Kaito Voyager KA500 AM FM SW WB Emergency Radio Review

The gold standard of emergency radios. A great receiver for an extended, off the grid use.

Features I like about this radio:
FM and Weather Band reception is fantastic.
SW is good with attached wire. Buy yourself a retractable wire, it makes a great pairing with this radio.
AM reception was decent, grabbing stations 500+ miles away at night.
Solar Powered.
NiMH rechargeable battery.
Dynamo crank.
USB charging device.
The ability to use optional AA batteries. A very important feature.
Yellow!
Dial Light.
Reading Lamp.
Nice build quality.
Speaker sounds good for an emergency radio.
Dedicated seven position weather band selector switch.

Features that could be added or improved on:
A normal matte plastic finish like the KA700. Not sure how this soft touch coating will endure.
Upgraded tuner, the AM band suffers from some high pitched tones while moving through the band.
Upgrade the case to allow the use of an 18650 cell vs the NIMH pack. Allowing for better run time and power bank features.
Better flashlight, this one was not adequate. You will need to rely on the reading lamps as your main source for illumination.

Overall all, this radio is great. Probably one of the better emergency radios out there to consider. I feel this radio would get my family through an emergency situation that lasted from one days to a few weeks. Hint, buy the yellow one :)
