The CC (Crane) Radio is the best I've ever used that has straight AM

I read rave reviews so I bought one and the display
failed. I only use the memory channels now. It's
also not any better than my Yacht Boy 400.


Sorry to hear that. Mine is running strong at about 10 years old.

Never played with a Yacht Boy. My experience with Grundigs is with the
smaller/cheaper models which aren't impressive and the giant ones that
are way too expensive for the performance they give. The big ones
aren't bad, but not close to the performance of what I could buy a used
amateur rig for the same price, so I've stayed away.
