    This product has been disappointing—-at least in our area. The image rejection is so weak that we can only pick up one strong station—-and that is all over the dial. The price was right and the multi-power source was what we wanted, but it isn’t very usable for us.

    I really did my research on which Kaito model I thought would be best for my situation, before buying.I was looking for a radio that was compact,well-built ,sturdy, and had a lot of charging options. This was the model that seemed to be the one for me.The flashlight/LED on this model is bright enough to help out in an emergency situation. I have no problems with the windup crank-it seems well-built enough for me.I haven’t tried the solar charging yet, but I did charge up the internal battery, and everything was working fine-for awhile.The housing is sturdy and looks nice. The controls are nice and compact. It pulls in quite a lot of shortwave stations, which was mildly suprising to me.

    The antenna is long and pulls in those weak staions.

    The two things that I don’t like about this radio are:1) Once the antenna becomes bent, it can break off easily after that.The replacement antenna is $10.00 plus shipping, and I think that Kaito should get it together and offer the replacement antenna online for a cheaper price, on their website.This is one of the main problems with buying goods that are made overseas.Give us consumers a way to purchase replacement parts easily online Kaito!

    2)The volume control has deteriorated to the point of not being able to give me a lowered volume without a ton of noise now-(which is extremely distracting).I noticed this problem after buying it, but didn’t think much about it then.It just got worse. It might be OK for emergency situation usage, but if you want to rely on it for more than that-forget about it.

    Good looking radio but disappointing performance. Owner’s manual is very confusing and contains several mistakes/wrong advice. AM reception is horrible and the electronic tuning is not accurate. It does not tune in stations on the correct frequency. Solar charger does not seem to work and I still don’t understand how the AA bateries kick in.
