Does any one have this radio yet? My brother has a regular CC Radio and I

CC Radio shortwave.

If any of you have it or have heard anything about it - how is it? How is
the audio
when listening to talk stations on AM? Is the sound comparable to the
regular
CC Radio? How is the AM reception? How if FM and shortwave reception?

Thanks!

Is there anything to pick up on SW now besides religious fanatics?

Basically the CC Radio-SW is the same Radio
as the Redsun RP2100 Radio.

I have the Redsun RP2100 which is the same as the CC Crane SW.
It's MW AM band and FM reception is the best I have ever experienced.
See:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/6055

It is also the same as the Kaito KA2100 which is an absolute bargain
for $90 at:
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/2100.html

The CC Crane SW for $150 is the same as the Kaito KA2100 for $90?- Hide quoted text -

I believe both radios have two coils on one rod. I believe Crane has

I believe both radios have two coils on one rod. I believe Crane has
made it a central part of their advertising.



So the CC Crane SW radio is the same as the Kaito?

Here's the situation - my brothers CC Radio is old and on it's last legs
although it does pick up stations and the sound is all fine. I was
thinking - either
get him a new CC Radio or maybe get him the CC Crane SW/Kaito radio.

I believe it is two coils on the same rod, not two antenna rods.



So is the CC Radio Shortwave different from the Kaito?

No, they are the same radio's, just different badges.
As RHF pointed out, there is a lot of discussion on this in the Redsun
Yahoo discussion group.

browse around that site and you will find a lot more on the various
badges the original Redsun RP2100 are using.
It's an outstanding radio for AM MW and FM reception

No, the Heartland America one is not the same - it lacks some
features.
Go with the Kaito KA2100 from Universal @ $90 = a great buy
