Customer Testimonials

Dear C. Crane

Thank you for great products. I have purchased several pocket radios, the CC Radio Plus, and the Delphi Skyfi FM Transmitter over the past few years. All these products, as well as your service have been great. I love listening to the radio, especially sports. This past summer I listened to hundreds of baseball games in the yard on XM radio using the CC Radio Plus and the FM transmitter.

Thanks again

Hi, my name is Jim. I have purchased, what I consider a significant amount of products from your company. Some are great, some are the best, and some have some problems from time to time.

I have to say, I have never done business with a company who has a better customer service dept. than ccrane. You don't know how important this is to me personally, but also the pride and trust you have in your customers. Yep! we aren't dumb sh..s. As long as you have products that appeal to me. I will continue to buy them. And the largest reason is your customer service.

Best Regards,

Jim T.

HELLO TO ALL :

I am not one to write praise to any company but I am moved to do so now, regarding the C. Crane Company. My personal opinion is, this company has the best internet ordering response of any company I have dealt with on the internet. Kudos to ALL employees of C. Crane Co.

I was going to write an email to express my appreciation as to their very fast order processing and shipment until my latest shipment contained one of four faulty products (LED flashlights) I called for a return authorization (RA) and spoke to Annette on the phone. She was very polite, understanding and solved my problem instantly on the phone. A replacement item would be shipped the next day. How can you beat that kind of service?

I am a previous customer of C. Crane Co. having purchased an original "CC RADIO" six years ago, and it has performed flawlessly ever since. I also purchased a turntable and a pillow speaker as I listen to the San Francisco stations and Seattle stations when I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning.

Again, I have to say what an outstanding company to do business with. Further purchases will be forthcoming. Give all your employees a pat on the back, they deserve it, for outstanding service.

Best Regards,

I recently bought an item from C.Crane and had to return it. I got a full refund and a great letter from them thanking me for trying their product and apologizing for any inconvenience that I experienced. Plus they sent a $1.00 bill to make me smile. Wow!! What a great company to do business with. This experience was like no other I have ever had on the internet.

Thanks, Dale

I want to thank you for the lightning fast delivery!! I just ordered the 3 solar powered battery chargers online on Sunday. They arrived yesterday- Wednesday!! Three days from keyboard to porch step!! And free shipping!! Awesome. I look forward to ordering from your company again.

My son Chris gave me the AE Radio for Christmas. I am a radio addict. It has ten presets so, at the press of a button, I can listen to WABC in New York, Jazz from Switzerland, WRKO in Boston, WSB in Atlanta, 6PR in Australia or five other of my new "most favorite" radio stations. I use it with my wireless transmitter so I can listen all over the house. The size is perfect and the sound is very good for such a compact unit. I plan on buying the AE speaker syster soon. Don't get me wrong...I still love my CCRadio and my CCRadio-SWP.

I was reluctant to spend $300 on a radio, and debated with myself for months, but finally decided to purchase this radio. I'm so glad I did.

Thank you for offering this great radio for talk radio junkies like me.

Mary B.
Elizabethton, TN

Listen: I hesitated before spending $300. on a radio too but having dealt with the C. Crane company before, I knew that if the Acoustic Energy radio was not what I expected I was safe, so I ordered one. Friends: If you are a talk radio (or any other radio) aficionado, as I am, you've just hit the Mother Load.

This radio changes everything. No longer are you at the mercy of your local station's program director who might, at any time, get the bright idea that Friday night "infomercials" can bring in more revenue than the advertising dollars brought in by regular programming can. No more will you worry that your favorite talk station might be broadcasting Mariachi Music 24/7 at some point in the future. Wish you could get the Rollye James show in the New York City market but can't quite pull in the Albany station that carries her show clearly enough to make it worth listening to? Simply catch Rollye out of Columbia, South Carolina as I do, clear as a bell. Going to be away from home for awhile and wish you could bring your local stations with you? Well, if your hotel has open WiFi, you can. This radio weighs next to nothing. Wondering what talk radio is like in Cape Town, South Africa? So? Turn it on and check it out!

Afraid you'll have difficulty setting the radio up? Hey! I went through college before the hand held calculator was invented and set up for this radio took less than ten minutes. It only took that long because I thought it best to update the software (push the "Update now" button) before getting started. Not as smart as I am? Call C. Crane. Whoever answers the phone will help you :-)

I'm not going to buy four more of these radios yet as the technology is new and years from now, who knows? Maybe they'll cost less in the distant future, but one day I will have one of these in every room keeping a good "old time" radio in the closet in case the network goes down.

I sure wish I could set up a rolling network in my car! One day.............

First of all, thanks for your participation in the 20th SWL Winterfest @ Kulpsville, PA. I was the lucky winner of the AE Wi-Fi Internet Radio, and I think I won the best prize.

Having been a shortwave listener since the 1960s, I've been disappointed in the trend of international broadcasters leaving shortwave, especially English broadcasts. This dedicated computer brings them all back, in much greater fidelity with nearly total reliability, something shortwave never had. It's also far more convenient and easy to use than a conventional computer. Even my wife, who never liked shortwave, enjoys listening to Aloha Joe from Hawaii.

Bruce S - Cary, NC

This radio is fantastic! I think it is so neat that I can listen to any Internet stream on a radio in a room that is not even close to my computer. And no monthly fees! Also, I am somewhat, uhm, technically-challenged, and C.Crane's Customer Service Department was so helpful. The ordering and delivery process was very efficient. I have ordered quite a few items from C.Crane and the quality and service has been excellent.

Got your AE Wi-Fi Radio last Thursday; played as soon as I plugged it in. I'm in Georgia and listen to KNX in Los Angeles through the Internet. The AE Wi-Fi lets me hear it anytime, and for its size the sound is incredibly rich. Makes me feel like I'm in L.A.!

Terrific product!

— Christopher C., Cumming, GA

Just a note of thanks: I recently purchased a Acoustic Energy Wi-Fi Internet Radio, and I couldn't be happier.

This is the one plug and play device that lives up to it's name: I had it out of the box and was listening to it within five minutes. And the listening experience? I haven't been this excited about a radio since I purchased my first shortwave receiver while in elementary school. A breakthrough in technology and ergonomics!

Well Done!

— Greg S. Sacramento, CA

As an avid listener of world band radio, I had missed it upon my move to a downtown section of a large metropolitan area six years ago. The internet offered me the next best access to the radio waves with consistent sound quality.

