Opinions about the new CC Radio-SW?
On Aug 21, 1:27 pm, dead of night wrote:
One other note: On the front of the CCradio SW it is written: "Twin Coil Ferrite AN antenna" Do you really think C Crane, with its fine reptation, would perpetrate a fraud like this? I can't tell you if a fraud ocurred or not. I know Crane has been around for a long time and has quite a following and that the external version of the Crane Twin Antenna got good comments on Radiointel. I can tell you that reveiwers on the Yahoo Redsun group have concluded that the Redsun 2100 and CC-SW are for all practical purposes the same radio. Additionally there is on that forum an extensive discussion about just what a twin coil antenna really is and is not. The consensus on that forum seems to be that the presence of two coils on a ferrite antenna can be done for more than one reason and is fairly common. You would likely find the discussions very interesting. When the Crane website talks about how the CC-SW has a Twin Coil Ferrite antenna and links directly to the Crane Twin Coil antennna with all of it's controls I expect that those controls will also appear on the radio to tune that antenna. When they are not on the radio I start to worry. I'm going to hold on to my money and wait for the vaporware Redsun 3000 or 3100 radios to emerge from the ether and make a choice. |

Opinions about the new CC Radio-SW?
I have tried to locate the Redsun rp2100 group to read about the
radio. My results state that "this group no longer exists."
