Kaito T1 Reel Antenna

Kaito Retractable Reel Antenna - For FM & Shortwave Radio's

The Kaito Portable Reel Antenna is a simple but valuable upgrade for anyone relying on a shortwave or emergency radio. In a blackout, bushfire, storm or remote-area situation, information can become one of your most important survival tools. This compact antenna gives your compatible radio extra reach, helping you position the antenna wire where reception is strongest instead of relying only on the small built-in whip antenna.

At approximately 7 metres long, the retractable wire can be extended near a window, outside a tent, around camp or in another open position to help improve signal performance. When not in use, it winds neatly back into its compact reel, making it easy to store in a go bag, vehicle kit, caravan, camping box or home emergency setup.

A smart, lightweight and power-free accessory for Australian preparedness, off-grid travel and emergency radio listening.