I just received the new AE Wi-Fi Internet Radio. It’s a gem. The set up was painless and quite intuitive. In five minutes the unit had found my wireless access, registered itself, downloaded updates and was programmed for 10 presets. I had originally used the Philips Streamium which was one of the first of such products widely available. Upon its release it was quite an advance. However many of its services required fees to enjoy the full menu of stations and sound quality. Set up was tedious and required much data entry.

The AE is compact, has great sound and plays multiple media types. In the past, the only way I could stream certain stations was to use my conventional computer.

The AE is much simpler and receives all of the stations I prefer to listen to.

C. Crane’s ordering and delivery was smooth and efficient. You attention to detail actually uncovered a phone number update required for my credit card company. Thank you for the careful attention to verification of my account.

— Mark C. Atlanta, GA

WOW! Why did I wait so long??? I just got my CCRadio Plus and I've been thrilled with the quality and the kind of stations it has pulled in. I live near Micky Mouse in FL and I picked up New Orleans and Cincinnati last night! I usually listen to a small radio at night as I drift off to sleep. I had to replace that radio about a year ago and thought about buying a CC radio, but the price stopped me from acting. I haven't been happy with the reception I been getting with my small and FINALLY decided to buy a CCRadio Plus.

I'm VERY IMPRESSED! It is designed with nighttime users in mind. All the dials and controls are intelligently laid out and the different size and shapes makes it easy to turn the right dial in the dark. I can't believe all the features it has- like setting time when it will go on and off, so you don't miss a favorite show!

I also got the CCRadio Plus Enthusiast Kit and I highly recommend it. each of the items in the kit (Carry Case, and the book - Radio on the Road) are quantity items.

CCranes: You have a loyal customer. THANKS!

-Thomas Dowling

Please add my name to the list of happy customers who own the C. C. Radio Plus. When it came today, I immediately unpacked it, set it up as per instructions and voila! It is everything you advertise, I can hardly wait until tonight when I can try the night performance, but it already surpasses the typical test. There is one station, KIRO AM Seattle, that suffers from interference in all the radios I own, it comes in perfectly clear on the CCR Plus. I like the way it stays put as well, good weight, rubber feet, it's not about to fly away or slip off the table, especially with those 4 D Cells in it:-).

Thanks,

I just received my CC Radio back from repair I was amazed that you covered my 2 plus years old radio under warranty and not only repaired the display (what I sent it in for) but also replaced the RF-module which I didn’t realize was bad. The radio works like new and now that I have it back I realize how much I missed that radio. Your products and service are the best I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good work. I remain a loyal customer. Browsing through your new catalog I see quite a few innovative and exciting new products. I’m sure a few of then will reside in my home soon.

Best regards

I bought the CCRadio Plus and it is wonderful. It is easy to set up. I can't stop talking about it. I have told my family about it.

Thanks,
James

I have had my cc plus radio about four years now, love it to death! listen to kgo san francisco all the time and with my other radio I couldn’t even get that station. have used it camping with the batteries and it does just as good,went on a ten day backpacking trip in the oregon cascades and took the radio with us as it has a excellent weather station,yes it was heavy to pack but well worth the extra weight, we had kgo up on the middle sister in the cascades. I also have the led treck flashlight, what a light!, it goes on every backpacking trip right on the side of my pack, don’t know what I did tell I got them both. if you want to spend your money on a good light or radio do it on the cc. plus you wont regret it. my backpackin friend just ordered hers for this summer hikes. thanks for the great product, it does everything you said it would.

Robert W., Juneau, Or.

So it should go as no surprise that I bought the personal FM Transmitter to broadcast from the PC throughout the house. I have had a Belkin which does a fine job but currently runs on batteries only - rechargable of course. Some friends with a much smaller home liked my setup and wanted me to help do that in their home. So I've given them the batteries and the Belkin and gotten the CCrane unit!

There were very few dead spots with the old Belkin, and I could hear the broadcasts -- but just barely -- from the neighbor's pool deck. I should NOT have been surprised that the CCrane unit gives me reception to every square foot of my entire over 1/4 acre property -- despite advertising only 30' to 70' 'line of sight'. And with the CCRadioPlus, I don't even need to extend the antenna until I am outside and many feet away from the source! The signal is clear as a bell (no pun intended, Art -- but it DOES fit) to the other side of both neighbors.

I'm glad I got these from you, and have just ordered the CCRadioSWP … can't wait to get it and then I'll be complete (for a few months anyway). I look forward into delving into Shortwave listening and will likely get the CCRadioSW at some point. It is just a great product and despite typical warranty terms I'd bet these devices will be working well into this 21st century!

Thanks for providing your great products at very fair prices.

I have purchase a lot of Radios in the last 60 years had nothing like C C Radio Plus. I really like the memory locations I can reach up and change them at night real easy. I all so like the weather band,, Heck I love the Whole radio with every on it and the pillow speaker to ..

G L S From OHIO.

With the CC Radio Plus, I have not only heard stations such as KFI in LA to stations in the Caribbean. This radio is the best for long distance reception.

In the day, here in Pittsburgh, I can hear stations in Detroit, Buffalo, and Cincinnati, all from 2 to 3 hundred miles away. This radio is so good that I am going to purchase 1 or 2 more. Thank you for a great product and the delivery and service was above all excellent. I will always be a loyal customer of the C Crane Co.

Dave C., Pittsburgh, PA.

The GE Superadio III is a good radio that has been around for a long time, but is showing its age. The analog dial isn't as precise as more modern digital tuners, and while the woofer/ tweeter speakers are wide range, the radio tends to overload, even in a suburban environment. The CCRadio plus, on the other hand, is a modern, digitally-tuned receiver that performs well on the high end of the broadcast band - where the GE Super does not. If you want a boom box to blast out a station ten miles away, this is where the GE is at its best. On the other hand, if you want to pick out weak signals, the CC Radio Plus clearly comes out on top. One winter evening I was able to listen to WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio from the mountains of Colorado. Not a bad catch given that the station was 1100 miles away.

Read Rob Sherwood's complete evaluation of the CCRadio Plus vs. GE Superadio III.

