Review on ๐Ÿ“ป Kaito KA390 Portable AM/FM Shortwave NOAA Weather Radio: Black + LED Flashlight by Eric Schwalbe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable base station.

This is the PERFECT radio for your first aid kit. Simple, easy to use (my wife doesn't like my digital tuning radios as they often get stuck on the lock function or some other feature that prevents tuning). signals. The flashlight is just an extra handy bonus. So little can go wrong with such a simple thing - and when the power goes out or you're stuck in a snow storm, we're getting to higher elevations (7500+ feet) here in Colorado, you want something that just works. This radio just works and I expect it will continue to do so for the next 20 years. For the price it can't be beat. Ideal for work. It's not high precision, but it's not an idea. Simply good radio - with LIGHTYEARS better reception than cheap Chinese cracker toys. As a top ham radio operator with 20 years of experience, this is without a doubt one of the best AM/FM receiver tuners I've had for the price. If you want something like this in a more expensive radio, get ready to shell out $150 on a C. Crane or Sangean. $20 for it. And does it have a weather section? Come on. Take a few and always be prepared.

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Drill Pack
