug out bag or any emergency situation or as your primary radio. Excellent quality reception and sound. Listen to local stations or get the weather forecast by a quick turn of a switch. Enjoy long distance listening with shortwave bands one or two. You’d best listen to those shortwave bands at night as the reception is ideal to receive stations from overseas. I like the fact the analog dial lights up when needed. Such a great feature! This radio will not disappoint you. Outstanding reliable quality radio! Thank you to the seller!

For the money I think the the selector switches could have been a bit better quality.also the aerial has no universal joint at the base so you have to physically turn the radio for best reception rather than adjust the aerial direction, which can mean the speaker isn't facing the listener.

Hola 👋.Muy buena Radio mmultibanda emergencia pues robusta y resistencia.Todo bien...5 Estrellas 🤩🤩🤩....

This emergency radio worked right out of the box, no muss, no fuss. A quick perusing of the instructions and enjoy. I had another recently that was a very nice radio but was overly complicated. In a real emergency I want something that responds quickly in the dark, in inclement weather, in the aftermath of the bad event. This has AM, FM, SW, NOAA . You can plug it in, use batteries, crank or take advantage of the sun with a solar panel. The instructions are the absolute BEST of any electronic gadget I've had in many years. Now children, I'm an old lady and it's not that I'm not able to read schematics or understand technical jargon, I worked for an engineering firm, but in the area of instruction manuals I want it simple. Granny is loving on this radio.
