Review on 📻 Kaito KA390 Portable AM/FM Shortwave NOAA Weather Radio: Black + LED Flashlight by Jared Stauder

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Damn good FM radio.

Well rats, where do you start? Let's talk about AM. The tuner appears to be some sort of hybrid digital setup. That means some features are sacrificed for FM. :-(You can get really good FM from the four bands on this radio.AM: If you just want some local 50kW stations, they're all there and everywhere. Where I live, this band is static throughout. Cool, huh? good! now we have something. FM stations are awesome! 50-60 miles away they are presented discreetly. They are pinpointed exactly! Wow! The little speaker sounds great! The case is cute. It's beautifully made. There are multiple holes to plug in things like headphones. You can use an external power supply if you can find one. BUT. 3 D cells will last you most of the year using these headphones! Pretty economical. Do the math. That estimate is based on 8 hours of use per day. So, really good FM. Ratty AM. Fine white noise in the Southwest. Weak AM. Weather. Good FM radio for $23! D-light." turns on with your own and off switch right on the front panel!cool,yeah?

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly
