Buy It. - I bought the Kaito KA390 Portable AM/FM Shortwave Radio for our household to use as an emergency radio for disaster preparation. It uses 4 “D” batteries. The radio reception on all radio bands are excellent. It is not overly large in size, but it is not a pocket-size radio, either. It is a great portable radio for taking to the beach, to a vacation destination, to the park, or to a sporting event. It is a reliable radio, with great sound coming out from the speaker. I highly recommend that you buy it for your family, for yourself, or as a gift to someone. Review: Great value for a very flexible portable radio - The negative reviews on this radio puzzle me. It's a cheap portable radio. It's designed for low cost, portability and excellent battery life - and it scores 10/10 on all three. Sound quality is really very good for a monaural radio - more than satisfactory for me - and even though it has analog tuning, I find it easy to surf the bands looking for stations. In fact, I bought an extra one for a blind friend of mine precisely because the radio is so simple to use with few controls and no mysteries. If I had a criticism, it would be that the radio's way of snapping into signal reception on the AM and shortwave bands is a bit abrupt, making it difficult to receive weak stations. This would not be my first choice for a shortwave radio. For strong AM and FM station reception (and even medium-strength stations), I think it's excellent, and having weather radio frequency reception on a low-end analog radio such as this is an excellent bonus. Don't buy it as your primary radio, but use it in power failures, for camping, for travel, and anywhere that you don't want to risk your expensive radio and yet want flexibile capability. I would buy another again in a heartbeat if mine disappeared. ## Features - Comprehensive coverage of AM, FM, shortwave and 7 NOAA weather channels for entertainment, sports, talk-shows, breaking news around the world, and 24/7 real-time weather forecast (USA and Canada ONLY) - Telescopic antenna extends up to 32" for high sensitivity reception assisted by advanced semiconductor circuitry design for pin-point tuning accuracy, - 3” dynamic speaker delivers loud and crispy sound, even in a noisy environment, such as a garage or a workshop, plus a 3.5mm earphone jack for private listening - Made of strong premium impact-resistant and water-resistant ABS material, suitable for both indoors home/office use and outdoors recreational activities - Powered by optional 5V/6V AC/DC power adapter (sold separately) or 3 common-type D size batteries (NOT included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071DXSZ7Z | | Additional Features | NOAA Weather | | Best Sellers Rank | #227,798 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #305 in Weather Radios | | Brand | Kaito | | Built-In Media | Owner's Manual, Power Adapter | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Earphone | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 426 Reviews | | Display Type | LED | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) | | Frequency | 108 MHz | | Hardware Interface | 3.5mm Audio | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.75"L x 2.25"W x 6"H | | Item Weight | 15 ounces | | Manufacturer | Kaito | | Mfr Part Number | KA390-BLK | | Model Number | 4330350809 | | Number of Batteries | 3 D batteries required. | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 7.75"L x 2.25"W x 6"H | | Radio Bands Supported | AM, FM | | Special Feature | NOAA Weather | | Style Name | Rugged | | Tuner Technology | AM , FM | | Tuner Type | AM, FM | | UPC | 855851007148 | | Voltage | 5 volts, 6 volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kaito - **Color:** Black - **Connectivity Technology:** Auxiliary - **Included Components:** Owner's Manual, Power Adapter - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Product Dimensions:** 7.75"L x 2.25"W x 6"H - **Radio Bands Supported:** AM, FM - **Special Feature:** NOAA Weather - **Style:** Rugged - **Tuner Technology:** AM, FM ## Images ![KA390 Portable AM/FM Shortwave NOAA Weather Radio with LED Flashlight, Color Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817KcsX4qmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this plug in?** A: It will plug in if you buy the adapter separately. I wouldn't buy this, mine quit working after about 2 months and the company wouldn't stand behind their product. Just a waste of money. **Q: Those lt have a good bass** A: It has a single monaural speaker and it's of a decent size, so it's a lot less tinny than a smaller radio would have, but there is no substitute for size if you want really good bass. **Q: What adapter goes with this so I can plug it in?** A: Mine came with an adapter. Kaito AD500 **Q: Can I use the AC adapter with the 3 size batteries installed?** A: I only use it on AM with batteries I have a AC adapter if I use the AC adapter ( the one I have it is unusable the RF noise makes it unusable, It does not cause a problem on other bands I have tried). I would not expect a problem with both batteries and a problem. I have no idea if the batteries were rechargeable if they would be recharged when a battery and AC supply is connected. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Kaito KA390 Portable AM/FM Shortwave Radio Is A Great Radio.

Turn it on every weekend for a few hrs while BBQin. Still using the same batteries. Battery life is incredible. Keep it in FM only switching to AM sometimes switch gets wonky. Most AM stations I listen to are on FM too. Sound quality is muy bueno. Crisp. Medium tone. Bass is alright. SW no bueno. Have speaker wire attached to tree run to antenna. Does catches sum channels during the day but they sound terrible. AM is good but don’t want to use cuz of the wonky switch. Good buy. Batteries get it a nice solid weight. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kaito KA390 Portable AM/FM Shortwave NOAA Weather Radio with LED Flashlight, Color Black - XHDATA D219 Portable AM FM Shortwave Radio Battery Operated Small Great Reception Radio with Good Sound,Earphone Jack for Elder,Home,Child [Gray] - XHDATA AN-80 Shortwave Reel Antenna FM SW External Antenna Whip Antenna to Improve Signal Reception Suitable for FM SW Radio --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/43696355-ka390-portable-am-fm-shortwave-noaa-weather-radio-with-led](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/43696355-ka390-portable-am-fm-shortwave-noaa-weather-radio-with-led) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
