Default Twin Coil Ferrite CCSW

I have heard the advertisement that the new CCrane has the twin coil
for BCB reception. How is the twin coil in this radio the same as the
actual add-on? They can't fit all that in the radio. ;-)

Is it really the same antenna as the add-on? I have wanted to get the
Twin Coil then I heard the commercial, what gives?


NO, it is NOT. It is a twin coil antenna but NOT the same as the add
on. I have the radio and was suprised that medium wave reception is a
tad BELOW that of the CCRadio. It's a great radio. It's better on FM
than the CCRadio, and excellent on shortwave for a radio in this price
range. But the twin coil advertising CCrane is doing is very
misleading if not really misrepresenting the product.
