I recently order a CCRadio-2 for my father in law and myself for father's day, and we were both very impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of the radio, and the excellent reception on all the frequency bands. I have especially enjoyed the 2-meter HAM frequencies. I have pulled in several local HAM operators, and I am even considering getting my Technician Class Amateur Radio license! In addition, I was so impressed by your company, customer service, and your products, that I decided to get another radio (the CC Observer) so I can take one of your fine radios with me camping, fishing, etc. The Observer, also makes a great addition to my Family Emergency Preparedness Kit. Thanks again, for making such great products, and having great Customer service. Also, thanks for keeping your business here in my home state of California... I will be recommending your company to anyone I know looking for an outstanding radio!

I just want you to know how absolutely pleased I am with my CC Radio-2. I've had the radio for about 5 days now and I love it! I also own the original CC Radio which I purchased in either 1999, or 2000, as well as a CC Radio-SW which I have had for a little over a year. As a radio collector, the particular radio which in my personal opinion was my benchmark for pulling in those distant medium-wave stations was the Zenith Transoceanic (royal 3001). I also always enjoyed any of the t600 series or the H500, both of those being vacuum tube models. The Royal 3001 is the solid-state Transoceanic which appeared I believe in around 1963, and was manufactured in to the 70s. The CC Radio-2 blows them all away on medium-wave. It is absolutely amazing! Each year, my wife and I usually take a 2 or 3 thousand mile driving trip. Over the years, and over many trips I have always brought the old original CC Radio because using it is the easiest and fastest way to obtain local weather information where ever we happen to be from the National Weather Service using the "NOAA" channels. The CC Radio-2 will be the radio of choice on future trips for sure! Congratulations once again on an outstanding product, that for all I know, may acquire the legendary status of the good old Zenith Transoceanic.

I live in the mountains and was not able to get any stations clearly, until I bought your CCRadio-2, unbelievable reception. Thank you for a great product.

I recently received my CCRadio-2.  I have a radio in every room and you’ll be pleased to learn that none of them, including my BOSE, can match the sound fidelity I enjoy with this fine CCRadio-2.

I’ve tuned both AM and FM and amazed at the clarity of both bands.  It is so easy to set up and the controls are convenient and user-friendly.

All in all, I’m a happy C. Crane Radio owner and will certainly recommend this product to my family and friends.

It would be unjust not to mention the excellent and courteous service from your phone representative Debbie.

Thanks for a great product from a great company.

Last December my lovely wife presented me with a new CCRadio-2 as a Christmas gift.  I was delighted to receive one, as I had been wanting to own a CCRadio for a number of years, but had delayed purchasing one primarily due to the cost.  I had read many online reviews about the CCRadio line and I was struck with the overall satisfaction most owners had expressed with the product.

I’ve been a “radiophile” for many years, and have worked everything from crystal sets to amateur radio gear.  I always seek products that demonstrate both superior performance and workmanship.  When I learned that the latest refinements to the CCRadio incorporated both the 2-meter amateur radio band and the Twin Coil Ferrite antenna system, I was ready to take the plunge.

At the time I received the radio, I resided in east-central Arizona, but I relocated to Missouri soon thereafter.  The robust performance of the CCRadio exceeded my expectations at both locations.  In Arizona, medium wave stations from the Phoenix and Tucson areas (roughly 200 miles) were received easily during daytime hours without the aid of a tunable loop antenna or long wire.  At my present location, roughly 60 miles east of Kansas City, I can easily receive daytime signals from St. Louis, Omaha, Topeka, Ft. Dodge, IA and countless other locations around the region, all without the aid of an external antenna, and with surprising clarity.  FM reception is excellent as well.

Having been an amateur radio operator for more than twenty years, I appreciate the addition of the 2-meter band and the radio’s scanning capability.  Also, the weather alert feature will be of great value during the upcoming severe weather season.  I have made use of most of the additional features of the radio and find them to be useful and simple to operate.  After two months of using the CCRadio-2 at both locations, I wanted to let you know that this new model hits a home run.  Thank you for providing such an impressive product to a customer that is generally hard to impress.  I heartily recommend the CCRadio-2 to anyone who is serious about maximizing their listening experience.

