I doubt you can support that statement. I've had my CCRadio since they
first came out and it has beat every other radio I have compared it to,
and it has never given me any problems. Outstanding sensitivity and
very good selectivity. If you are going to use the built-in antenna,
nothing beats the CCRadio.

I have compared it to my two GE Superadios, two Panasonic RF-2200s,
Grundig YB-400, Grundig Satellit 800, etc. Adding an external loop
antenna to the Satellit 800 resulted in better reception at the low end
of the medium wave band, and of course with the 3 bandwidths and
selectable sideband sync detector, the Satellit 800 was better at
rejecting adjacent station interference. But with built-in antenna,
the CCRadio was superior.
