Product Description
What is RDS?
Radio Data System, or RDS, is a communications protocol standard for embedding amounts of digital information in conventional FM radio broadcasts. RDS standardizes several types of information transmitted, including time, station identification & program information.
What is NOAA Alert?
Connected to the Emergency Alert System (EAS) through NWR (National Weather Radio) network provided by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association), this feature will automatically activate the radio to inform you of any hazardous weather conditions or warnings including natural, environmental and public safety while the radio is set at the “Alert” mode.
The newest and most advanced model from Kaito’s Voyager radio family, the KA600 Voyager Pro is designed for both everyday use & emergency preparedness applications. It offers different methods to power up including AC/DC adapter, three AA batteries (not included), the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery that can be charged by the AC adapter, hand cranking or a computer, and the patented flip-up 180-degree adjustable solar panel provides power for the radio even when no battery is installed. With its revolutionary design and versatile functions, it’s not only an ideal choice of a bedside radio but also an indispensable tool for emergency preparedness purposes, travelling, camping, backpacking and other outdoor activities.

It can do, good idea to get the antenna with it ,it really helps bring in more channels
The best one being a line in and you can use it as a wired speaker for your phone and the speaker the radio comes with is high quality which surprised me because I always buy radios like this at Fred Meyer or Walmart
I, obviously, purchased this item for Emergency situations. I purchased this on August 26, 2017. My friend has one exactly like it and her's works great. I did my research on several of the Kaito Radios before deciding to go with this one. This was going to be my VERY FIRST "expensive" weather radio. I am familiar with the one my friend owns, it works very well and I was impressed by its many functions. I decided to go with this one out of all the Kaito radios.
I received my radio a few days after purchasing it. It appeared to be in perfect, brand new, condition. The box was not damaged in any way. I also purchased the additional set of accessories to go with it (back up batteries, AC Adapter and Antenna Extension). I was happy to have it all arrive quickly and without any issues. I opened the box to look at the radio and visually examined it for any flaws, imperfections or damages. It looked great. I pushed it right back into the box just exactly as it was before I pulled it out of the box. I immediately took the radio (still in the box) along with the extra accessories I purchased and put them on my shelf with my other Emergency Supplies for my family.
The weather radio I owned prior to this is very small and inexpensive. At the time I purchased the small weather radio it was all I could afford. I was very proud of myself for making a responsible purchase of such a nice Emergency Weather Radio for my family with this Kaito.
Fast forward to TODAY - October 6, 2017. My brand new weather radio has been sitting right there on my shelf inside its box keeping it dust free and ready to go in case of an emergency. AN EMERGENCY IS ON IT'S WAY! A hurricane. All hurricane season I've have hoped I wouldn't need my new weather radio, but was glad I had it just in case.
Today I completely removed it from the box, began reading my instructions, getting it ready to set up before we lose power tomorrow evening. I'm doing what people on the Gulf Coast do - preparing, being ready, taking care of business to protect my family - MY DAUGHTERS' LIVES. I'm being responsible by getting out my weather radio before it's too late to learn all of its functions and features, etc. All seems well until I actually TURN IT ON. I CANNOT SEE THE DISPLAY. The display tells you what station you are on. The number of the station. The display tells you everything. Not my display! My display only shows the very top of the numbers or letters. The bottom of the letters or numbers is BLANK. I cannot preset stations. I don't even know what station I am on. I cannot set the time. I'm beyond frustrated by this! Everything sounds staticky. Nothing sounds clear as it should. I thoroughly researched this weather radio. I spent a good bit of money (for me and my family anyway) on this weather radio for EMERGENCY SITUATIONS and IT'S VIRTUALLY USELESS TO ME.
If you've never experienced a hurricane maybe you can't understand the stress involved when you finally hear the words that this one is coming for you, your family and your home, everything you hold dear to your heart, everything you have and everything you own. The stress of getting everything in order, strapped down, sand bags, packing only very important things up in case you have to leave your home and maybe never be able to come back home to it... you just cannot understand the stress, frustration and helplessness. All you can do is what you can do to prepare.
My husband JUST ASKED ME earlier today if I ever purchased the new weather radio. I happily let him know that I had done so. It was taken care of. Now this is useless to me. I've wasted $100 on this when I could have had another one that would have worked when it was time for AN EMERGENCY like a huge storm surge coming to possibly swallow up your home. I've also wasted about $30 on accessories for this radio. So there goes about $130 thrown away.
I'm so disappointed in this purchase.... BEYOND DISAPPOINTED. I cannot even use the words I want to use to describe EXACTLY how I feel about this. I can honestly say in every purchase I have EVER made on Amazon I am the MOST disappointed by this one. THIS PURCHASE WAS MORE THAN JUST IMPORTANT IT WAS/IS VITAL.
Now my family will huddle around our old, tiny, cheap weather radio we already owned instead of having a nice, reliable one to let us know what is going on out there when we lose power... and we WILL lose power. We've already been warned to plan on being on our own for at minimum 72 hours WITHOUT ELECTRICITY.
My family needed this NOW. Not later but now. Right now.
I cannot and will not recommend this Weather radio to anyone ever. Unfortunately, I will have to make do with the old radio and hopefully be able to purchase a better weather radio after this storm.

Shortly after we noticed solar charging doesn't work at all - emailed support twice but no reply.
Expensive radio and it's great but the reason Dad purchased so he could charge it with solar when he was camping and no power available but unfortunately it doesn't work.
Not recommended at all.
