KaitoKA500 5-way Powered Solar Power,Dynamo Crank, Wind Up Emergency AM/FM/SW/NOAA Weather Alert Radio with Flashlight,Reading Lamp and Cellphone Charger, Yellow

Just a superb well designed radio, it just works and dose the job it was designed for really well indeed, the reception on all of the bands is exceptionally good-its up there with the very best receivers at a fraction of the price that one of those would cost , for me being a shortwave radio enthusiast this little radio is brilliant-it cover's all of the mainstream frequencies superbly, im able to listen to stations from all over the world even without an antenna extension-to be truthful i wasn't expecting it to be so good, sw1 i use at night for the American stations , sw2 for the European stations throughout the daytime it's just brilliant-and you can get them in a colour of your choice-there well made good quality and very sensitive, tune slowly and you will be rewarded, well worth the money, all in superb.

Purchased for general use, and emergency’s good sound & reception easier to use than the digital version, the NOA is for use in the USA going there shortly, so will be used, & with the blackouts in Europe recently, this is the second one purchased.👍😎📻would highly recommend.

Perfect and often recommended radio for emergencies. Built in rechargeable power pack with facility for powering with non-rechargables. Can also be powered from its solar panel or by the hand-crank, though I cannot say how good either of these are in the real world.The aerial extends to about 35 cm, but cannot be oriented other than directly up.There are several bands and a manual tuning dial on the side. Reception on all bands, FM, AM, SW1 and SW2 is good, though shortwave reception is of course better at certain times depending upon atmospheric conditions. There is no facility of extending the aerial further to increase range which might prove useful for SW in particular.There is a so-called weather band, but outside the US this is redundant. NOAA Weather Radio stations broadcast on one of seven frequencies in the VHF Public Service band: 162.400 megahertz (MHz), 162.425 MHz, 162.450 MHz, 162.475 MHz, 162.500 MHz, 162.525 MHz, and 162.550 MHz. Essentially the NOAA Weather Radio is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from the National Weather Service (NWS) offices across the United States. The broadcasts include warnings, watches, forecasts, current weather observations, and other hazard information, 24 hours a day works with the Federal Communications Commission's Emergency Alert System . However unless in the US or parts of Canada the weather band won’t provide anything!Despite this, it is a functional radio set with a built in torch and multiple methods of powering up the device. Perfect for your emergency kit, grab bag, camping trip or just simply to listen in the garden!Fairly well built and comes with a short carrying strap.

Got this for my uncle who lives in a city in Pakistan. Unfortuntely the have daily power cuts and he loves listening to the radio. What’s also needed is a torch. Well this is a two in one! To be able to power it up by winding it up is just what was needed. The feedback from my uncle has been really postive, he loves the radio - good reception and that in times when the power goes out he can continue to listen to it. Great device.

I bought 2 units1st 2 lost by carriers. Instant replacements dispatched and arrived in 48hrs. no quibbles.Works well. Well constructed & good functions.EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH THROUGHOUTI would recommend buying from this supplier.

We found it this radio has been more than just a radio as it has a torch. It has everything that we need so it’s awesome and you can watch when your power bank is down. You can hand crank charge it which is even better so you don’t have to use your bank it’s pretty cool.

I use this radio all the time in the kitchen, it does everything it says it does. Battery life is amazing, havent needed to charge it yet and ive been using it alot

But hard to get channels in
