A MUST HAVE Prepping/ Survival Item : Solar/Crank Shortwave Radio Kaito 500A
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
- An emergency multiband radio is an essential preparedness tool to keep you informed if the lights go out. More importantly something with its own built in charging system (s) is absolutely essential.In these video I discuss a family of radios from Kaito now available at www.canadianpreparedness.com. These radios are self-powered, have multiple powering options i.e USB, 6 V adapter, solar, crank power, battery AAA and a built in NiMh battery pack. This is absolutely a must have prepping and survival item. Its essential that your radio is capable of AM/ FM/ SW/ and Weatherband. kaito shortwave radios have a proven track record as being a reliable brand.

*Based ATM east coast USA,North east. Signs ALL over local food stores about delay/shortages.ALL Prices on everything up 20% at least.This happened quickly.
Saw low/missing stock on items ( a bit).Not sure if actual shortage or because I went in 11:30 at night and they close at 12.
Dear Sir, I have a homeless friend who is living in the woods in Tulsa and I'm looking for a waterproof radio, flashlight, phone charger, etc. for him that doesn't cost alot. I am 64 and have VERY limited resources. But I'm really concerned about this man. Can you help me? I'm not a techi by any stretch of the imagination. The world has become alien to me. Also is there anything that will keep him warm in a tent when it's 12° and raining or snowing? IDK of anything. I've warned him about bringing propane items into his tent but he doesn't listen. All I know to do is pray. I have no money to send to him for food or other comforts that would keep him alive. And so I pray!
I hate to be "that guy" but ... TB (brutally) H, I wouldn't pee on most of that equipment. Not sure who selected it all, but wow...
... very not great : /
I live exactly where hurricane Irma hit, when that happened it felt like shtf, no gas not water no food cash was useless no way to get a hold of information. One of these hand cranked radios was priceless
Sarasota?
........... F that damn hurricane
I live in Miami and have been through several hurricanes, starting with Andrew. My multi bank radio was a lifesaver when I had no power for three weeks.
When I was homeless I bought one from Fry's. I took it apart and removed the little solar panel. Got a very long speaker wire and had the solar panel in the hot sun while I sat in the shade. Solar wasn't very good at charging up the radio. Used batteries for night time use. Still have it I think.
YES! Yes! Analog! Digital is really not an improvement.
This is the number one item for storage in a Faraday cage. Also include rechargeable batteries, and a solar charger.
Great video CP!
If I said it once, then I've said it a million times, knowledge is power! In a crisis, it's great to have comms between members of your own prep group, but you also need to get information from outside your circle that's being broadcast too. Whether it's severe weather or SHTF, you need to know what's happening beyond your line of site whether it's a mile or a thousand miles away and heading towards you.
Thumbs up CP!
I agree with you - analog radios are the way to go for long-term reliability in adverse conditions. I have an old analog Radio Shack AM/FM/SW radio that is over 40 years old and it still works just fine. It doesn't have solar charging, NOAA, USB, or any of that fancy stuff but I know it will work 10 or even 20 years from now if I ever need to dust it off and put in into service.
That was one of the first things that I checked off on my preparedness list. 👍😎
And don't forget to practice using the radios ( and ALL your prepper gear!) before you actually need it. Try using all the radios to tune to a particular station (like WWV), make up a dipole antenna for Shortwave, use the a solar panel to charge a NiMH cell or the Kaito radio, charge the Kaito using the crank, practice firestarting, purify some rainwater, pitch a tent, etc.
I've had one of these for a few years, the KA500 ( you may have mentioned them in an older video ), I appreciate the tip with the wire! I'll have to pick up a smaller one for my bag. Great radios!
Awesome video, attaching a metal hanger to the antenna works well for better reception.
I hook my antenna to the neutral bar in my circuit breaker box. Then the whole power grid is my extended antenna. I picked up a station from China!
woah...may you please make a tutorial on how to do that?
@@caasizednanreh4423 please dont do it. if the power comes on those things could get hot. BUT you could hook to a ground bar or any ground in your electric system.
@@williamdaniels6943 thanks for looking out!
Why would you connect to the neutral and not the ground ?
@@seedsoutdoors3721 modern electrical systems require the electrical box to be bonded. That means that neutral is connected to ground by your bonding lug.
