THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Loaded with features and looks like a good emergency radio for users. The radio would be a good radio to have around. The readout looks real good and I suppose limiting the backlight helps conserve the battery power. It's the first radio I've seen with a temperature and humidity readout! Like you said, it has a lot of power features. I would be anxious to see how the receiver performs.

Too bad I didn't have the chance to watch your review before I bought the KA600, because it's really complete and you're so right about everything... I don't like to complain about the KA600 but it somehow has that cheap feeling... but anyways I bought it and try to enjoy using it, but the antenna I think it's its major flaw... Thank for sharing your experiences...

Never bored by you.

Why do Kaito and Eton insist on muting on tuning with no option to turn it off? All they need to do is simply address one of the keys on the keypad as an on off switch. I considering this "feature" a serious issue for both listening enthusiasts and the casual listener as serious drawback, as if you have any interest in scanning the band for a low power or distant station it is just about impossible to do with this type of feature engaged. Also the lack of a manual dial light switch is just silly.

You can tell the control labels were designed by a Chinese person, as the tuning knob is labeld "Tun" not TUNE. Even the instruction booklet is filled with the Engrish style language. This radio needs some more weight near the bottom. It's EASY to tip over! maybe you could glue some sticks to the bottom to bolster the stability?

Toms radio room I like your utube videos

A two-stage backlight for the LCD screen would be really nice to have: it has high-brightness when you are tuning, for the 10 secondsthen changes to about 1/2 bright for about a minute, then turns off. Some more-even lighting or a backlight button would be nice too.

Very helpful!

Well I like this radio's ability to charge your mobile/cell phone but feel for the price the AC adapter should be standard (included). Thanks for sharing Tom.

That tacky rubber coating is on my Grundig G5 and G3. Used rubbing alcohol to soften and scrape it off of those because it attracted dust and lint. It isn't attractive but it's better than being sticky. I don't know if it would work with this. I don't want another radio with the coating. Plastic is easier to clean. If this has it then it's not a possibility and that's too bad. The KA700 doesn't appear to have it, and I like its features but I'm not sure if it allows continual listening with the charging plug attached. Instead of an adapter jack it appears to have a line in jack.

I just bought mine March 2021 and it came with an AC Adapter.

I have this voyager kaito pro 600 in black ♡ It is the best Emergency*Radio, Made from China, (not from Germany) ! The Germany Radio Technology and the Design is out today ! China Radios are very good with great Senderempfang and beautiful Design ♡♡♡

Thanks Tom !

I figured out how to set the _date_ but not how to make the date stay on the display.

I just got mine and I don't like the cheapo battery compartment lid...

I can't find an emergency radio Made in USA. We do not want anything made in china. Does anyone know of a made in USA radio like the Kaito?

Temperature and humidity is not much use without a built in barometer

Mine has a lock symbol on it and I have no idea how to fix it and it won’t play anything because it’s “locked”

interesting radio but don't like the antenna set up on it myself, not being able to move it around just strait up maybe that's just me. power options were good though, will try to catch your show on its reception test look forward to that...........

If it has good reception on all bands - then I would like to buy it ! I know it doesn't have ssb, but I'm thinking about collecting various radios ! I use to have several radios , but I only have a Sangean 505 now - with a messed up antenna...!

Hello, I wish to know your opinion about the following emergency radios: (1) "Epica Emergency Solar Hand Crank AM/FM/NOAA Digital Radio, Flashlight, Cell Phone Charger with NOAA Certified Weather Alert & Cables" (2) "Sangean MMR-88 AM/FM/Weather+Alert Emergency Radio Solar/Hand Crank/USB/Flashlight, Siren, Smartphone Charger" (3) "Midland ER300 Emergency Solar Hand Crank AM FM Digital NOAA Weather Radio with Cree LED Flashlight and USB Charger Output" Thanks.

March 2021 I payed almost $140 on Amazon.

Have you, or could you do some reviews on the best HAM portable transceivers? (walkie talkie transceivers)

Did you send C3PO out for a hot oil bath after his workout?

Toms radio room your green Kaito voyager pro 600 mw lw fm SW whater 5 band emergency radio Receiver is cool

So based on value for the cost, is this a great buy for a Scanner/ Emergency Radio? What other models in the same price range ($50-$75) might I look at?

i just got one but i like the finish on it. this is supposed to be a $149 unit. I got mine for $79.99. I have one of the lower priced Kaito's in the green black but my new one is silver/black. The problem is that the crank seems too flimsy. It doesn't come with an adapter and you have to buy one separately. What is that Charge IN/Out at the back under the flap? What does RDS mean? I was hoping you would show how to set an alarm and other things. I'm not too technical.....

I have this radio. How do you tune into a specific shortwave MHz? The number I’m trying to put in says KHz. For example 13.244 MHz

My dial light will not work???

how do you set the time and date on it

I'm having the same tacky problem with my Radio Shack 20-108 emergency Radio.

Do you recommend this kaito ka600 as a good radio to buy...?

My kids set both alarms by accident on mine. Try getting them shut off without the manual. Not user friendly to program this radio.

the radio function in longwave too ?

I find this radio pretty bad, Battery life is really bad even when not using. Have tried few different sets of battries. Receive very few SW frequencies, seldom listen to anything else with it.

Cannot find the video you made on the reception for this outside of your office.. did you make it?

Well as soon as you said no backlight I decided this was not for me.. in an emergency situation that is critical. The writing color black on green not a good idea either. Date time should have it's own button to bring it on. It should come with it's AC adapter! No fine tuning is also bad. Wow, this thing just lost my vote! I might try to find an old one on the market, the new ones are junk.

I worked in plastic moulding and there is zero justification for charging more money for different colours. The pellets used will cost the manufacturer exactly the same. If they do not, they should change their pellet provider. Sounds to me like a rip off. Trying to turn colour into a feature.

Thank you, I was thinking of getting this. Have decided against it.

I don't think this thing gets a B.. in an emergency you need to know what is going on and if it doesn't pull in stations clear you might as well have nothing.

So according to this one the best emergency radio is the ETON kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9hoaLJhq6q0Y6s.html and they have several styles. the 3 model has good features. But they have a new one out I haven't seen reviews on yet.

Jim* Carry lol

Mine will not power up. Piece of junk

VERY PROBLEMATIC RADIO OVERALL!! I WOULD NEVER BUY A KAITO PRODUCT AGAIN

This thing is cheap. This is a don't buy.
