User questions & answers

Question:	will this work for fm stations that have odd frequency like 95.5 etc
Answer:	I like this little radio so much I bought it again after I misplaced the 1st one. It tunes in very well. Receives our 1000 watt, university station (88.3). My only beef is the bottom is so slim it struggles to stand upright if the music has a lot of bass. Certainly not a deal breaker. Love this little radio.
Question:	play while charging
Answer:	I just sat here and did it personally before answering. Yes, you absolutely can play the radio, or MP3s while charging. When connected to a charge cable, the "charging" icon appears. Press the "mode" button to turn on the radio. If you have a TF/SD card installed with MP3s. it will default to that mode and begin playing. Press the FM/AM button to switch to the band you want, or the SW button to play shortwave bands. The "charging" indicator continues to show it's charging the entire time. And yes, also you can connect the power cable and play the radio with no battery in it, although it says in the manual not to. Not really sure how it cold hurt the radio to do so???
Question:	What type of battery does this unit use? Just saying it's lithium isn't good enough
Answer:	The Retekess V115 uses a small removable BL-5C 3.7 volt 1000 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, about a 1.25" wide by 2" inches tall and about 1/8 inch thick. The radio is supplied with a USB charging cable with a standard type B micro connector. No charging transformer is included. Battery life is exceptional. Spare BL-5C lithium-ion batteries and even separate charging accessories are available on the Internet.
Question:	How do you save a radio preset station
Answer:	First auto scan all the stations by follow reviewer Sologemeni · March 27, 2017 answer. For preset station to no.1 button. 1) By push">>II"button to find your prefer station. 2) push orange "Memo 5" button for 2 sec . You will see the "CH XX" flashing. 3) Key in number 01 now show CH 01. 4) Push play button ">II" once and push again one more time to save it to memory OK . Done. You can preset 80 stations on FM, 60 on AM 300 on SW. For me I will not preset more then total 20 stations. WHY ?

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the radio come with the "optional AC power supply" or must that be bought separately
Answer:	Don't recall receiving an AC power supply. I removed the batteries and was able to recover audio by plugging a USB cable into the "USB in 5v" jack. Seems like an acceptable AC power source to me.
Question:	Is radio High Def
Answer:	HD Radio is noted as being High Density, not High Definition. High Density allows digital sub channels within the same bandwidth. This radio does not demodulate or decode HD Radio format stations.
Question:	Does radio come with AC adapter or is that extra
Answer:	AC adapter does NOT come with the radio. It is extra @ Amazon for $14.99. Two AA Batteries last 60 to 70 hours if radio is played at moderate volume. As an emergency radio, I would stock up on a few AA Batteries when power is not available. Also, buy the insurance plan for only $4. Total repair or replacement at no charge. Also, a great radio for camping. Reception would be the only question.
Question:	The listing here says the shipping weight is "0.3 ounces". Does anyone know what this actually weighs? (considering for ditch bag, so weight matters
Answer:	With two standard AA batteries installed the entire unit ( including the little strap )weighs exactly 228 grams or 8.0 ounces. ( 0.502 pounds)

User questions & answers

Question:	Is is better than sony icf-sw7600gr on sw? my sony icf-sw7600gr picks up only some station where i live
Answer:	I bought the Tecsun PL-880 and it is the best for SW, FM and AM. Since it has USB and USB you can tune in the ham bands plus it has the added feature of at least five bandwidth filters that really work well. This sound out of the compact radio is outstanding so if you like to listen to FM its great! The telescopic whip antenna helps with SW but the way I ordered this radio is with a special hard case with a wind up reel antenna that's about 30 feet long, a recorder to record what you have listed to, separate charger block a padded brown carrying case and a lot of other things. I can pick up some stations with the wind up wire inside the house but this radio would really shine if you had an outside long wire antenna. I have tested it that way at a friends home who has a 100 ft long wire and it was incredible how many stations it picks up. I LOVE this radio! There are quite a few things that can be accessed as features that were not in the manual but you can find vids of them on UTube. It is... impressive! Very VERY Pleased!
Question:	What is the firmware version
Answer:	The latest 2280. We are direct factory distributor,we have the newest version !We airship from China every month !kaito Customer Care Team
Question:	Put 880 in its case>case top presses keys>light remains on all the time 880 is in case draining battery. Key lock does not fix this
Answer:	One of the hidden features turns the light off. Pressing the 5 with the radio off toggles between off and normal (auto) for the light. There are quite a few hidden settings for this radio. An internet search for PL880 Hidden Features will give you more information. I have not used this setting.
Question:	Why won’t my battery charge
Answer:	As a rechargeable battery gets older and goes through many charge/ discharge cycles, it may lose its ability to hold a charge. In that case a new battery for the Tecsun PL-880 may be ordered from Amazon.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this product have a reading lamp, a flashlight and a red blicking light
Answer:	Yes to all three questions reading lamp works well has red blinker and flashlight love the radio great for anytime but wonderfull when the lights go out
Question:	If you insert AA batteries, does it override rechargeable batt., or can you switch between? Or do you remove the Nimh pack to make room for AA
Answer:	The optional AA batteries are in addition to the included rechargeable battery. Power selector switch on front allows separate choice of "Batt" (i.e. AA cells), or "Crank/Solar" (which are the two ways of charging up the rechargeable battery). So, if you select "Crank/Solar" the radio is actually running off the rechargeable battery, and attempting to use either the solar cells or the hand crank to keep it charged.
Question:	If the internal rechargeable batteries are dead and there are no back-up batteries installed will the radio work on solar power only
Answer:	Thanks for asking the great question ! Yes, the solar panel is designed that way to work... even when the battery is taken out...KaitoOur new KA500L will last longer..and larger solar panel:https://www.amazon.com/Kaito-Powered-Emergency-Weather-Flashlight/dp/B01GUMPKVU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465594656&sr=8-1&keywords=ka500LKaito
Question:	Description of KA500CAM says 5-way powered emergency radio. Photo of product says 4way powered NOAA WEATHER ALERT. Please exp[ain
Answer:	It has a switch on it for NOAA weather alerts. The 4-way power is this: it has a handle you can turn to charge it, that's 1; it has a solar panel for charging, that's 2; it has a lithium ion (or something) battery that you can plug into the wall to charge, that's 3; and you can also put 3 AA batteries in it to power it, that's 4. 4-ways to charge it. I liked this radio, but wish I had bought the digital one for a few bucks more.

Such simple and easy actions will make all the difference should our worst fear be realized. With Kaito's revolutionary Voyager KA500 6-way powered, multi-functional emergency radio, together we can make a difference!

A radio makes a world of difference