Thanks CP I guess I had a hand in this video after asking ya on Instagram ! Lol keep up the great work dude it's much appreciated
Just stumbled upon this video.
Kaito is always a good choice. They have worked very hard to bring their quality control up.
They have a great Tech support, and handle all Warranty problems out of California. I’ve dealt with them on a Tecsun, and have purchased a few Kaito radios.
Kaito specializes in Emergency Radios,.
The KA-500 is one of the most popular radios sold. And well worth the price.
Sensitivity/Selectivity on the KA-500 is quite decent. I’m in Jacksonville Florida, and had no problems receiving all locals, semi-locals, and a few long distance stations.
FM very good.
Short Wave is fair, but improves with “Longwire “ antenna.
📻🙂
You need to crank the dynamo much faster- 2 revolutions per second.
I spoke to the service technician at Kaito in California. The solar panel on the KA500 will NOT charge the internal battery. You need to install AA alkaline cells or charge the internal internal battery via USB. You might be able to power the radio using the solar panel, if you have bright sunshine.
The smaller radio is designed to keep the battery charged via the solar cell, after you charge it via a USB adapter.
Awesome video CP. I really like that Voyager simply because it has so many different ways to power it. With any of these radios, the more wire you can get in the air the better reception you're going to get. It's a great idea using your rain gutters as antennas. If you're away from home, one could bundle a 50 foot piece of wire with an alligator clip attached to one end, to connect to the antenna if your radio.
Some people might be wondering why the heck they need a shortwave radio. Well if you're in the disaster Zone, local FM and AM radio stations are also in the disaster Zone. Shortwave broadcasters are usually outside of your local area. They broadcast in a variety of different languages, and also on different bands. Now the thing that's important about the bands of those radios, is shortwave broadcasters will transmit on one band during the day, and another band during the night to reach the same target listeners. So it's important to know what stations are transmitting on what band/frequency, at what time of day. Like everything else in preparedness, we need to practice and train to make the most of technology.
By the way thanks for the shout-out CP

Sure, but I'd take the Tecsun range over the Kaito in a heartbeat. Way better sensitivity, great DSP (USA made Silicon Labs SI4735), and they do CW/LSB/USB modes on top. Some models even accept a microSD for recording reports, wx, morse, etc... got to love those Tecsuns.
Although, why settle for Rx only? A wide open portable HF receiver with decent selectivity AND tri-band Tx + APRS + GPS that fits in a tight jeans pocket and weighs next to nothing? And it can mod to Tx on Marine VHF and Air-band? ... and still take a long wire in a tree. Umm, yes please : )
I'll never understand why so many peppers are attracted to shiny junk : /
@@garychap8384 The Tecsun radios tend to be more expensive, and don't have many of the emergency features that the Kaito has.
I've had a Kaito for a while now, but I am looking into a Tecsun since I'm getting into the whole Shortwave thing.
Would an antenna like that need grounding for safety reasons?
Sir,
i agree with you concerning the analog vs digital. I have the analog version as well as the digital version. The digital one has a "time" always on which drains the charge all the time and it is actually harder to get a station "dialed" in because it will automatically skip over certain stations whereas the analog one allows for the manual "dialing" in of stations.
It's probably not the RTC draining the battery in a digital radio - it's more likely the DSP or display... either way, the drain is nothing that cannot be adequately countered with even a small inefficient solar panel.
Personally, I'd go for a Tecsun over the Kaito. Great selectivity and sensitivity, a quality US made DSP, Larger band-plan and adds CW and SSB(USB/LSB) modes... Tecsuns are a common 'listener' recommendation of Amateur Radio licensees.
Although... again, why bother when you can get an open HF/SW receiver... with a professional 2m/70cm/50m transceiver, that can be 'opened' to Tx on Marine VHF and Airband (yes please!) ... capable of full duplex, doing UU/UV/VV... programmable channel scanning... and APRS... and GPS... and a data port... in a truly tiny and light HT that fits in the pocket of a very tight pair of jeans.
