This little jewel will not only entertain you with your favorite radio station, it will also give you rather decent light and will sound a very loud alarm so that you can be rescued. It will also tell you the ambient temperature and will even tell you the time.
No, it is not a high tech digital radio that can scan the tropics of radio transmissions and provide incredible reception, but it really does the job it was designed to do. It will light your way. It will connect you with world band radio. It will scream a loud siren to help you be found among the rubble that once was your home. It will comfort you. And, if you haven't even given it alkaline batteries, all you have to do is turn the crank. Miracle of miracles, this little radio will love you.

Every thing works well on this item except the winding of the magneto. It is hard to turn and must be turned rapidly to generate enough energy to operate the unit. The good part is with a storage battery built in and the common battery cells, you will probably never need to wind it.
 A Very good emergency tool September 24, 2005

I bought the Kaito KA888 radio a couple of weeks ago for
shortwave and in case of an emergency. It is a real nice
radio for emergencys with its features, the compass,time,
temperture,and a perfect bright light during night or
black outs.The radio is pretty good and smooth.The KA888
has AM,FM and shortwave (4bands) with quality sound on FM
AM. The shortwave is ok and not the most clearest,but this
specialliaces on being for emergencys.Which its very good
for that.I kept the radio for about a week and returned it
for the KA077 emergency radio because it covered more bands
like VHF,TV,and weather bands.For me I liked this one better
for my interest and needs.I would say that both radios are
nice.It just depends what you need and want.The KA888and
KA077 are good quality radios for a good price.

ordered the Kaito KA888 emergency radio for a present. It worked for exactly one day, then the AC adaptor died, making it impossible to use the radio on current or recharge it. Then the solar function stopped a few days later.
I have been in contact with the company and am returning it for a replacement, as that first day was wonderful.
I'll let you know if the replacement one works.
very disappointing so far.
