Review on Kaito Bluetooth Emergency Powered Recorder by David Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Operation is illogical

The operation of this radio is illogical compared to any digital radio I have used. To use the radio, turn it on, press the other button labeled Radio/Music, and then press the radio band you want to listen to. First of all, this is a radio, so turn it on, turn it on at all settings and go. Also, the station memory does not allow you to assign specific stations to specific memories. For example: I want station 105.7 to be store 1, 88.1 store 2, 107.5 store 3. This doesn't work. It stores in memory from the lowest frequency to the highest. So I stored 105.7 first, assuming it was store 1. It was until I stored 88.1. Then 88.1 was the first and 105.7 the second. In addition, you can store up to 440 FM stations. Unlikely, but let's say you have 100 stations saved. You are listening to station 5 but want to listen to station 50. Then you have to press M+ but 45 times to get there. Finally, there is an on/off switch next to the charging port. It's not clear what he's doing. In the Revain Q&A, at least 2 different answers were given. On the other hand, the weather band in my area was loud and clear.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
