Kaito KA500 Voyager
Kaito has been making some of the best multi-power radios for years. That experience really shows in
the KA500 Voyager. The Voyager has the most versatile power system we have seen. It has a built in solar panel that rotates a full
180 degrees so you can get the best angel for maximum power. The solar panel can power the radio or charge the built in NI-MN batteries.
A large, easy to use dynamo crank, combined with a high quality AC brushless generator, assures you of power even when the sun isn't shining.
The Voyager can be powered by 3 AA batteries, or an AC adaptor which is included. It can even be powered by a
USB port on a computer or other device. The built in batteries are user replaceable should the need arise.
The KA500 has battery level, charging and tuning indicators which help you get the most from your radio.
The Voyager picks up AM/FM as well as shortwave in two bands, 3.20-8.00MHz and 9.00-22MHz. What really sets the Voyager apart is its
NOAH weather radio pre-tuned to the 7 National Weather Service bands. It can even pick up local weather alert signals to warn
you of severe weather in your area. This is a much requested feature that is especially nice when combined with the multi-power
sources you can use with the Voyager. The KA500 Voyager includes an LED flashlight, a red SOS emergency light and a 5 LED reading light
on the back of the solar panel, making sure that you can not only listen to the radio, and see to get around, but also easily read. The Voyager
can charge USB devices like Blackberry, IPod/MP3 players and more. It even includes six cell phone charging tips for the most common phones.
The Voyager gives you the option of the built in wide dynamic range speakers for crystal sound, or the included headphones for private listing.
The rubberized carry strap and body give this radio a comfortable feeling in your hand. It is water resistant so you can take it with you
anywhere. It is 8"X5"X2.6". When you buy a Voyager we are including the bonus of an AC adapter, a $15.95 value! All this adds up to make the KA500
Voyager one of the best designed Solar/Dynamo multi-power radios we have seen. It is great for camping, fishing, hunting; use on the farm,
garden, yard or beach, and it really shines in an emergency, providing you with communication, light and power for your other devices. What really makes
this radio unique among multi-power radios, is the weather radio with NOAA Weather Alert, helping to keep you and your family informed and safe.

Kaito KA007 Shortwave Radio
This updated version
has many improvements, including a more powerful solar panel allowing you to
power the radio directly from the sun, even when
not listening with headphones. The new AC dynamo is quieter and more
reliable as it doesn't have brushes to wear out. It also has
a broader SW coverage. All in all, we think the new Kaito K007 is worth
way more than its price!
This amazing radio can be powered 4 different ways. Set the radio in the sun and
it will play or charge the internal NIMH batteries - 4 hours charging in bright sun gives
24 hours play time (Cloudy days give about half power.) You can listen at low
volume with the built in speaker in low light, or with the included earphone
with even less light. Turning the dynamo generator for
1 minute will give 10-30 minutes of listening time depending on how dead the batteries
are and the playing volume. The high quality hand crank is much larger than on
most dynamo radios making it easier to turn. You can use an AC (included) or DC adapter to charge the
internal NIMH batteries - 4 hours of charging provides 72 hours play time!! You can even use
3 AA batteries to power the radio giving you the ultimate in versatility.
The internal NIMH (no memory) batteries
can be charged 500 or more times, and the radio will play from solar energy, AA batteries, or AC
power even after the internal batteries are dead.
This radio allows you to listen to your favorite AM/FM or TV station.
You can also tune in to exciting shortwave broadcasts
from around the world. Thats not all, you can even pick up Weather, Police, and Taxi bands.
Sony integrated circuits assure you of superb reception on all bands. The KA007
has HI and LO battery and Tune LEDs. The compact size (6 1/2" x 5 1/2" X 2 1/4") makes
this shortwave radio easy to take with you everywhere. The KA007 shortwave radio comes
with an AC adapter, earphones, and soft antenna. Also included is an instruction manual
with an FAQ section and some shortwave frequencies to get you started.
These accessories alone are nearly worth the cost of the radio!!

