Kaito Voyager Pro KA600 Digital Solar Dynamo Hand Crank AM/FM/LW/SW & NOAA Weather Emergency Radio with Flashlight, Reading Lamp,Smart Phone Charger & RDS and Real-Time Alert, with AC Adapter, Black

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The sound is better than more expensive ones I own. The shortwave is a bonus. It has so many great features, especially in case of loss of power. I highly recommend it.

My grandson is a camper and a Hunter, I got this for him for Christmas and he absolutely loves all of the features

I've owned one of these radios for several years and use it daily and like it so much I bought another one. It has good sound and feature set for the price. Not all versions come with an AC adaptor for wall power. Make sure the one you buy has it. One of the things that is different with the new version of this radio is the LCD screen is now a cheaper version that can't be viewed from any direction other than directly on. Example: If it is on a table that is a foot or two under your eye line, then you will not be able to read the screen or know what radio station is on without holding the radio and turning it towards you. The older version has a higher quality LCD screen that can be viewed from all angles, but it's still a great little radio. When you are constantly pushing the radio to read the screen be careful the fixed antenna doesn't get bent. On this radio is the first thing that breaks quickly is the antenna. It's a fixed (non-articulating) antena that only goes up and down, not side to side or front/back, so if it falls or you bump into it too hard it's going to bend and break. But it's easy enough to replace it. Would I buy another one, absolutely.

I got this unit for several reasons: emergency use, of course; camping trips; and plays. Yes, plays. Our favorite theater has ceased having performances indoors, but, instead, they leased an old drive-in theater where they have the play on a stage down front and also project it on the big screen. The old sound boxes are gone, of course, but the theater broadcasts the sound over a local radio frequency. So, my wife and I set up our lawn chairs in front of our car; tuned in the Kaito Voyager Pro KA600; used a Y-jack to plug both our headphones into the headphone jack on the unit; tuned in and pulled out the snacks; and we were good to go. Worked out perfectly. Sound was really good and the built-in light came in handy. So far, we are very satisfied. I noticed that, by using the crank, I can pretty much avoid using batteries at all. Would recommend this unit.

Hello. I've had this unit for a couple of years now and used it on and off. Thoughts: 1) I had to get a new internal battery as the old one was shot. Had it running for the last couple of days now, even with clouds and the panel facing a window, it's charging and holding its charge. 2) As noted in another review...after a couple of years the rubber part of the case starts to get sticky. Not sure what causes that, but used some "goo gone" to remove it. It sort of worked...it just doesn't look very good. 3) The telescoping antenna. A continuing problem. I had the radio sitting in a window, a gust of wind blew it over onto the floor, breaking the antenna. What I ended up doing was to take the back off the radio, wire nutting the antenna wire to a length of 14 gauge "bell wire" and putting a blade connector on the end. That way, I can connect various lengths of the same wire to better receive SW/LW stations. Using this method (along with appropriate broadcast schedules according to propagation/time of day) , I've been pretty successful in listening to WWV and a few others. I have the clip on reel, just not thrilled with it. 4) FM/WB reception. Acceptable performance on both. If used in a high electronic interference environment (nearby computers/monitors) not so much. 5) AM reception. Acceptable performance. If used in a high electronic interference environment (nearby computers/monitors) not so much. In the evening/night, with the wire antenna as noted above, have picked up distant high power stations. 6) Solar panel/LED reading light/Flashlight/Crank. Panel works well for radio reception. Haven't tried it for charging phones, etc. LED reading light works great, flashlight OK, Crank hasn't been used much as I use rechargeable AA batteries and keep a separate solar charger to keep multiples charged for different uses.

Perfect for emergencies. Flashlight, AM/FM radio, USB charging ports, uses rechargeable batteries that can be powered by the sun, by cranking by hand, or 3 AA Batteries. Has a solar panel charger, red lens for night vision, flashlight, etc. Has come in handy already (within 6 months), during several power outages we've experienced due to rain/snow. Last one was 5 hours, and we were all set. Listened to music on the radio, and played cards by the surface light!

My Dad purchased this all the way from Australia and we had some minor issues getting AM to work but after emailing support they gave us instructions on how to do this. Shortly after we noticed solar charging doesn't work at all - emailed support twice but no reply. Expensive radio and it's great but the reason Dad purchased so he could charge it with solar when he was camping and no power available but unfortunately it doesn't work. Not recommended at all.

Super bonne Radio, tout fonctionne très bien.

Radio works well, Arrived on time and works as described.

It is working OK, but cheap plastic and construction. The Input/Output Functions Dock rubber flap protector does not stay in place. To top it off, the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery does not hold its charge even after having been fully charged (indicator appearing as solid) with the Kaito included power adaptor; the moment you turn the radio on the battery capacity falls down to Medium strength. I would not buy again, definitely not at the regular price (222.00 Canadian $)!!! I am disappointed.
