What really intrigues me about this unit is that it has a built-in C Crane twin coill am ferrite antenna. I guess the question I would have is whether this is really nothing more than a rebadged Redsun 2100. This antenna gets great reviews and since it's built into the unit, I am thinking the radio will get unsurpassed am reception. Unsurpassed AM reception would be a very high hurdle to overcome. If you are truly expecting it to be better than any other radio on AM then I think you will be disappointed. Is the internal antenna of the CC-SW really the same as the external unit sold for $99.00 by Crane? Or is it just a bit of marketing sizzle applied to a ferrite rod antenna. Hi, thanks for the reply. On the front of the C C SW radio it says, "twin coil ferrite antenna." I would think it's safe to assume that it's the same one sold for $99 at Ccrane site. Finally, I don't think the radio receives SSB. Seems like a big omission on a $150.00 shortwave radio. Does anyone have any opinions of this radio?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - DoN, Twin Coils on a Ferrite Rod does not make it a "Tune-Able" and Amplified AM/MW Antenna like the C.Crane {Justice} AM/MW Twin Coil Antenna. http://www.ccrane.com/antennas/am-an...m-antenna.aspx |