I just made it to my office which has power. I own the CCRadio Plus and I have loved it since the day I bought it. The reception is great and I have picked up AM stations very strongly from well over 1000 miles away on certain nights. Just a few days ago, Missouri has been hit with the largest natural disaster the state has ever seen when over 200,000 people in the state lost power due to an ice storm. People were hurrying to buy C and D batteries and they were virtually impossible to find. I have the same pair of batteries that I have had in my radio for about 6 months now. While I keep my radio plugged in while at home, I have used it quite often on battery power at work. My radio is still on the original set of batteries after the ice storm hit and 3 1/2 days of very heavy battery use. I don't know how much longer they will last, but I have finally obtained another set of D batteries. I have been told it could be well over a week before I get my power back, and I am not the least bit worried about my CCRadio Plus running out of juice.

LOVE THIS RADIO!! I have wanted this radio for years and finally my wonderful new wife bought it as a Christmas present. For anyone who is into radio, or someone who is not but Loves someone who is this is the Ultimate Radio. I am getting stations that I never heard of New Orleans San Antonio Chicago are some so far. I live in Omaha so I was quite surprised. Even on the weak stations the sound quality is almost equal to our local fifty thousand watt boomer 1110 KFAB NO KIDDING. And you are serious when you say the speaker is tuned to the human voice. Thank you very much for this wonderful gift of radio.

— Phillip N., Bellevue, NE

For years I would listen to coast to coast am radio being broadcast on a station located in Charlotte NC The fade out was often and bothersome but it was the best I could do with my radio at the time. I live in Baltimore County Md and finally decided to take Art Bell's advise and purchase a CCRADIO. I am proud of my decision. The fade out is gone and I now have two CCRADIOS and am considering purchasing another one. If you like radio listening the CCRADIO will do you proud. Now coast to coast am is broadcast in Baltimore City but at times it is preempted by an event so I just tune in to the station in Charlotte NC.
In addition C Crane Co. has never let me down with all the products I have purchased from them. Bob Crane even personally called me in response to a letter I mailed to C Crane Co. We are fortunate to have such an honorable company to deal with.

Sincerely,

— Sid P. Buford

I got a "CCRadio plus" when the plus first came out some years ago for Christmas. I heard about it on the old Dreamland show with Art Bell on my (at the time) great alarm clock static radio. It was the best Christmas gift I ever ask for. It has been with me loyally every night with my pillow speaker since. If you would like to have a quality Radio no exceptions then get one you will never part with it.The sound is great. If you took me to a store full of radios I would pick the CCRadio plus any day.

— Michael Smith, NC

I bought a second CC Radio Plus because the first one I bought was so impressive. A buddy also bought one after I lent him one to try because he had been looking for something that would pull in stations he liked that were hard to listen to. These radios are the best I've ever owned and have a tremendous clear and full sound. I love the clock radio capability and the audio and recording jacks on the back as well as the headphone jack. I use them to record late night programs and even to play CDs through the radio speaker. This radio does it all. Please don't change a thing on it. Am about to buy a 3rd one to put in my shop. I guarantee anyone who buys one will not be disappointed in the slightest with it's performance or its versatility.

— M.V. San Diego, CA

We do not own a TV and depend on radio for news, weather and entertainment. Been a long-time listener of the Art Bell/George Noory program. When I heard about your CC Radio Plus I decided to order one and never regretted it. The only improvement I can think of is a digital recorder to record our favorite programs.

When the local station decided to drop Coast to Coast I complained, to no avail. I searched and found Coast to Coast on a North Carolina station. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe I could tune in to North Carolina!

A few months later, another local station picked up Coast to Coast. I listen at night with pillow earphones and find it easy to operate the radio in the dark. The pre-set feature and the weather station is vital to those living in the hurricane state of Florida.

— Geri - Vero Beach, FL

I have a local AM radio station that I had been unable to receive reliably and really wanted and needed to hear. I had only found one radio that would pick it up at all and it was intermittent and very weak and hard to hear. I heard about CCRadio plus in an advertisement on another local radio station and decided to give it a try. It is the only radio I have ever found that consistently gets that difficult station strongly.

Thanks for the great product.

— D. Henry, Virginia

Hello, I heard about your radio listening to Art Bell on Coast to Coast. Now that George Nori took over I still am an avid late night AM radio fan. Your radio lets me finally hear clearly what they are saying. I received it today for my Birthday and I love it !

Thanks again,

— Rose B. Athens, Illinois

Dear Sir,

The CCRadio Plus is the finest radio I have ever seen. Sturdy and well built, it has a powerful sound combined with carefully designed features. It is easy to tune and the five reset buttons are a real plus. The lighted display readily shows stations and time. Your fine tuning knob brings in stations strong and clear with no fading. I live in a Philadelphia suburb and listen to a radio station from Lousivlle, Kentucky with ease. It is simply the best product on the market for radio listeners. Thank you C Crane Co!

— R.Z. Hatboro, PA

I just wanted to let CCRANE know that the CCRADIO PLUS helped us get through the last 13 days. I am a member of the New Orleans Police Dept. for the past 28 yrs. I have been working in the city from day one. Before I reported for duty on Sunday, August 28th, 2005, I disconnected the CCRADIO PLUS from my VersaCorder and packed it in my bag. We lost the use of our police radios and cell phones of early Monday, August 29, 2005. We were able to stay up with current events by listening to the CCRADIO PLUS, a rumor was started that a second hurricane was in the gulf but I used the weather alert to verify that the rumor was not true. I also used the television channels and on several nights when I had to sleep in the police cruiser I used the alarm feature to wake me up. This radio should be standard issue for all police officers working natural disasters.

Respectfully,

— Sgt. Joe, N.O.P.D.

Hi,

I just wanted to thank you for one of the best Christmas presents I have every received, a new CC Radio Plus. I have lived in a very difficult reception area between Sydney and Canberra in Australia, and the CC Radio Plus enables me to receive 2UE Sydney crystal clear at night and 2CC Canberra during the day. I emailed technical support at C Crane to see if I could use a 6V DC adaptor to run off the 240V AC, the answer was yes, and I can confirm it works very well without the need for batteries. My previous radio looked like the CC Radio Plus, but was clearly a 'base' version from another supplier, it didn't have the external aerial or audio adaptors at the back, nor did it have the receiving power of the CC Plus. Thank you again for providing me with a superior radio that is not available in Australia.

