Anyone tried the CCRadio2 from CCrane? This is no UltraLite but it is
supposed to be one of the top performing portables.


Supposedly it has a tuned antenna - From one web site: "The twin coil
ferrite is actually tuned to the desired AM frequency via a varactor
diode automatically for about seven seconds after frequency is
changed."


Made by Sangean. It sounds interesting. One review site:http://www.radiointel.com/review-ccrane_ccr2.htm

No SSB or Sync don't waste your money on this Chinese junk.


Ummm - I have a Sangean radio and it's actually pretty darn good. It
has SSB, and it doesn't need sync.


I have a venerable ATS606AP. Just an LF/MF/HF AM and FM entertainment
radio, but well voiced and very useful on trips.
