Hello - All are "Welcome" to [ JOIN ] the CCRadio and

NOTE - The CCRadio and CCRadio Plus are Made by Sangean
and they are Sold and Marketed by the C. Crane Co.
..
ABOUT USING THE CCRADIO PLUS IN AN AUTOMOBILE :
..
Two Choices - Replace the Car Radio -or- the Car ;-}
..
Something-to-Think-About . . . The 'common' Auto-Trunk Radio is
a pretty good $200-$300 AM & FM Radio with a $10-$20 Antenna
and a $15,000-$60,000 'mobile' Ground Plan System )
..
Really - If your current Car Radio's AM/MW Reception 'stinks'
I would recommend that you "Invest" in a better Car Radio/Receiver

Radio {Tuner} for your 12-Volt Automotive System.
- by David Navone (Car Sound eZine)
http://www.carsound.com/columns/navone/nav0004.shtml
..
FWIW - Most Standard Factory (OEM) Car/Truck Radios will
Out-Perform the CCRadio and CC Radio Plus in-or-out of the
Vehicle. . The CCRadio and CC Radio Plus are NOT a good
'substitute' for a Good Quality AM/FM Radio that is 'designed'
to Perform Very Well in an Automotive Driving Environment [.]
..
GOOD {STANDARD} FACTORY "OEM" AUTO RADIOS HAVE :
+ Better AM/MW Band Reception
+ Better FM and FM Stereo Reception
+ Better Overall Sound Quality
+ Higher Audio Output = More Sound
+ Dynamic Stereo Effect (Surround-a-Sound)
Then the CCRadio and CC Radio Plus
..
TIP - Many AM DX'er claim that a 'high quality' Car Radio
will provide "Excellent" AM/MW Reception; equal to many
high-end AM/FM Shortwave Radios. You would need a AM/MW
Loop Antenna connected to the AM/FM Shortwave Radio to
get better results than the Car Radio.
..
IIRC - Some where I remember reading that Pioneer 'SuperTuner'
Car Radios were rated very good for AM DXing with an automobile
radio. Although Sony, Kenwood, JVC, Jensen, Alpine, Panasonic
all make some very good AM/FM 'replacement' Car Radios.

CHECK-OUT - The Pioneer SuperTuner IIID Radios that features new
Digital AM/FM Tuner circuitry for audibly better FM and AM sound.
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn..._46832,00.html
..
The main Benefits of Pioneer SuperTuner IIID Radios
advanced Analog and Digital Signal Processing a
+ A Stronger Signal
+ Increased Dynamic Range
+ Reduced Multi-path Noise
+ Less Distortion
+ Better Stereo Imaging

READ - DXing with Car Radios

..
What Equipment Do I Need To DX ?
http://www.amfmdx.net/fmdx/dxing.html
One can DX the AM/MW or FM Bands with Car Radios
with some degree of success.
..
If you are a AM/MW Radio DX Listener who would like
better Radio Reception.
http://www.northcountryradio.com/Kitpages/actant.htm
"Have you ever wondered how an AM car Radio Receives
AM signals so well even in a hotbed of Electrical Noise such
as a modern automobile? The Secret is Isolation from the
Noise Source (Ignition and Electrical System), mounting the
Antenna on the outside of the car body, and good Impedance
Matching of the Antenna to the Receiver."
..
IMHO - The only thing that would warrant the use of the
CCRadio and CC Radio Plus in a Car/Truck would be for the
Reception of the TV-VHF Sound and Weather-WX Band.

Has anyone had any experience using CCRadio in their car?
The Crane website advertises a car interface kit where
you can hook up to the car's antenna, and I have an aux
audio input to my car stereo so I could listen over the
car's speakers. My current car stereo's AM reception stinks,
and I like to listen to Boston stations while I drive
(I live in New Hampshire). I'm not sure if there would be
alot of noise interference from the engine and alternator
because of how sensitive the CCRadio is.
..
Thanks for any help.

Lookie here, Sweet Cheeks:

I've been a radio junkie for 50 years, listened to ''Suspense'' on a 6
tube superhet with the 7 series loctals under the blankets. Had a
Truetone in my bedroom throughout the '60s, went through the
Hallicrafters thing, then the DX-150 series solid states, Uniden
(2024?) Sony ICF-2010, Lowe HF-150, Drake SW2, R8B, Stewart-Warner
R-390A, Racal RA-17, etc. I am fully cognizant of the radio universe
and I think satellite radio is fun.