Regards,

— Ian Smith, Australia

I can't say enough about this radio! Your book says that if you can even hear a station faintly, this radio would make a big difference. I'll be honest with you, the stations I wanted to listen to out of Toronto I couldn't even hear before. I'm a good four and a half to five hour's drive from Toronto (about 250 miles east, over HILLY terrain known as the Canadian Shield.) and this little gem is recieving the 4 main stations I wanted with no external antenna. Thank you. I don't often (well, never) contact companies to help them sell a product but this thing is absolutely amazing! Thanks again

— David, ON, Canada

"Dear Friends,

I just unpacked my new CCRadio plus and I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself…

I'll admit I had a few reservations about investing $159.00 for a portable radio…not anymore. The Plus is simply a fine piece of equipment…well worth the purchase price. I'm impressed with the look, feel and sound. The controls are well thought out and easy to operate and I really liked the fact that it didn't require a degree in electronics to set it up. I had mine programmed in about five minutes and it REALLY does provide a better listening experience. Both the AM stations in my area are a bit fuzzy at night but the sound from the Plus is clear and crisp. The FM sounds great too! I can't wait to dial up my favorite talk shows tomorrow morning!

Thanks for offering such a fine product."

— Barry, Fayetteville, NC

"Dear C. Crane,

I put the CCRadio plus at the top of my Christmas wish list and my family bought one for me. It absolutely lives up to your advertised claims. It is a joy to use. From Indianapolis, I've pulled in stations from Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, St. Louis, Washington D.C. and beyond: this from inside an aluminum sided house! Now I have a choice of stations to listen to at night (I like using my radio with a pillow speaker). It is simple and easy to use, and the "heft" and feel of the radio is very solid. The sound quality is great, not just for talk radio but also for music. I'm grateful the radio has stereo out on the headphone jack. I have tried several radios... and none have the sound quality, reception quality or durability that this radio has. One of the reasons I wanted this radio was to end the cycle of searching for just the right radio for portability and bedside listening.

Thanks so much for a great product, and a good value.

God Bless,"

I just have to write you to tell you what a great radio you have in the CC Radio. I have owned a CCRadio for 5 years now. I was recently packing for a trip to the river when I placed my radio on top of my truck. I finished putting gear into the truck, closed the door and took off. Well, about three blocks from home I heard something hit the bed of my truck. I looked in the rearview mirror and to my horror I saw my CCRadio hit the pavement, bounce a few times and slide down the street about a hundred feet. my first thought was, " I guess I"ll go ahead and order a CCPlus because that radio is finished." I got out, picked up the radio,batteries and battery cover.When I got to the river I put the batteries in thinking this thing will never play again. To my suprise it worked perfectly! The only damage is a couple of small scratches. Absolutly amazing! Not only the best AM radio, but the tuffest too!

Thanks for great radios,"

— Charles, Griffin, Ga

"C. Crane,

let me comment on CCRadio plus.

Bravo! Truly amazing. For its light weight, power, features, sensitivity, three minute time to apply power to the RAM, quality of sound, TV band, weather alert system, clock radio, memory channels & much much more; I am very pleased with your radio. I am going to keep it and not exercise your 30-day return policy. In fact, I am seriously thinking of buying one for my best friend as an X-mas gift. Will I be too late??? I love the TV band option. This way I can hear McNeal Lehrer on Channel 9 (nine) while I am downstairs working in my kitchen…a nice compliment to my collection of radios!
Thanks for a "great piece" of electronic equipment! In modern $$ (dollars) it is worth every penny.

Respectfully,"

— Ron, Fremont, CA

"I received your $159.95 CCRadio plus (AM/FM/TV etc.) It is, without a doubt, the BEST AM broadcast receiver I've ever owned --- and I've owned many. Here in Red Bluff, AM stations such as those in San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, fade out, and stay out for several minutes. I gave up listening to talk during late evenings.
Your radio has changed all of that. Not a single station of my choice faded away for well over two hours last night. I couldn't be happier. C. Crane has come up with a winner...The radio is the greatest!!"

— Russ, Red Bluff, CA

"I am 49 now, and I have been a serious radio listener and Dx'r since I was 7 or 8 years old. I have always tinkered with audio electronics, and have also been an engineer with a well known broadcast console manufacturer for over 23 years. I want to command you on the design and implement of what is the best radio that I have ever purchased…the CCRadio plus. I have heard them all, and owned many dozens of portable, table and "HiFi" radios and tuners. It is obvious that some serious collaboration and ingenious thought went into this design. I would not know where to start with all of the features that I like. I do know that during the first few weeks of enjoying it, when I asked myself…"but will it do this"…it did it, and more. I hesitated to buy this radio after hearing about it on Art Bell's program after I discovered the price. After reviewing the catalog and website, I had to try it all after many disappointing purchases from the standard retail outlets. I must try to comment about a few features anyway. I like the ergonomics and layout of all of the buttons and controls. Everything can easily be set, changed, or adjusted from a bedside, in the dark. The sound quality is very good for talk or music with a well matched amplifier and speaker. The display is easy to read and provides good feedback of all of the functions. Probably my favorite is the stepped tuning function and feel, along with up/down tuning buttons, and especially the fact that you can really listen in while tuning for Dx'ing purposes without hard muting and without overwhelming noise at the same time. It picks up stations very cleanly like no other radio that I own, and I am in a marginal listening area here near the east coast of North Carolina. I like the way the volume level is very well calibrated and has good range and accuracy at low listening levels. I like to see separate Bass and Treble controls, even though I have yet to need to use them on this radio. The multidirectional FM antenna and external AM antenna are welcomed features. I will stop here, but all of the other features are appreciated. I cannot find anything that I do not like about this radio. It is the radio that I have been waiting for.