Ka-888 short wave radio- flashlight- thermometer- compass- siren- time
Made in China
The KA-888 is what a radio really should be;
with great features for camping or home use, and is a must for any emergency kit.
You can find multi-powered radios, and even radios with built-in lights are not uncommon, but the KA-888 goes beyond the ordinary and includes
all the following: a compass, thermometer, green emergency light, siren, plus a clock with an alarm. The KA-888 also has a small storage
compartment that would be great for a small first aid kit, matches, or for holding the included ear phones and external soft antenna.
With the built in NI-MI batteries you don't have to worry about losing batteries or the memory affect as with older rechargeables.
The KA-888 has 4 ways to charge so you'll never be out of power when you need it!
On sunny days you can use the solar panel to listen to the radio or to charge
the batteries. It takes about 12 hours to get 6 to 8 hours of play time.
If it's not sunny you can use the dynamo to charge the KA-888: 2 minutes of cranking will play the radio alone for 20 minutes. 40 minutes of cranking will give you a full charge.
It has a charging indication light so you can tell when you are cranking at the correct speed.
If you are around civilization you can use the included AC adapter to plug in.
As a last resort you can even use 3 AA batteries to power the KA-888. If all of that is not enough for you, consider
the radio part of the KA-888 (remember that?) can not only pick up AM and FM stations, but can also receive shortwave broadcast.
With the shortwave radio you can pick up English speaking channels almost anywhere in the world, on land or sea, and it is great
to keep up on world news.
Band Specifications
| AM: | 530KHz-1710KHz |
| FM: | 87.50MHz-108MHz |
| SW1: | 6.00-12MHZ |

Shortwave Antennas
We highly recommend a shortwave antenna to give you the best clarity, and increased range when
using your radio to pick up SW signals. These portable Antennas easily clip onto
the built-in telescoping antenna on most shortwave radios.
ACDelco Generator and Solar Radio
by Sun-Mate
The Sun-Mate Radio is surely one of the most versatile radios built with its 6 way power system:
- Its self contained solar cell uses free energy from the sun. Charge time is 10
hours in full sun for a play time of 12 hours.
- It has a built-in hand generator. You simply rotate the dynamo generator in a
clockwise direction 100 times for 6 minutes of playtime.
- It has an internal rechargeable circuit.
- You can power the radio with an AC/DC wall adapter (optional) that takes 5 hours to charge to a playtime of 12 hours.
When fully charged the radio will play for over 50 hours.
- It plays on two alkaline or recharagable AA batteries. (optional)
Any of the above power sources can be used to charge the built-in battery, or 2 AA rechargable batteries
(not included).
This design
allows you to easily replace the batteries rather than having to
throw away the whole radio. This also allows you to use your Solar Mate as a battery
charger. With these versatile power options you never need to be unprepared for emergencies. The ACDelco Radio
also features a light to guide your way in dark conditions. Included are an extra bulb and two colored emergency
lamp covers (one red and one amber). The ACDelco Radio can receive broadcasts on 4 bands:
- AM 540 to 1700 Khz
- FM 88 to 108 Mhz
- TV 68 to 88 Mhz (CH.4 to 6)
- SW 4.0 to 15 Mhz
Solar Mate's features include:
- The tuning indicator helps you find the strongest signal for the best listening.
- Low battery indicator lets you know when the battery is low and needs recharging.
- Automatic Frequency Control allows you to listen to drift free FM reception with reduced distortion.
- Telescoping Antenna for good FM reception
- Earphone Jack for private listening
- Carrying strap
- Convenient built in handle for carrying, or for holding the Sun Mate securely,
making the cranking of the dynamo an
easy task. Some dynamo radios are quite difficult to crank as
you can't get a good grip on the unit, not so with the Sun Mate.
The Sun Mate radios are manufactured with Sony components for great quality.
Their Solar Cells are made in the USA, and have a lifetime warranty.
They are 3" x 9" x 5.5" making them a great, compact AM/FM, and Shortwave Radio that you can
take with you wherever you go.
