Default The C. Crane Co. CCRadio Plus


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?

Dave Pitzer



Hello Dave .... I would not reccommend the CC radio for a number of
reasons. First I find that it is susceptable to noise ...don't ask me why
....I am not an engineer ..... The damm beeping of this thing on band change
is unnecessary and irritating. It does not have the ability , with the
internal antenna, to pull stations apart and out of the mud ... IMHO. The
display could use a little more contrast for my back none of life eyesight.
I live about 30 miles from Pittsburgh and have difficulty with AM stations
from there at night ....which was the main reason I got the radio. The
small Toshiba F 11 I bought years ago is a better AM receiver. I don't
have any experience with the GE super radio but I know fellows that like
them. Reception probably would be better with a turnable loop but I have
other projects to work on before that happens. The expense - performance
curve is way off ....again IMHO.

Hopefully you will be more satisfied than I am if you go this route.

Take care ..... Tom Popovic Belle Vernon PA