Best Regards,"

— Mark, New Bern, NC

I am the proud new owner of the "CCRadio plus" and I couldn't be more satisfied. I purchased the radio for selfish reasons. Our family had planned a camping trip to a remote area. Our group consisted of 6 families comprised of 12 adults, two dogs, and a couple of million kids. I was very much looking forward to the experience with one exception. The Cubs and Cardinals had a three game series that weekend. I figured that if I had a capable radio and earbud, I could appear to be joining in on the campfire activities while in reality be very much immersed in the games. So I did my research and ended up with the CC Radio plus and the Voz earpiece. Took it out of the box right before heading to the campsite. Not only did it work beyond my expectations, it impressed me with it's quality. The one thing I appreciated the most was the "voice" tuned speaker. I had never realized that the typical "music" oriented speaker muddied the spoken voice so much until I heard the Crane alternative. Realize that Ron Santo (Cub announcer) can be hard to understand even with state of the art equipment. However, my little scheme didn't work out too well. A couple of guys noticed that I was plugged in and asked what I was listening to. When I told them it was the Cub/Card game, they insisted that I pull the plug~~~and go to the speaker. So we all sat around the campfire listening to the Cubs getting brutalized once again. As a final note, I didn't even pay any attention to the weather channel offerings of the radio. Didn't care. Until the next day when we noticed that the sky was a greenish black. I tuned in the closest weather station and was informed that a flock of tornados was headed our direction and that we probably wouldn't be all that safe in the southeast corner of our tents. So we broke camp and headed home. Everyone was in a funk on the way home because of the busted weekend. I, however, was in hog heaven with the Voz clipped to my left ear keeping me up to date on that days Cub thrashing.

Thanks for providing great products.

Hi C.Crane,

Thanks for your great CC Radio-SW!
I am, and have been a Radio Broadcast Engineer, for over 40 years, and an avid radio collector, and I also own my own radio station, a lot of radio waves on my plate!
Some of the FM stations in my care are a great distance from my home, and monitoring their signals has been a problem. Enter the CC Radio-SW. I know there are several very similar radios out there on the internet, but don't be fooled! I have owned all variations of this radio, and the CCRadio-SW version is in a class all by itself. The CC Radio-SW as I have been told has undergone many modifications that simply blow away all the others! This radio has unparalleled MW-SW AM performance thanks to the built in "Twin Coil Ferrite" antenna among other refinements. The FM selectivity and sensitivity can not be better, no matter what brand and price, a good example is a station I built and take care of, KGZO 90.9, Shafter, CA is well over 100 miles from my home in Lancaster, CA. I live within the 1MV contour of superpower KPFK 90.7 and on any other FM radio, I can not hear anything on 90.9 except KPFK, until my purchase of the CCRadio-SW. This receiver separates the two signals with ease, and using only the built in rod antenna! On AM it is remarkable as well. Another station I take care of, KWDJ 1360 AM, Ridgecrest CA,1000 watts is 100 miles from my home, and in my city there is a station on 1380 AM with 1000 watts, less than 1 mile from my house, and I have no trouble hearing, with excellent clarity KWDJ 1360 using only the built in antenna! Also, listening to Shortwave has never been more enjoyable and easy.

Keep up the good work!

What a cool radio. I don’t even know where to begin there are so many great features in this radio. When I first received it and opened the package, I was completely taken by the quality of the radio. The radio has a very solid feel. It is obvious that workmanship and care were put into the design. The radio is easy to use and has superior voice quality to other radios I have tried. I have been talking so much about it, I think my friends are kind of sick of hearing about how wonderful it is. I can’t help. It is the perfect radio for its price range. I have been waiting a long time for such a radio to come out with SW and all the features available with the CCRadio-SW. In my opinion, this is a no-brainer. Best radio on the market for its price. Hands down.

C Crane Company,

I just received my new CCRadio-SW late yesterday and ended up spending several enjoyable hours cruising the bands late into the night! I easily pulled in numerous distant AM stations from across the eastern 2/3 of the US as well as several weaker AM stations from central and western Canada. I believe the built-in Twin Coil Ferrite antenna is superb for AM band DX'ing. Sound quality from the 5W speaker is full-bodied, crisp and clear. I also fiddled with the SW bands a bit and pulled in US, Europe and Eastern Asia like they were right next door. FM stations came in crystal clear and with excellent sound quality. And to top it off, the radio has a sleek, handsome look to it! This radio is simply amazing in both form and function! Kudos to C Crane!

Just got the CC plus SW radio yesterday and listened to it last night. It is the best radio that I have ever owned! I listen to KGO at night and the signal is so strong and clear I could not fall asleep.

Thanks so much for the best radio of my lifetime!

Thanks again!

I have had my CCRadioSW for two days. My favorite FM station is a college station that plays straight ahead jazz but has a very weak signal. The FM reception for that station on the Crane is equal to a Bose cabinet radio I own that has an external antenna. The sound quality of the speaker is noteworthy and superior. I have not had an opportunity to try to get distant AM stations but local and regional AMs come in very well. I have owned Grundig and Sony multiband receivers and this radio appears superior in sound quality and ease of operation.

Good Afternoon,

I would like to comment on my purchase of your CCRadioSW. I received it today, and although I was somewhat anxious about ordering an "Orphan" I was pleasantly surprised. Your radio is excellent. The build quality is first rate and its performance far exceeds my most critical expecations. It does indeed receive AM and FM with remarkable sensitivity and selectivity. The audio quality is also excellent. Years ago I purchased a Zenith Transoceanic AM/FM model 7000. This was the flagship of portable radios and remains a benchmark to this day. It has performed flawlessly over the years. Your CCRadioSW is in this same league. It has the same heft and feel as the Zenith and outperfoms it as well. (now thats saying a lot). Thanks for offering this fine product at a very reasonable price.

Sincerely,

Donald M.

Just want to say that I got my CCRadio-SWP today and I have never heard or held in my hand the quality of such a small radio. It's Beautiful, very smart for the user to use and sounds great. Thanks for a great product.

This is a great little radio. Very portable and sturdy. The memory capacity and digital dial-in features are excellent. Reception is excellent, even (unexpectedly) working in my office! Only drawback is the volume control, which is not capable of being fine-tuned. It also makes a great alarm-clock!

I recently purchased a CCRadio-SWP online, and I am quite pleased with it. The radio exceeds my expectations for it. I have moved to Reno from San Diego County, and I missed listening to KNX, the all-news AM station in Los Angeles. Now I can listen at night with almost next-door reception, and I am often able to hear the station during the daylight hours. I have sent to you for a shortwave antenna so my wife, who is a Thailand native, can listen to programs in her language. I trust it will work as well as the radio. I am very happy with C. Crane so far, and will continue to buy from you. Also, while listening to KNX, I have heard your ads. I think it was a smart move for you to advertise in that market. You might want to include the SWP radio. It gets terrific mileage out of two AA batteries.

Thank you for a fine radio.

Peter

I recently received a CCRadio-SWP and I love this little radio! It has better sound than much larger radios and is the only radio I have, besides the CCRadio Plus, that I can actually hear talk clearly. I would suggest, however, that the volume control needs to have a finer adjustment, as it is usually either too loud or too soft. Otherwise, it is the perfect "go anywhere" radio.

