Another radio, another glowing positive review by Ann E. Revelle.
What is the advantage of this radio over the $50 Grundig G8, besides having an air band?

I don't get it either. No AM?

Looks like a modified DE/KA105 or DE/KA106.

Is Ann E. Revelle the Kaito´s ceo wife?...as far as I remember, the Kaito owner was writing his owns reviews on Amazon..

I don't know who Ann is, but it seems like she never met a radio she didn't like ;-)

Being curious, I looked at all of the Amazon reviews for "Anne E Revelle". If her Amazon reviews are to be believed, she must own every single calculator, radio and backpack known to man! Either "she" is a compulsive shopper for these items (especially calculators), or it is a pseudonym for whoever distributes these types of products. At any rate, with most every product reviewed receiving perfect marks, I can't say this is the most valued reviewer on Amazon...

If I recall correctly, she lives in Los Alamos, NM; probably a scientist at the labs there. No, she's probably just a compulsive buyer/collector of radios, like many of us here ;-). Either that, or it's a pseudonym for someone who works at Kaito or Eton.

I know what it's like to be a compulsive buyer of radios. But over the years I've grown to not like small portables. I hate the sound, especially on AM. I'm tempted to buy a Sony TFM-1000 however.

Actually, she wrote a somewhat negative review of the Grundig G8 a couple of months ago.
This airband radio should sell well since the least expensive airband radio was selling for $99 on special.
It is nice to have a girl writing radio reviews.
