Kaito Voyager XL KA700 Emergency Radio Review

- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2016
- The Kaito KA700 Bluetooth Emergency Radio is an essential piece of equipment whether you're on a job-site, the beach, camping, or when SHTF. Although it is a little confusing to use, it overcomes its faults with functionality.

Excellent review, I'm a radio guy and I currently have the Kaito Voyager KA500 in red. After seeing your video here I am definitely picking this one up as well. Most likely will go with the green variation for this model. Thanks for your review.👍
My pleasure. I'm going to do more reviews in the future. I hope you enjoy it, I know I have.
👍
The SOS function you mentioned is NOT really an SOS! It IS a flashing light which would get someone's attention but, not alert them to the fact that you are in an emergency situation! If it WERE an SOS, it would flash XXX_XX_XXX rather than just flashing! A lot of the new flashlights have a built-in SOS function the actually flashes SOS!'
Oh well, it will at least get someone's attention!
Thanks for a good review! I will, likely get one of these instead of the 600 Pro I was looking at! I have HAM radios, Marine Band radios, walkie talkies for the FRS and GMRS bands and CBs, too! One can never have enough emergency radios!
Thanks, again for a good review!
Kim Curtis thank you for the correction. I made this video about a year ago, I'm quite aware of what SOS really means, I'm sure I meant it as a euphemism for an emergency alarm or light not specifically SOS.
I doubt a potential rescuer wandering in the woods would know the difference between a flashing red light and an actual SOS signal. Jeez...
Super Job!!! Your right it is difficult to use, Your video really helped to understand many of the features. I have a question, Is is true that I cannot listen to the radio while charging? Thanks
Bruce Saxton I believe that you can charge it and listen to the radio. I have to check, I'll give you a definite answer by Sunday.
Bruce Saxton it does charge while listening to the radio, but there is slight interference when you charge and play the radio.
How do you use the microphone?
Can you change the screens backlight color or is green the only color?
Spanky McNuttly it's the only color
Thank you.
For someone living in Africa, do the NOAA weather channels mean anything, or have any relevance?
Ademola Adelekan
No. Only in the U.S. and Canada.
There have been 7 frequencies between 162.40 - 162.55 MHz, set aside for a special
Weather channel, in each major area/city .
It continuously broadcasts weather information for each local area, and gives
“Alerts “ for emergency warnings, tornadoes, hurricanes, major storms, etc.
Jeff King Also used as Taxi radio (162.400 - 162.55 - 164 Mhz.),
UK, Bulgaria also used as taxi communications radio too.
Jeff King Also Mexican SARMEX and Weather Radio Bermuda.
Ademola Adelekan Also use two way radio to transmit NOAA frequencies in Africa for Taxi radios. UK TAXI services uses 162.55 Mhz.
Bright Colors are no good in SHTF Situation ! Camouflage green or Desert Storm colors !

look at the new KA-900
You could NOT have picked a better album or band to stream!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you agree. I'm sick and tired of today's bubble gum pop bs
Does not look very waterproof with an SD card at the top like that
Tony Ling it isn't waterproof
SHTF hit all radio AM AND FM are off the air them you here the one out of canda round the world that much clearer not like it give way
Is this the best Emergency Radio?
In my opinion yes. I've had a few others but this one is the best one that I have owned.
NO. Definitely not. Notice this dude did not demo the SW. That's because it is worthless.

It depends on your needs and wants.
Sound quality is not to bad , is terrible , awful ! This type of battery is a piece of junk and they are xpensive ... and after 2, 3 month they are dead. You didn't mention about waterproofness.
downvote... for explaining what the battery sign on the phone is for.
Daniel Frederikson I was explaining how the battery meter for the radio is displayed on the phone, which seems to be exclusive to the Iphone. Wasn't trying to insult anyone's intelligence.