Dave K.
Arvada,CO

Update: We're working on a design change to offer better control over the volume level. The updated model is not yet available, but we will post another update as soon as the new model becomes available. In the meantime, we have an In-Line Volume Control Headphone Cable that provides precise control over the CCRadio-SWP's volume while listening through the headphone jack.

If you are looking for a good, very small radio, the CCRadio-SWP does the job. Good speaker for such a small radio. I travel and this radio isn’t much bigger then a deck of cards. For the money a great radio you can take anywhere.

I ordered the CC Trekker in 2000. It was ordered as much for its name as its reported performance. I had a bacback called "Trekker", a tent called "Trekker", and now I had a Trekker flashlight. My website had the word Trekker in it, and also I created a Trekker email address; which is still active these many years later. I even called myself Trekker. In January of 2001, I started my adventure and trekked across the USA. It was an amazing adventure. My CC Trekker had it at least as rough as I did. It got stepped on, dropped into boiling water, dropped, thrown, and in general, abused. Oh yeah, it was used as a reading lamp and the light I used at night so I could write in my daily log. I finally had to change the batteries in 2004. I have since ordered the 4bulb replacement and the new model for my truck. Thanks for a damn fine product.

Thomas, Parkersburg, WV

Hey you guys..,

My dear friends live in Ferndale and gave me one of your first LED Flashlights for my birthday in either 2000 or 2001. It's been my favorite and my "go to" light all these years, and today... I finally had to change the original batteries! OMG! Talk about conserving energy. Amazing....

Thanks, Sincerely...

Larry

I purchased this new C. Crane flashlight several months ago and although I have several other higher end flashlights ( Surefire, and your own 6 & 7 LED flashlights ), this new 4 LED model has them all WHIPPED.

I just recently went through almost 4 days without power due to the powerfull storm that hit the Mendocino coast and I have to honestly tell you that your new 4 LED flashlight IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST emergency flashlight that a person can have. Although I have other flashlights and a LED camping lantern ( that I purchased from C. Crane ) it was the Treklite 4 LED that is used almost exclusively during this power outage. It also make a good area light when pointed upwards towards a light colored ceiling as well as other general use. Even though I used it for many, many hours the batteries still do NOT need changing.

In short, I recommend without reservation this flashlight for anyone who might need plenty of light for extended periods without having to worry about running short on batteries. The flashight is also very easy to carry with you and will not roll off a surface when you are trying to prop it on something for cooking, shaving or other similiar uses.

— Ken, Manchester, Ca.

I ordered at the last minute a LED Trek flashlight from you last year, just days before I was to be deployed to Iraq with the US Air Force. The delivery made it to my house a day or two before I took the long flight over the pond. I have to tell you it worked the entire four months I was there without a single battery change. And this was field conditions, living in a tent, under lots of mortar and missile attacks on our compound. This black beauty hung from my protective armor vest 24X7, and took a darn good beating without a single problem. I drug that thing around crawling through mud, gravel, rocks, you name it, and it took everything I threw at it without a single malfunction. It's the best money I have spent on a flashlight anywhere, including the many conventional MAG lights I have been issued by the government. Thanks for expediting my shipment and for a fantastic product like the CC TREK flashlight!

Thank you--

Michael R. Flack, Master Sergeant, USAFR
Kelly Field, San Antonio Texas

PS--I now carry that same light in my truck everywhere I go. I might even change the batteries someday!

"Art Bell has said the new LED Flashlites you offer, will shine under water. I have only had mine a week or two, but within the first few days after receiving the light machine, I put mine through, in my opinion, just as hard of a test. A few days after receiving the light machine, I used it to check under my hood, the fluid levels of my car. It was dusk and the light was a wonderful aid. When finished, I closed the hood and went back inside. The next few days I wondered where I had put my new light machine and passed it off to my usual lack of organization. Almost 4 days later, a coworker came in where I work and said he had parked his car next to mine under the covered parking where we work. He asked what would be on under my hood like a hood light? I said I didn't think mine worked anymore and he suggested I check on it because he could definitely see a light showing out from the hood seam. As soon as I could get away to the parking lot, I did check it out and sure enough you could easily see a light showing from the hood seam on the driver's side. Not only that, but I saw that black, end-plastic, button thingee, at the end of the carrying cord barely visible on the outside of the hood, something I had not noticed before. I opened the hood and there was the light machine from C. Crane, still on, shining brightly after almost four days of riding in an indentation under the hood edge, held in place and not allowed to fall to the ground and be lost forever by the hood slamming down on the end of the cord carrier. Keep in mind the LED light machine had been subject to almost 4 days of extreme heat, laying there next to that engine and with me driving in 90+ degree, Oklahoma heat. It still shines brightly. Thanks for selling such useful items. Yeah, I know, you make money off them, but you could be selling merchandise that wasn't nearly as much service to the public and still making money. Keep up the good work. Truly a very pleased C. Crane Customer,"

"Dear Mr Crane, Just a short note to let you know all is well with the world. I ordered one of your 2 LED Trek Lights with the accessory kit in May. This was for a business trip to Kuwait scheduled for June. I ordered the thing a little late, but had enough time for it to arrive here in Upstate NY before my departure. The Friday prior to my departure the package arrived, only to see it was only the accessory kit minus light. A quick call to your company and a short chat with one of the fine ladies there. She researched the problem and said she would overnight the light so I would have it prior to my flight on Tuesday. The light arrived here about four hours before I locked the door and headed for the airport. One reason I chose your light was the long battery life. I am retired military and do contract work overseas in support of the Department of Defense and State Department. Many times as with this contract I am not close to normal support systems. I used your light every night for just over 30 days, not sure how many hours it was, but I do know I was the only one on my team who did not have to change batteries. The light held up very well to the abuse I doled out. I left the light hanging on the side of my HUMMV one morning ( kept it near my cot at night, did not have the luxury of a tent ) as I drove off to a linkup. I did not even consider where the light was until that night when I was getting ready for the nights actions. Then I remembered where it had been. I was upset to have been so dumb as to lose such a fine piece of equipment. I said something about the light to one of the soldiers I was working with. He asked what it looked like. He said he had found a flashlight in the road that day, it had been run over a couple of times by trucks (dirt trails in the desert ), but still worked. When he brought out the light, it was indeed mine. I just wanted you to know I am pleased to have purchased the light , and will look to you and your company for future needs. I will also be recommending you and your products to my friends. Thanks,"

I find that these bulbs make excellent replacements for the globe incandescents found in some above-the-mirror bathroom fixtures.

