The CCRadio, SR III, and S350 are all over-hyped cheap plastic boxes -
that was my point.

This kind of "survey" is pretty useless, as the people complaining obviously
have defective units.

Any decent AM/FM radio is comparable to those cheap plastic boxes -
that is my point.

Sounds to me like you have no point at all, since you keep changing it.

And, in the same price range and capabilities, you would recommend what
radios as replacements?

Here, I still see some SR III's available for 49.99, whereas the ccradio
is over 100 bucks (I believe it was $129.00 off cc site--last time I
looked), if you don't value the ability to tape that much, the SR III is
a MUCH better buy.

I had an HP printer that had the same problem. Wasn't the driver. It
was the paper feed mechanism inside the box. I just tossed it in the
trash (back when tossing e-waste in the trash was legal, now it is
not; thank you, nanny state!). I should have thought of the above,
instead. I bought an Epson. It lasted for four years, then I bought
another Epson. Epson printers are hard to find and they only make ONE
model that is just a printer, but they're worth driving all over town
for. Epson was the king of the dot matrix printer in the 80s, and they
still make a damn good printer, unlike HP.

It's never too late and I have an idea. Why don't you buy a dozen
S350 radios then beat them to pieces with a hammer. Yes, just sit
cross-legged in your driveway and hammer away. It should give you and
your neighbors hours of pure pleasure and then you can report back
with the results and possibly some pictures.

Actually, for the price of the ccrane radio, should have, at least, a
cd-rw in it and ability to record in multi-bitrate mp3/ogg vorbis format
.... screw the tape!
