The Kaito KA500 Voyager is a compact emergency radio with AM, FM, shortwave and NOAA weather band reception. Its selling point is power flexibility: it runs on an AC/DC adapter, three AA batteries, a built-in replaceable Ni-MH pack, a hand crank or the solar panel, and the crank can also charge a phone through the USB jack. It suits preppers, campers and anyone who wants a radio that works when the grid goes down. Against simpler crank radios it adds a reading lamp, a flashlight and a replaceable battery pack; against pricier digital models it stays analog-tuned and modest in sound.

Owners treat the KA500 as a dependable backup radio for power outages and camping. They like the range of power options and the replaceable battery, and accept the slow solar charging and modest sound as trade-offs.
The Kaito KA500 Voyager is an emergency radio that can be powered five ways: an AC/DC adapter, three AA batteries (not included), the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack, a hand crank, or a solar panel. The battery pack can also be charged from a PC through the USB port. The crank runs the radio even when no battery is installed.
It receives AM, FM, shortwave and NOAA weather stations. Seven NOAA weather channels are preset and numbered 1 to 7, and a switch tunes them. The radio has weather alert. The solar panel adjusts through 180 degrees to catch more sunlight. A 5-LED reading lamp is on the back of the panel, and there is also a flashlight.
An internal generator recharges the replaceable Ni-MH battery pack and powers the radio, flashlight and reading lamp. You can plug a cell phone into the jack on the back and use the crank to power it. The USB port can also charge other electronic devices with the hand crank. The housing is rubberized and water-resistant. Extra battery packs are sold on Kaito's website.