Some images are attached. The first (globe1) shows the original 60w globes. The second (globe2) has three LED's and two globes for comparison. The third (globe3) shows all five LED's in place. (The bathroom is also lit by a 100 watt equivalent CFL bulb in a central overhead fixture.)

Going from 300 watts to 10 isn't too bad! I don't know if I'd recommend it for households with girls who spend hours in front of the mirror, but it works for me!

A few years ago I upgraded to the FM Reflect Antenna for a few of my radios and the increase in performance was remarkable. Both my Tivoli Audio Henry Kloss Model One Radio, and my Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio pull in stations from Boston (about 60 miles away) with ease and clarity. Recently I purchased the Sangean HDT-1 HD Radio Component Tuner and it too, when combined with the FM Reflect Antenna does a great job pulling analog as well as digital programming.

Best regards,

William M - Kittery, ME

I purchased the FM REFLECT ANTENNA and was amazed how well it worked! I can pick up FM radio stations that I didn’t know were there. Great Product! Thank you CCrane.

— Larry V. Fresno, CA

I have used several different FM transmitters over the years and have used several Sirius or XM receivers with built in FM transmitters. The C Crane FM transmitter is by far the best I have ever used to transmit an FM signal. It is rock solid frequency wise, has great dynamic range when set up properly, gets out well, and sounds great in stereo. I wish FM stations would take a lesson from this little unit. I'm worn out with overcompressed, overmodulated, distorted FM broadcast by so many stations today. This little transmitter does none of that, and sends out a dynamic pure stereo signal. It isn't overly powerful, but certainly does the job well when properly set up.

Nat

1. Powerful signal - We have a very large house and have no problem picking up the signal in any part of the house and even well into the yard!
2. Quality signal - The best for the money period. Full spectrum sound using the little LED light to set volume levels. Many transmitters do not have that feature.
3. Stays on frequency - Rock steady enough for any digital receiver. Another great feature that they do not even tell you about in the descriptiion: Once set, the frequency stays set even if you remove it from power for months at a time. It remembers your last setting and goes right to it!
4. Reliable - I have had my first one for almost 10 years and it still works just as well as the day i got it in the mail!
   And I have dropped it a number of times.

Jeff Nuttle (Maryland)

Dear Sirs,

The FM transmitter was delivered yesterday - my third purchase from C.Crane. It seemed like a bright idea. It worked straight out of the box, per instructions. It has performed exactly as advertised in your catalogue and web page, and I am enjoying it now.

Thank you,

Otomar Hajek

Dear C. Crane,

I ordered one of your FM Transmitters and one of your Sangean DT220V radios for my wife as Christmas gifts. I was concerned about the range of the transmitter in sending the signal to the DT220V through out the house. Not any more! When it arrived I hooked it up to my Skyfi2 radio and the signal was transmitted not only on the main floor but to the basement as well. These two items are outstanding and I want to compliment the C. Crane Company for bringing great products to the market place. Thanks also for the fast shipping and your customer assistants. Both are a big plus and make ordering a breeze.

Best Regards,

— Bruce P., Carthage, TN

The FM Transmitter is the total BOMB...! In other words, it's excellent.....It transmits sound in real stereo over the FM waves with surprisingly amazing fidelity....I was skeptical at first but no longer.....Enjoy....!

— Fredrick, Lowellville, OH

Thank you for the FM transmitter. It is a nifty little gaget that fits my needs and there is nothing like it on the market.

— Larry, Bermerton, WA

Dear C. Crane,

I just wanted to thank you for your help, one to one support, prompt shipping and doing business from the Internet in a personal old fashion way. I love my C. Crane Digital FM Transmitter. It's the best thing I have ever installed on my computer. I now have a house full of jazz, blues, and rock; instead of only in the computer room. It broadcasts my music, cable TV, phone calls, Internet radio, and email alerts to my boom box radios, intercom system, garage, outdoor deck, spa area, and living room audio video system. My juke box and computer are now shared in every room and place around my home. I have never bragged so much about a product to all my friends! I was going to buy a WI-FI, but this was better and cheaper.

Thanks Again,

— Al, Memphis, TN

Dear C. Crane,

Thank you for a great product line. I purchased the CCRadio plus and the FM transmitter two years ago and they are still working flawlessly. I have a 91 year old grandmother with hearing that's fading, so I plugged the FM Transmitter into the cable box with the enclosed adapters and power supply to amplify the audio through the CCRadio sitting next to her chair. That was 10 months ago, the FM transmitter has been turned on for hundreds of hours with not a glitch. With the Transmitter/Radio combination, there has been added quality in our viewing enjoyment, especially for my grandmother. Thanks again for your commitment to excellence.

Your Customer,

Dear CCrane:

The Freeplay Plus radio came in handy during the hurricanes that hit Florida in 2004. I was in the hospital recovering from nip surgery and my husband was thoughtful enough to bring the radio. When the power went off, hospital personnel and patients relied on the Freeplay to keep informed about what was happening in the "outside world." Several nurses and patients were so impressed with the radio they asked for your address. Hope they followed through because everyone in Florida can use a Freeplay Plus to keep them informed and to supply light when the power is off for weeks at a time.

— Geri, Vero Beach, FL

My daughter lives in Bridge City Texas. Across the river from Port Arthur where hurricane Rita came onshore. I gave her one of my two Freeplay plus radios. Her family was without power for three weeks. The radio with it's builtin light was much used during those trying days and nights.

Thank you Bob Crane for marketing quality products. I have been a loyal customer since 1995 and will continue to be a customer.

God bless you and your family and your business.

I have been using the CCrane ratchet pruner almost daily since receiving it several days ago. It far surpasses other more expensive pruners that I have tried. The construction is very heavy duty and it prunes finger thick branches with ease. The cut is smooth and close. I highly recommend this pruner not only for the occasional gardner but the professional as well.

Sincerely,

Donald, Warner Robins, GA

I just wanted to let you know that I received my pruners yesterday, and they are everything you say. I spent last night pruning out maple trees from our hedge, and those have quite a stalk on them. They worked great. Several of my neighbors looked at them, and loved them too. The one good thing about ordering from C. Crane Co. is that you always know the products perform as specified... I could go on with all the things I have bought from you, but you get the idea. Thanks again for quality merchandise.

