Essential Survival Gear, This Portable Radio Could Save Your Life
For anyone interested in adding an AM / FM radio to your prepper list the Kaito KA500 portable radio is a one-of-a-kind piece of survival gear. This lightweight and tiny radio isn't your normal AM / FM radio. Nope, it was made for emergencies. In addition to being a portable AM / FM radio the KA500 shortwave radio also accesses emergency frequencies. All 7 of the NOAA weather bands for instance. In addition to being an emergency weather radio (and great shortwave radio) the KA500 Voyager is also a solar radio and wind up radio. That's right, it can be used in direct sunlight via solar, dynamo crank, USB, and more, making it extremely versatile for survival situations. This is why so many survival gear specialists love it.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. I am glad you are happy with your radio purchase.
So far we are very pleased with our Kaito KA500L. The built in antenna works well, reception is great in the city. We have not tested out in the woods.
Hi Carter,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your support!
I just want to save everyone this time, trouble and disappointment with this radio. It DOES NOT charge your cell phone. The solar panel doesn’t charge the radio and the crank barely does any for the radio charge. I can only pick up 1 NOAA station. Short wave is terrible also. DO NOT waste your money on this radio!

I got this radio to play when I have to be out on a stake out waiting to serve legal process. It works well but rarely picks up any short wave stations.

Thanks for the feedback, Walter.
Should you ever wish to return this radio due to the short wave shortfall there, we have a great return policy you can take a look at at this link.
This was a gift (new) from someone I care about very much. But, I have found better radios in the free box at a yard sale. Crank for 10 minutes and get 5 minutes of reception. The solar panel is so weak that it won't power the radio even it bright sunlight. I have an old "Outrider" that will not only play in sunlight, but it also charges the battery in less than an hour.
