Review: Great value for a very flexible portable radio - The negative reviews on this radio puzzle me. It's a cheap portable radio. It's designed for low cost, portability and excellent battery life - and it scores 10/10 on all three. Sound quality is really very good for a monaural radio - more than satisfactory for me - and even though it has analog tuning, I find it easy to surf the bands looking for stations. In fact, I bought an extra one for a blind friend of mine precisely because the radio is so simple to use with few controls and no mysteries. If I had a criticism, it would be that the radio's way of snapping into signal reception on the AM and shortwave bands is a bit abrupt, making it difficult to receive weak stations. This would not be my first choice for a shortwave radio. For strong AM and FM station reception (and even medium-strength stations), I think it's excellent, and having weather radio frequency reception on a low-end analog radio such as this is an excellent bonus. Don't buy it as your primary radio, but use it in power failures, for camping, for travel, and anywhere that you don't want to risk your expensive radio and yet want flexibile capability. I would buy another again in a heartbeat if mine disappeared. Review: Good reception, long lasting batteries - I bought this with a 12-pack of D batteries. I started using it around the start of May, the first set of batteries (the first 3 batteries I used) lasted until the end of October. Six months of use with one set of batteries! I use the radio about 4-5 days a week, for about 2-3 hours per day. Sometimes I use it only ~1h per day. Sometimes I leave it on all day on the weekends. It has been a good little radio. ## Features - Comprehensive coverage of AM, FM, shortwave and 7 NOAA weather channels for entertainment, sports, talk-shows, breaking news around the world, and 24/7 real-time weather forecast (USA and Canada ONLY) - Telescopic antenna extends up to 32" for high sensitivity reception assisted by advanced semiconductor circuitry design for pin-point tuning accuracy, - 3†dynamic speaker delivers loud and crispy sound, even in a noisy environment, such as a garage or a workshop, plus a 3.5mm earphone jack for private listening - Made of strong premium impact-resistant and water-resistant ABS material, suitable for both indoors home/office use and outdoors recreational activities - Powered by optional 5V/6V AC/DC power adapter (sold separately) or 3 common-type D size batteries (NOT included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071DXSZ7Z | | Additional Features | Built-In Flashlight, Portable | | Brand | Kaito | | Built-In Media | Owner's Manual | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Earphone | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Connectivity technology | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 400 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) | | Frequency | 108 MHz | | Hardware Interface | 3.5mm Audio | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 19.7L x 15.2W x 5.7H centimeters | | Item Weight | 15 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Kaito | | Mfr Part Number | KA390-BLK | | Model Number | 4330350809 | | Number of Batteries | 3 D batteries required. | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product dimensions | 19.7L x 15.2W x 5.7H centimeters | | Radio Bands Supported | AM, FM, Weather | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special features | Built-In Flashlight, Portable | | Style Name | modern | | Tuner Type | AM, FM | | Tuner technology | AM , FM | | UPC | 855851007148 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 5 Volts, 6 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kaito - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** Auxiliary - **Product dimensions:** 19.7L x 15.2W x 5.7H centimeters - **Special features:** Built-In Flashlight, Portable ## Images ![KA390 Portable AM/FM Shortwave NOAA Weather Radio with LED Flashlight, Color Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817KcsX4qmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this plug in?** A: It will plug in if you buy the adapter separately. I wouldn't buy this, mine quit working after about 2 months and the company wouldn't stand behind their product. Just a waste of money. **Q: Those lt have a good bass** A: It has a single monaural speaker and it's of a decent size, so it's a lot less tinny than a smaller radio would have, but there is no substitute for size if you want really good bass. **Q: What adapter goes with this so I can plug it in?** A: Mine came with an adapter. Kaito AD500 **Q: Can I use the AC adapter with the 3 size batteries installed?** A: I only use it on AM with batteries I have a AC adapter if I use the AC adapter ( the one I have it is unusable the RF noise makes it unusable, It does not cause a problem on other bands I have tried). I would not expect a problem with both batteries and a problem. I have no idea if the batteries were rechargeable if they would be recharged when a battery and AC supply is connected. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for a very flexible portable radio *by P***M on 13 August 2017* The negative reviews on this radio puzzle me.
