KA888 Solar Crank AM / FM / SW Emergency Radio / Flashlight

The Kaito KA888 is one of  the most versatile emergency radio packages that we have found in our extensive research - this compact unit packs in a multi band emergency radio, a bright flash light, a compass, a thermometer, an audible emergency notification siren and a concealed storage compartment. All these features can be operated indefinitely without external power thanks to the self contained dynamo crank and solar charging panels. Moreover, all these features are contained in a package that weighs less than 2 pounds in a case that measures less than 9” wide and 4” high and 3” deep. With all of these features and compact size, it is understandable that the US and UK armies have already purchased 75,000 of these combination emergency radio devices.

Put one of these radios in your backpack for a hiking trip and you can enjoy music or worldwide broadcasts whether that trip is scheduled to last two hours or two months. Put another in your household emergency kit and it will be ready for you to use in the next power outage.