I received my CCRadio-2 October 29 and the AM reception is wonderful. The FM sound is great. The weather bands are nice to have. The 2-Meter Ham is fun to listen to a super radio. You made my day.

I have held off on sending this until I returned from hunting camp where my new CCRadio-2 got its real test. I purchased it to replace my old CCRadio. I was pleasantly surprised at the improved reception on both AM and FM as well as the improved display screen, controls and 2 meter band to replace the TV channels. I am sure you do not want to put this in your sales pitch but the case on my old radio, with a couple of snips, fits the CCRadio-2 like a glove. Very impressed,

I just got my CCRadio-2 radio yesterday and I love it. It was everything I thought it would be. Only my second order from you and I will buy more stuff.

My CCRadio-2 is great. The AM reception is fantastic. Living in WNY, I can pick up 3 NYC stations, Philly, Chi., Det., Louisville, KY and even Nashville. We have XM radio but with FCC lowering signal, our new FM transmitter permits us to listen to XM anywhere in our house and even in the garage. And Rollye James comes in much clearer as well. Many thanks,

WOW !! Received my new CCRadio-2 and it is wonderful. The addition of Twin Coil Ferrite Antenna is great. I thought my (old) CCRadio gave me good reception but this is much better. Thanks for the improvements.

Thank you for including 2-meter HAM in the CC Radio-2.  As HAM radio operator KC5OZT, I have been involved in emergency communications over the years, including Katrina.  We were getting calls about people trapped in attics, that day the levies broke, and no way to relay them into New Orleans from Texas until a HAM parked his RV outside a State Police Station, in Baton Rouge, I think, that had a contact with the New Orleans police.  We were finally able to relay the addresses in, thanks to 1 HAM in an RV.

Another thing you might publicize is people can follow Skywarm nets on 2-meters in severe thunderstorms.  The will hear about a funnel before it is announced on TV, as the spotters report them to the weather service.

Again, thanks for everything and your support of HAM Radio.

Very sincerely yours,

We at Radiointel.com were excited to have an opportunity to review the new CCRadio2 (CCR2) now available from C. Crane. The CCRadio2 replaces the CCRadioPlus (CCR+) from the C. Crane line up. The CCRadio family has always...(Read the full article at Radiointel.com).

If you enjoy AM radio listening, the CCRadio-2 is for you. The built-in twin coil antenna really amplifies each incoming AM signal. I live approximately 220 miles from the AM station that I use to hear my favorite baseball team's games. I could hear the station using the GE 3 radio and the original CCRadio. However, the signal was not strong enough to get over the noise. This radio, however, places the signal way above the noise floor. My guess is about 6 DB's louder. The CCrane Company is really doing a great job making AM radio enjoyable for all of us. Thank you for all of your hard work, CCrane.

I received my order today in a most timely manner, considering the new CC Radio 2 was just developed and shipped. I put it through its paces--along with several of my 2-meter band portables and its reception was clear and true--to over 20 miles, using repeaters of course.
 
I think is was an absolutely ingenious way to substitute the [analog] TV band for the 2 meter band. The new CC Radio 2 is far superior than the old and in only a few hours am enjoying it immensely. The CC Witness has proven terrific in recording internet broadcasts from the C. Crane WiFi Radio I just purchased and am enjoying it just as much. Well done!
 
Despite the very few minor glitches I've had with C. Crane in the past, you've always made MORE than good on your promises and fixes. No other company I have ever dealt with has had the customer service you have. None.
 
I've dealt with C. Crane for MANY years now and have never, ever been disappointed with your merchandise. You describe it thoroughly; it performs exactly as you say it does. Every single penny I've spent with C. Crane has been money well spent.
 
Again, I will continue to recommend you to my many friends and many of them (over 20 I know of) have become regular customers of yours over the past decade or more. I look forward to your new innovations and will order them as them come available.
 
Thanks again, and I wish you and C. Crane the very best in this tough economy. But you guys obviously have the talent to pick the products that Americans need and want. And please give Mr. Crane my best. As a marketer, he is a genius.
 
Also know well that C. Crane is always free to quote me in their catalogs, publications, etc, with or without attribution and without compensation of any kind. That's how good I think your company is.
 
Very best regards,
