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!

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,

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.

Hi folks. As a loyal Coast to Coast AM listener with great respect for Art Bell's and George Noory's endorsements (and others involved -- but especially Art -- who KNOWS his stuff), and also being an avid radio listener, I purchased the CCRadioPlus over a year ago. It met and exceeded all expectations. I listen to stations from all over -- both FM and AM -- and the reception was incredible and sounded as good as advertised.

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 ..

A CCrane radio can be your best friend. It will never argue with you or pass judgment on you. It is always there if you're lonely. It can sing, play music or just talk to you. It can be loud and boisterous or soft and easy when it communicates to you. It can go with you at anytime to anyplace. Its life span can be renewed over and over again. It always looks good and will never embarrass you in public. It can take you to far away places or help you stay close to home. It will help you visit all sorts of entertainment centers and even carry you to all the major sporting events. It can warn you of severe weather and even sing or talk you to sleep if you want it to. It is always ready and willing to do what you want it to do, when you want it to. It can remember the places it has taken you and even tell you the exact time of day. It will allow you to track current events around the world and allow you to listen to talk show hosts you may want to speak to. It will permit you to listen in many different languages and does not discriminate against anybody. The best part is that you don't have to set and stare at it in order to enjoy what it does for you. When you purchase a CCrane radio, your not just acquiring the most modern technology available, you are acquiring what may end up being your best friend. Trust me when I tell you that I know all this is true, because I ended up falling in love with my CCrane radio.

Hi my name is Dave and I first heard about the CC Radio Plus on Art Bell's program about nine years ago. I've been an AM DXer for years, ever since the 60's. And this radio is the best am radio that I've ever used. I ironically live where the world's first commercial radio station signed on-Pittsburgh, PA.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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!

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,

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

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

"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."

"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,"

"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,"

"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,"

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.

I just received my new CC Crane plus radio and fm transmitter. I could not be more pleased with my purchase, it and the transmitter do exactly what I wanted. Liz was very helpful in giving me the info I needed to make the correct purchase. I am now picking up stations that with other radios I only got static. Thanks for the quality product and helpful staff.

Like most folks who bit the bullet and paid the price for a C.C.Crane radio plus, I couldn't be more pleased. I have been using the CC for quite a few years now in our bad-reception mountainous area of the country. It will pull in AM and FM signals NO other radio has been able to get. For anyone hesitating getting one, don't hesitate. For talk radio, this may be your only radio to get those signals. And the sound is wonderful, no static, no antenna necessary most of the time. It's worth the price.

- Nola Stover

Amazing! The CC Radioplus is an incredible product. I live in northern Indiana and this radio picks up stations in Florida and Texas, among others. Sound is terrific and I get very little static from distant s tations and none at all from the surrounding states. My only regret is that I didn't get one sooner. If you listen to AM radio you have to have this radio.

This past summer my beautiful wife bought me a CC Radio Plus for my birthday. The only complaint that I have is that it makes all my other radios sound mufffled and distorted. The CC Radio Plus is, without a doubt, the clearest, sharpest radio signal I have ever heard. And at night it's wonderful to listen to Boston, New York and Charlotte, NC AM stations way down here in South Florida. It's the best birthday present I ever received. Thanks for the great gift, Victoria and thanks, C. Crane.for making such an outstanding product. It really lives up to it's ads on "Coast to Coast."

Greetings,I just got the CCrane Radio Plus as an early Christmas present from my wife and now love my job even more. My parents have a Plus and use it a lot so I knew what direction to point to for a good AM radio. I am a Letter Carrier with a driving route with a lot of time to listen to AM but get so much interference with the radios I have tried. The Plus radio almost seems like it was made for me. First of all it picks up all the bands with easy and no interference (using the car plug accessory I ordered).Second it sits between the dash and the front window (speaker facing the window) with ease. Third ALL of the buttons I need are on TOP which is so easy to switch bands or stations. I think this radio may out last me so I can use it at home when I retire. Perfect choice for any Letter Carrier or Delivery person. Great job.

I bought the c.c. radio a while back and love it, I have always loved am radio even when I was a kid back in Ohio. I use to pick-up , Des Moines, Iowa, Nashville, Tn., New Orleans, LA. and now years later it has always been hard to find a good radio that will reach out in the night time to search the airwaves and bring in the distance stations like the old radios did till the c.c radio came out and it knocks all the other radios out of the ball park. I just wished I had found it years ago, thanks c.c. radio.

I received my CC RadioPlus as a gift in 2002. I enjoyed my radio immensely and especially the weather band aspect of it. In 2008 my CC RadioPlus stopped working. I called the CRANE company and was told I had a lifetime warranty on the radio. I returned my radio and after a few weeks it was returned to me like new. CRANE has great customer service and I would highly recommend a CC RadioPlus to my friends.Thank you,

I bought my wife your CC Radio Plus in 2002, six years ago. Recently wife complained that she could not change the stations any longer. I noticed that the background light was out and several of the led’s also. I contacted C. Crane expecting to pay several dollars in order to get the radio repaired, but was surprised to learn that all I had to do was ship the radio back to your factory and all would be repaired at no cost. Yesterday the radio arrived fedex and all was working great. Thanks C. Crane we deffinately recommend your products.