— Marjorie, Dedham, MA.

Hello Crane folks,

I received my DT-200VX the other day and wanted you to know how pleased I am with it. I was so impressed that I ordered one for the Old Man who started his first radio business in 1939. I KNOW he'll like this one.

The sensitivity and selectivity are great, especially on the AM side.
The only better I've owned are the 1950's tube boatanchors but many of them sold for $500-600 back then. Besides, it's pretty hard to take one of them to bed with you - they take up lots of room and can get pretty hot, but to each his own.

The audio through a good set of 'phones is superb (one of my cats liked the ear buds better than I did so she got them) and has plenty of drive for even the most inefficient ones.

Yesterday I took the little guy to a translator site I had to work on and it was a big help while trying to hunt down an intermittant audio problem. Plus it was easier than hauling the monitor receiver along.
Think I'll leave that one in the shop from now on.

Now, if Sangean can persuade iBiquity to develop a battery-friendly HD chipset, they'll really have something even better!

I recently received a Sangean DT200V/X/ pocket radio from your company. I am pleased to report that it is functioning great ... even beyond my expectations. I am not a radio authority ... pocket or otherwise, by any standard. However, as advertised, the DT200 V/X/ pulls in AM and FM stations very well. And the excellent fit and finish of this little radio is very nice to see.

Perhaps it's a fluke, but it pulled in 770 WABC, N.Y. in between 780 WBBM, Chicago and 760 WJR, Detroit (my home town) all 50,000 watt stations, better than my GE Super Radio III. The SR had trouble drowning out 760. Again, perhaps a fluke ... but impressive non-the-less.

The FM Stereo with the earbuds has fantastic fidelity ... no complaints there and very enjoyable to sit back and relax with. All in all ... I'm very satisfied with this purchase and your prompt delivery.

Thank you ...

C. Autterson / Novi, MI

Folks, I received my pocket radio today, and upon inserting the batteries and turning it on, I was immediately impressed. I had ordered this product solely for your claim that this radio has the best AM reception of any pocket radio made. I am a devoted AM radio listener; I like to listen to news and sports, and my favorite station, WTMJ-AM, is located in Milwaukee. That's 180 miles away on a line, and even during the day, I can't pick up their signal indoors - or at least I couldn't before now. This little devil picks up that station loud and clear indoors and out! I've always had to struggle to listen to that station during the day because if I wasn't in my car I couldn't get their signal. Now, with the DT 200V, I can listen almost all the time. The antenna wire helps clean up the signal, but I have already found out that I don't need it most of the time. The FM is nice and clear, too, and while my FM listening is only a fraction of my listening effort, I'm very pleased with the sound quality. I am also impressed with the strength with which I am picking up VHF signals, too. Where I live, I'm in between two TV markets, and in general, it's a no-man's land if you don't have cable or satellite TV service. However, I have already found that I can pick up the TV audio from BOTH markets, and that to me is astounding! Bottom line: I've only had the DT-200V for a day, and I already consider it one of the best buys I've ever made. Keep up the good work!

— Paul, Wisconsin Rapids, WI

Dear Sirs,

I am writing this note to tell you how happy I am with the Sangean DT200V AM FM TV Digital Pocket Radio I bought from you. I like to listen to AM talk radio while I work so I was looking for a good pocket radio. I had gone through three different brands of radios and decided to search the internet to see if I could find the “best” pocket radio. I searched Google and found the Sangean DT200V on your web site. Compared to my other radios the DT200V has superior AM reception. It is also extremely durable; so far I have burned a hole in it from a hot spark of metal, dropped it on the ground numerous times and dropped it in my pool twice. Everything still works except the locking switch. None of my other radios would have stood up to this type of use. It also has lots of great features that make it the best radio I have ever owned. Thank you for selling such an outstanding radio.

Sincerely,

— Mark, Menomonie, WI

Dear C. Crane Folks,
Some years ago I bought a Sangean DT-200V from you because you advertise it as the best pocket am receiver on the market. I kinda think it was in the spring of 1996. Just two weeks ago it took its final fall and I couldn't fix it any more and decided that I couldn't wait to get a new one from you so I went to the local radio store and bought the most expensive digital pocket am/fm/TV/weather receiver that they had, and man was I wrong! After a few days, I returned it and got the line to you. My shop is located within one lineal mile of the radio station that broadcasts on 1300 kHz and I frequently like to listen to a station some miles away on 1270 kHz. The inferior radio I got could not split the signal from about 1200 to 1350 kHz but the Sangean even it's dilapidated state by this time always could. (Lots of duct tape and a few solder joints). The Sangean had fallen off the roof twice (single story) and had been dropped Many times in my shop because I carry it clipped to my left rear pocket and caught it on doorways, saws, etc. too many times to count. The final blow was when I was putting in new batteries and inadvertently dropped it and the ferrite broke in half. Being too weak sighted to solder the fine wire back together I figgured that it was time for something new. Little did I know what I was in for. Anyway I've learned my lesson and will never rely on the local radio store again. Its obvious that you folks really know your business and don't pull any B.S. and that's exactly the way that I've run my business here in a hard market for 16 years. By the way, I was very pleased to find the exact replacement radio in your returns bin and I know that it will be every bit as good as a new one. Maybe someday the person that returned it will realize what a bargain it really was. In the mean time I saved 20 bucks!! Thanks again very much!

— Randy Picton

I recently received my Sangean DT220V radio and it exceeds all my expectations. Excellent reception, good quality audio through the built in 1.5" speaker, lighted dial (very handy), 30 presets, AM/FM/TV audio, and to top it all off, built in retractable earphones (and a regular 3.5mm jack if you want to use your own).

Several years ago, I purchased the Sangean DT300VW -- also an excellent radio. However, I wanted something with more "volume" than the built in speaker of the DT300VW. The DT220V has excellent audio response in a small package -- just what I was looking for. And the reception is excellent, with sensitivity virtually equal between the two radios.

I still have the DT300VW when I want something that easily fits in my shirt pocket. But the DT220V is definitely the radio of choice for travel (built in alarm clock), and it's only slightly larger -- coat pocket size.

Finally, keep doing what you do -- offering great quality radios.