Prepper gear should be light, very flexible and dependably robust... something you'd trust your life to. Something adaptable to changing circumstances. Not shiny junk : /
Awesome great info to have Canadian Prepper 👍
I have a very good Digital compact version of which I keep in my Faraday Cage Box when not in use. But these radio's are a good item to have on hand when in a Natural Disaster SHTF situation. Another good item I have is a Compact "Solar Powered Battery Charger for AAA/AA" 4 at a time.
Great info. Best bet to having some type of information gathering devise. Stay strong
Lol. French. Love the gear reviews but even better is when you review them in the field. Thanks for the accurate reviews.
I bought a pocket Kaito multiband radio a few years ago. It runs on two AA batteries only, but they last a long time. I paid just $10 or so, and it is probably the most useful bang for $10 ever. The need to string up a huge antenna really depends on your location. I've never had a problem with reception.
I have one leftgutter left didn't know what too do with it soo I just put it in my bugout bag thank u soo much now ik I should keep it for the radio
Just Picked Up My 500A, Brand New In The Box For $20 on OfferUp. Thanks For The Review CP! 👍🏻
In my 30 years of survival-type radios, the ONLY one that is still operating is my BayGen Freeplay. The little cheap, crankers and solars are good toys, in my opinion. If you want something to play with, they are great. If you want a "survival" radio, you need to break out the billfold and get something that's going to last. Unfortunately, the BayGen is tough to find anymore. Glad I got mine when I did.
I also would NEVER buy a radio with internal only batteries. Get something that takes easily found replaceable bats, such as AA or similar.
Appreciate all your work n uploading vids. Thanks.
First, these are EMERGENCY radios.
Solar panels and cranks are there JUST IN CASE.
NOT full time use.
That’s why there are OTHER WAYS to charge the battery pack, AND USING “AA” or “AAA” batteries.
And not all Kaito radios are “cheap “ .
And there are the Sangean, and C.Crane radios if you don’t like Kaito radios ( with a 1year warranty).
📻😐
I like analog verses a digital band radio as one has more freedom to feel out faint signals as opposed to digital which has fixed settings. I also like the reading lamp as it is brighter than the flash light when moving from one area to another. Also having a selector knob to capture 6 other weather band frequencies and combined with short wave bands. There is also a switch on the back of the radio when selecting charging capabilities from dynamo to charge the cell phone, or recharging via solar panel. I like your review and antenna hacks and that you offer the adapter that is a seperate acessory to power the radio from a wall outlet. Or recharge the internal battery. Thank you Nate for posting this content on you tube.
I love it. Sold.
I have the Kaito KA550 in Silver. Great little radio 👍 📻 🎶
A recommendation for a book or booklet regarding the use of radio in disasters or emerencies would be helpful.
If you usae a wirew to extendthe antenna, stay away from house! Electrical noise will always find you.
And its far worse in the digital age!
Google offers language translation earbuds about 170 apparently works best with high end smartphones like their cell line. This would be great for listening to different language shortwave broadcasts.
here in the US weather band channels broadcast emergency info and Amber Alerts. this a very nice set of radios, I used to have a shortwave "boom box", I enjoyed listening to Spanish language channels
Great idea!
That's the radio that I have. It is awesome! works really well.
I just got mine, great little radio.
Good prices,be my next purchase cycle! God bless
I've got so many items I want to order from you....especially your BugOut roll. Seems like every time I save a few bucks something breaks down. But I'm getting one dang it!
You've got a nice summer tan on. BEAUTIFUL
I've had some thing similar to the medium size version for years in my SHTF bag... It has some bulk but I'd rather have it and be able to ditch it then to be with out!!!
I used touch the TVs antenna ( no power don’t worry. It double my distance my walk-in talkie went a whole mile her whizz. It does work
I had this old paper clip. Like really old. I don’t know how but my older plasma was getting crisp HD channels. This was after the tv stations switched to whatever they use now. I don’t really watch tv. The tv also didn’t have that converter box built in so I thought that’s what made it strange. It doesn’t work anymore either. I figured the type of metal has a lot to do with it. Good stuff with this radio. It’s on my wish list due to the variety of ways to power it.
hello mate , i would love to see you do some videos on traps and trapping especially for long term survival / food procurement
those can be hard to do.....not so much in making them but in posting them lol
I do trap making vids all the time mate ..... but i dont show kills though , would love to see CP do some demos or even just what ones a prepper could buy
JJR SURVIVAL
There are plenty of videos on RUclips about that. I personally watch to hear what he talks about, and I think if he started making videos about how to do things it’d be too... busy.
my SW antenna is a long wire wrapped around the waterpipes. i have good reception. i got china international and NHK japan with that antenna, and im located in Hungary
Fully agree brother,communications a real need! Cause I'm bugging out your direction,screw this swamp land,I prefer the cold! At least till I can make my way to my property in the west!