No doubt, hands down this is the best radio for listening to AM radio there is. The quality speaker masks the fact that the brilliance of this radio is in the technical design of the receiver. I'm ordering a second one for my kitchen to go with the one in my bedroom. Also great for FM and Weather.

I have one of your CCRadio's and particularly enjoy listening to the TV band when I retire at night so I can listen to the news and the Leno Show. Is there no way to receive this TV band after February 2009 since the move to digital?

I am a very satisfied C Crane customer. I own several C Crane products, CCRadio Plus, VersaCorder , DT-200VX Pocket radio and the Freeplay Plus radio.

I purchased a cc radio plus 3 years ago mostly just to listen to coast to coast. I now use it for all its features it is all you say it is and more. Does the cc in cc radio plus stand for CRYSTAL CLEAR? IT IS JUST THAT............

- Stevie A.
Melbourne, FL

I have had my CC radio for a long time and am very happy with great AM reception, which is mostly why I bought it. My only complaint is that the digital display failed after about five or six years of use. The information shows somewhat, but not so that it is readable. I still use the radio since there is nothing better for weak AM signals, but can now only effectively use stations that are assigned to a preset button. If not for this one problem, this is the perfect radio. Wondering if this problem was ever fixed over the years? Thought you might post my testimonial along with verification that this issue was corrected at some point to inform your customers, and generate a few repeat buyers like me who would gladly replace this radio if not for this concern.Thanks,

- Chuck

We live in far western North Carolina, near the Tennessee line at 4000 feet and happen to love talk radio. AM reception up here is very poor. These radios are great for AM and FM is not to be sneezed at either. Yes it is mono through the one well-tuned, large speaker but it features line-out and headphones-out jacks, and supplies stereo feeds on FM and also has a line in which can input a stereo signal. Other features too including terminals for antennas, weather band warning and what is now an almost worthless TV band. Since we still get some of these mountain TV retransmissions in analog, we still get a TV station or two but that is a non-feature now.

We use ours in conjunction with an FM transmitter using the line out to retransmit AM-talk to the whole house on a free FM channel. We love it. This radio has specific applications and fills them well. We take both radios with us during our winter RV trips.

The display has been an issue on both CCRadio Pluses. CCrane replaced them for free (other than the UPS charge for me to get the radios to them for repair).

I would buy another for my applications but two is enough.

Dear C. Crane,

I moved to Delaware 10 years ago from New York.  Being a huge N.Y. Yankee fan I wished for an AM radio powerful enough to pick up the Yankee broadcasts 300 miles away.  I purchased a CC Radio Plus as it was said to be the best.  To my utter amazement I plugged it in and heard my first Yankee radio broadcast in 10 years loud and clear!  However, when I moved the radio to my bedroom where its permanent location is all I heard was a loud hum.  I read the troubleshooting section in the owners manual and found a faulty electrical switch.  A radio problem and electrical problem solved.  Thank you C. Crane.  Go Yanks!!

Regards,

On most counts the CCRadio Plus is the finest radio available. Got mine in 03 on its features not the hype. Found out it did live up to the hype! Will get me the CCRadio-2 in the spring. This is my main bedside radio. Thanks to Coast nighttime program that led me to this radio. The HOLLY GRAIL above most of all radios. More important this fine Company with the best radios C. Crane! Said it ALL!

Hello, About 4 years ago I was looking for a portable radio to replace the one we had in the kitchen; failing after 20 years. I found one on Amazon but then looking at the picture of the radio I saw your logo and then found your website. I then order it from you cheaper than on Amazon and with free shipping. Your rep also assured me that it would arrive in time for Christmas; it did. We have been very satisfied with it. Yesterday our NYC classical station WQXR moved from 96.3 to 105.9 a much weaker station; only 600watts. Living 34 miles from the Empire State building we thought we would have only fair reception with out possibly an outdoor antenna. Well below is my first day report posted on the WNYC-new owner-Listeners Forum.

“Reception in Massapequa Park-34 mi. out on LI Kitchen-C .Crane Radio--excellent Bed Room-Bose Radio-good--needs antenna Living Room--30 year old Onkyo receiver-no reception-106.1 completely overpowers 105.9 So thankfully the change over wasn't as bad as I though it would be.”

So again Crane comes through. You tout voice reception but music reception has always been fine. I also noted that the person posting before me also noted that while living in a fringe area his reception on his Crane radio was very good. So, no complaint, just want you to know people appreciate your products. I think I have an antenna for my Bose radio somewhere, but if not I'll be in touch.
