What can the KA600 receive?

AM, FM, longwave, shortwave from 2,300 to 23,000 KHz, and all seven NOAA weather channels, with RDS and real-time alerts.

An AC adapter, three AA batteries, a built-in rechargeable Ni-MH pack, a hand crank, or the flip-up solar panel, which can run the radio even with no battery installed.

Can it charge a phone?

Yes, it has a phone charging output, though cranking or solar charging is slow and best treated as a top-up in an outage.

Is it good for shortwave listening?

It receives shortwave, but tuning is imprecise and sensitivity is modest, so hobbyists who want serious shortwave should look at a dedicated receiver.

Does it have a light?

Yes, a built-in flashlight and a reading lamp, useful during power cuts and at camp.

Is it a good emergency radio?

Yes. The mix of power sources, weather alerts and lights makes it a strong kit radio, as long as you accept its shortwave limits.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the KA600 as a dependable emergency radio and like the range of power sources and the weather alerts. Shortwave hobbyists find tuning imprecise and reception limited compared with dedicated receivers, and some report the crank and rechargeable battery are slow to recover.

About the Kaito Voyager Pro KA600 Digital Solar Dynamo,Wind Up,Dynamo Cranking AM/FM/LW/SW & NOAA Weather Emergency Radio with Flashlight, Reading Lamp Alert,Smart Phone Charger & RDS and Real-Time Alert, with

The Kaito Voyager Pro KA600 is a multi-band emergency radio for everyday use, travel, camping and backpacking. It receives AM, FM, longwave and shortwave stations, plus NOAA weather channels 1 to 7.

It can be powered in several ways: an AC/DC adapter, three AA batteries (not included), or the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery. The built-in battery can be charged with the included AC adapter, by hand cranking or from a computer. A flip-up solar panel adjusts through 180 degrees and powers the radio even when no battery is installed.

The radio can also be used as a bedside radio.
