Das Drehrad zum Einstellen der Frequenzen ist nach wenig Benutzung gebrochen. Die Frequenz kann nicht mehr eingestellt werden. Das Kaito hatte sich von Anfang an für mich recht billig und fragil angefühlt. Vor allem die US-Rezensionen bescheinigten dem Geräte aber immer "built like a tank" und damit recht widerstandsfähig zu sein. Ich hatte vorher ein 10€ Kurbelradio, das war von der Haptik ähnlich und läuft noch. Der hohe Preis ist meiner Meinung nach nicht gerechtfertigt.

Love this radio, compact with everything needed for an emergency. However, when using hand crank the power does not seem to last long - maybe I am doing something wrong. Specified charger not given, (made in and sold USA) but can charge Ni-MH Battery with lead supplied - I use my mobile phone plug to connect and it seemed to charge the main battery ok (5V-USB). Not tried it but the manual states the solar panel will only charge in direct sunlight but takes a long time - days. Not tried all the other gadgets like charging mobile phone from it etc. may be best to have batteries as a standby inside too, but maybe best to take tyem out when charging.

This is by far one of the best emergency or hobby/camping type of Short Wave and Weather band Radios that I have ever used. It has a built in light for the display and is easy to use. I plan on buying more of them. I have had other radios that are limited in functions. This one has the most band coverage on shortwave + weather and regular AM/FM radio. It has built in flash light for easily reading the display in the dark and as a flash light or reading lamp. I'm not yet sure how effective the solar panel is but it's nice to have there. I'll be cranking this in most cases and using rechargeable and regular batteries that will work just fine for my needs. I especially like how the cell phone can be charged with this unit very important for long term power outrages. What I would improve on is the tuning it could use a "fine-tune" feature that would be nice, maybe a dual display frequency counter with the analog and a tone control also would be nice but that's about all I can think of that would make it best of the best. If you don't own one already I'd recommend it for sure.