Sn1perOn3 D.M I like the cold too. Food lasts longer, less people, and it's easier to stay warm in a cool climate that cool in a hot climate.
Thanks
Interesting option....since most people in the cities, don't communicate openly...having this crank option radio is a good choice.
something i did was put the materials i need to make an AM foxhole radio in my bug out bag just as a back up. AM stations are not the best, but it's a back up.
Usually, the batteries dont last long in the weather radios, ive putted batteries in mine like 5-6 days ago, and had to replace them yesterday (AA batteries). With the power cord, when theirs a power outage (happened a couple days ago for me) they do go out. Im on the east coast of the usa.
Buy the optional 6V adapter to use the KA500, because the cheap 600 mAh battery they put in the radio doesn't charge well or doesn't last long. The solar panel will not charge the internal battery, and is only supposed power the radio in bright direct sunlight, or to maintain a full charge after you charge it using a 6V source.
Only the newer KA500 radios have the micro-USB input for charging the internal battery.
Good luck getting a clear signal on the Weather Band unless you are close the to transmitter.
Your channel is just awesome. One of the most informative and entertaining channels on RUclips.
Thanks bro
When you crank a dynamo to charge the battery, you need to turn it 3 times-per-second. You will get nothing from turning it slowly or casually, as in this video.
Since the dynamo charging is so inefficient, you are better off with extra power banks, or a big solar panel, which depends on sunny weather, obviously.
Exactly!
I think the sun will power this with the battery removed or dead. My Kaito KA500L works great in the sun with the rechargeable battery removed. I was very surprised!
Really?!? If so that’s awesome!
I reccomend just getting an SDR if you want maximum receive capability, or a ham radio if you want the ability to transmit. The main advantage of this thing is all the different ways you can power it.
A baofeng for on the foot is good aswell. Just goes 5 to 10 km but you can transmit with it aswell
I have voyager v2 (well its more or less generic radio receiver, same radio different manufacturer) for few years now and for its price its great. Not as useful at day, good at night. I Live in central europe and can get Russian, hungarian, Turkish, UK channels with ease, English chinese every day, occasionally Few australian ones, and did hit one of those private christian radio stations from US once or twice.its great little radio, holds charge well (around 6 hours playing from fully charged internal battery pack), has good reception (esp with antenna mods) and is quite loud for its size. Not sure if its manufacture error, but mine has few mm of play on tuning knob, and it can be major pita to fine tune radio.
ApocGuy
Kaito makes radios for many other “brands”.
📻🙂
I actually own that radio. It's actually amazing.
Which one?
@@Thisisahandle701 I don't remember the model. It cost me about 86 bucks
About the Chanel that you picked it was Radio-canada in Montreal. 95.1 Fm but i didn't knew they emitied on SW. The guys name is Boucard Diouf, he comes from Africa with a France accent. Hope that helps. 😊
Have you ever done a comparison of similar size solar radios from a dead battery to full charge to find out which charges fastest given the radios happen to also have the same capacity battery?
I don't want a radio. Ignorance is bliss. I'll be like those WW2 Japanese soldiers, 20 years later still on some remote island, keeping the war alive. Keep up the good work!
Uhh...have you seen "Final Destination"? Obviously, that radio will kill you first.
I've tryed lots of different kinds...
Most don't do what is said as far as the power side there made to sit on a shelf and not used
There doesn't seem to be an emergency radio out there without a handful of easily avoidable design issues that make the price tag on them something dubious. One example is that you argue the reliability of analog, but these are digital devices. They're a circuit board bolted to the front half of a plastic case with some doodads attached that doubles as a power bank. So few of these have any decent indicators of battery life, and those that do have some glaring and inescapable issues of their own. The last thing I want is to be out and dependent on gear only for it to die on me unexpectedly, and being unable to diagnose problems before the impact of those problems becomes devastating is a hard pill when it's $60 in the air.
