I'm considering buying the "CCRadio Plus" from the C Crane Co. for use as a
"good" general purpose table radio with an above average AM section. Any
comments?

You might call and ask if they've improved the digital display. I have
a plain CCRadio, and the display only lasted about two years before it
quit showing numbers and letters. Fortunately, I put all of my
favorite stations in memory before the radio went blind.

I asked about their repairing the display, and they want a minimum of
$49.95 plus shipping both ways.

Otherwise it is a good radio, altho' I'm not sure it's really much
better a DX-type radio than others. Still, it does have the 8-inch
ferrite antenna, plus screws where you can attach an external AM
antenna.

My much cheaper GE SuperRadio has about the same receiving
capabilities, but with analog tuning, and a better audio setup; it's
like a little mono boombox.
