I have a few well chosen words about CC Crane. I purchased a
Sangean ATS 909 and after trying it out for a few days I took the
batteries out and stored in my truck in case of emergency.
After 4 months I replaced the batteries and tried to use it, the
speaker was terrible, very poor audio. I called Crane and told
them about the speaker, I was told to return it and they would
repair it for a cost of $ 87.00.
this for a radio that cost me $ 249.00, I contacted Sangean by
E-mail and expressed my opinion of their products.
I will never buy a Crane product again

If it worked okay before storing it in the truck, then maybe your
truck storage is the problem.
