I purchased this model for a *Stocking filler* for my dad over 20 years ago with this and he never put it down till his death in 2022, crazy eh ! It cost less than £5 ...Great

I found one cleaning out a car at a car lot. It is pretty beat, but working. Actually, as long as you don’t expect much, it is actually useable. I keep it in my glove box in my work truck.

They work pretty well on FM

The AM radio circuit has poor selectivity because it is tuned RF and not superheterodyne.

I still have the exact same lil darlin' although the grey paint over the grill flaked so I rubbed it all off , now it's all shite and briny . I bought it last century and it still works fine today. I was ripped off, cost me £3.75 . I also have a Kchibo the same size but upright with digital screen and clock/ alarm clock . I'd love to get my hands on a couple more .... they are perfect for up-tuning to airband for pocket aircraft ear wigging . Good to see someone else has a soft spot for them. I have just posted a clip of my Kchibo, it is as tiny as The Kaide, . It has been up-tuned on FM to cover 107.2 Mhz to 132.2 Mhz. If you know of it or know a model number , I'd love to know . kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmHKqadqeZ6Enas

hi buddy. I know they are cheap and nasty, but as you said you can't complain for that sort of money. The aerial alone would cost you that, first again buddy,

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Yes your back in the lead. No idea how they can even make a radio for this money. Let alone one that works pretty well and can be shipped from the other side of the world.

I think it's a ripoff of Kaito, another radio company

[@jeffking4176]

EvanPlayzGames Yes, KAITO does make one similar, and is a bit quite a bit better- but is limited, being a DSP. “Long Range “ radio. Quality is better,too.

I thought Kaito smacked Peter Sellers over the head in Pink Panther ...