I have that item - mine has a siren that I plug into my PA system, so I can do the theme of the black sheep 😎
Black sheep siren prob went over a lot of heads here...lol.
Me, I hear that siren, I get the urge to jump into my Corsair and fly with Pappy!...lol
KA500L and KA600L versions have larger solar panel, 2000 mAh battery and better sound, but do not have the 3 AA batteries option for power. For me the L versions are preferable. Also for SW reception you need a improvised wire antenna of 5 to 7 meters, or you can buy several models like Kaito T-1. There are also AM antennas for improved reception in this band like AN-100 and AN-200.
Electronicos Caldas
Really, any decent length of wire is a big help.
And those passive loop AM ( Medium Wave) antennas are excellent.
Good advise.
📻🙂
That's hilarious, all of my ex's live in Texas too lol
My X lives in TX too. I lived there for 12 yrs. I also have an X in Michigan where I lived for 32 yrs. Now im living in NC and single 4 life ✌🏻
very Nice review .can it be used full time on my night stand as a noaa alert in case of nighttime bad weather alert? of would you recommend a stand a lone noaa weather alert radio?
thanks
I have the KA500 voyager. What or how does the NOAA function on the far right knob above kaito on the radio work
Would you still recommend these radios or are there better options today?
Thanks, long time subscriber.
It's a tough time for delivery but, my ka 268 should arrive soon from ya'll.
The CBC no longer broadcasts SW which sucks when ur way in the bush and want some kinda radio. What North American frequencies have others found SW uses found?
I have many all band all mode transceivers so that type of radio is not needed though I do own one.
i know nothing about solar gear... if i say ...hook me up with a extra folding solar panel.what do i need ? for example are thes usb like the cellphone ones ?
Keep in mind, it can take months to discharge a radio battery in todays radios. As long as you are not transmitting.
Would the Hand Crank recharge any of the AAAs you would insert? That would be handy.
So, here's my question. Back in the old days, when TV signals were analog, you could get an AM/FM/TV audio radio from Radio Shack pretty cheaply. There were many occasions when bad storms hit, the power went out, and tornado sirens were blaring in the distance, I could break out that little radio and listen to the local news coverage for more information. Nowadays, since TV went to digital, no one appears to be making a AM/FM/TV radio anymore. At least, I haven't found one. Which is a shame since the local TV media can be a vital source of info in a cell down situation. Yes, there's local AM/FM stations. But, most stations only give small blurb on the half hour, or on the top of the hour, if you're lucky. TV media on the other hand usually goes wall-to-wall with thier coverage. News is their bread and butter. Wereas, music is a radio stations bread and butter. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of any good gear out there that is portable that will pick up digital TV audio? Thanks.
Robert Long
Unfortunately since TV went digital( North America), no one makes a radio for digital TV signals.
📻😐
I think one must get one that can also transmit for emergency communication. Is there such one that exists?
Last weekend I was checking items in my GoBag and decided to see if the little red square Etón 300 crank radio still worked after almost 30 years, although none of the cellphone connectors for charging are still in use as USB wasn’t the standard yet. I also tested a 20 year old Etón 350 we had, crank radio worked fine, but the rubber pieces on the ends have become sticky. Thinking of replacing it with the Kaito KA500, but wonder about the rubber on that becoming sticky in time. Any thoughts?
A bit late, but have you tried dusting them with talc? Talk can really help remove surface oils from sticky old rubber that has 'sweated out'
No I didn’t think of that… but someone snatched it up from the Free Bench within 10 minutes of me putting it out there with a note saying it works & baggies of connectors that go to nothing current.
. The other one (not sticky but old cranky) still lives happily in GoBag in my old car a niece is now driving. I have a new yellow 500 that works great. We used it during our April quake anniversary drill, & will in 6 months as part of equipment check. Hope you are doing well.
I got the KA500 from eBay for 42.99 USD free shipping which included all accessories (plus the 6V wall wort). Do not depend on the telescoping rod antenna for Shortwave, but it works pretty well for the NOAA weather, and FM reception. The radio works pretty well with a single 18650 outside the radio (you can parallel two 18650 batteies for longer use before recharging), or a 14450 with 2 dummy batterys in the battery case in the back, both are rechargeable batteries available used or new. Both batteries are 4.0V fully charged. You can use nickel metal hydride rechargeables with no modifications (1.4V fully charged even though most are rated at 1.2V after long storage). I would hesitate to use alkaline or zinc batteries as they cannot be recharged at all. ( The solar panel recharges any battery in the battery compartments, and alkaline or zinc batteries must not be recharged). When you cannot pick up WWV or WWVA with the rod antenna, this radio needs help with a longwire antenna that can be clipped to the unextended telescoping rod antenna with an alligator clip available at most Ace Hardware stores. The NOAA alert feature works well as I found out during the last storm system that passed through. It activated several times for tornado and severe storm warnings. All in all, this radio should have SSB capability for the price. Still, it is portable enough to fit in your "got to go" bag. Kaito should make a shortwave/AM SSB capable radio without the FM and NOAA features that is more selective and sensitive than their usual radios.

.......or, you could find a higher capacity battery pack(s).
Great radio. You will enjoy it. ( careful you don’t do something to void your 1 year warranty).
FM has become essential in UK now since BBC removed many, including essential World Service, from AM. DAB is there but very battery-hungry. At least we are within range of other Euro-stations.
What do you think of Tecsun PL680? I need a good shortwave radio to use from home. Thanks.
Theres an alternative one for 23$ at canadian tire it might not be the best but for 23 bucks what do you want you can even charge ur phone solar powerd and crancked
Sweet that’s what I have 😘👍✌️.
My friend Juliano really needs to buy one. I have tried to tell him for a long time, but he wont listen. What should I do in order to make him buying one?
What all will work on the radio once the internal battery expires?
*I think that maybe the solar (circuitry) and the radio would be nullified if SHTF because of a EMP detonation. However, until THAT happens I am getting one to use in the meantime! Seriously!*
Hey CP do you have a video on the best SHTF Comms? Ham?
the man you are hearing is named Boukar Diouf. he is a marine biologist. he has a radio show in Québec.
What radio do you suggest to date now? @canadianprepper
Even if the needle dose get stuck and the needle is fixed, the dial will still get the channels , you just can't see anything.
hooray for analog!
Please upday. Thank you
Are you sure it’s aaa for the larger voyager? I’ve had one for a few years and I’m pretty sure mine takes aa.
You're correct, it's AA.
Would this be good in the case of a nuclear event when your sheltering in place and need to hear whatever info there is out there especially if your in a basement where reception might not be good
All the radios are much more expensive now, almost tripled in price. Do you really use the short waves? Would the Kaito Voyager eco or Fospower A1 work as a bugout bag or blackout radio?
How do they do in very cold weather living outside?
An old metal slinky makes a good antenna
Hi will the voyager radio work in the UK. I.e the radio frequency etc etc
Digital stuff is sensitive to shocks, so if you would drop a digital radio, it might break. The analog radios are more sturdy, so you could bump it, throw it in a bag with tools, or anything else you'd do in a panic or a rush, and it should survive.

Correct. “John has a long Mustache “

It IS mustache.
📻🙂
... can you update this - if time allows? Thanks in advance.
I've owned the Voyager for about three years and it's okay, but the shortwave reception has a major downside...no fine tuning. You have to turn the knob painfully slow to pick up shortwave on it. If they put in a fine tuner or spaced the band out more, it would be so much better. The USB charger is mostly useless too, but other than those two downsides, it's a solid radio for $40.00 American.
Dantastic you may fair better with the dedicated 12 band sw options I discuss later in video
Canadian Prepper hey Nate, great 👍 video on this radio.
Wanted to get your input of another radio 📻 the Midland ER 310 it even comes with a dog whistle
Thanks. It costs UKP74 here! But tricky SW tuning reminds me of the 60s! I have an Eton (Grundig-designed) S359DL which often picks up FM from Brest, France, here in Plymouth but need a hand crank solar radio too.
Location makes a big difference.....whats your location? I assume its better to be on the east coast.
You can get it for 44.00 with all the adaptors, I just bought the smaller one, 2 for 27.00 Walmart.com
9:22 ... there it is! No digital for me...
