C. Crane is proud to introduce our newest powerhouse portable radio – the CCRadio-SW
AM/FM/Shortwave Radio. Thanks to the built-in Twin
Coil Ferrite™ AM Antenna, this masterful radio has AM reception in the same
class as the legendary CCRadio
plus. It also delivers outstanding FM, and – here’s the big news – Shortwave!
This phenomenal radio offers the best combination of sensitivity, selectivity
and audio performance ever for any radio of this price and size. Shortwave is
excellent right off the whip antenna. The five-inch speaker is accurate, pleasant
and reproduces deeper bass than any portable of similar size.
The CCRadio-SW comes with a large, easy-to-read LCD display and all the adjustments
necessary for excellent performance under various conditions. C. Crane provides
a clear, straightforward manual to get you started. Here are some of its outstanding
features: RF Gain Control, Bandwidth Control, Bass and Treble Controls, Fast
and Slow Tuning, 50 Memories, Lighted Buttons, Clock Radio with Snooze Alarm,
Stereo Line Output and Headphone Jack, IF Output for Input to Computer. Runs
on four "D" size batteries or four backup "AA" batteries (not included). Built-in
charging circuit will recharge optional NiMh batteries right inside the radio-saving
you both time and money. AC Adapter and antenna connectors included. One-year
limited warranty. Weight: 4.2 lbs. Size: 11.25" W x 7.25" H (9" H with handle)

What are the possible sleep timer settings?
| |
You can set the sleep timer for 90, 60, 45, 30, 15, 10, or 5 minutes or even just 1 minute.
|
| |
If I accidentally activate the sleep timer setting, do I have to wait for the timer to go off before turning the radio back on?
| |
No, the last choice in the sleep timer selection is on. Select 'on' and the radio will continue to play continuously.
|
| |
How long will a fresh set of AA Alkaline batteries power the radio?
| |
A set of AA Alkaline batteries rated at 2500 mAh would provide roughly 30 hours of runtime if the radio is played at a moderate volume level.
|
| |
How long will a fresh set of D-size Alkaline batteries power the radio?
| |
A set of D Alkaline batteries rated at 14000 mAh would provide roughly 175 hours of runtime if the radio is played at a moderate volume level.
|
| |
Does the CCRadio-SW Have SSB?
| |
No. The CCRadio-SW does not have Single Side Band. The CCRadio-SW covers:
SW1: 1711-10010 kHz
SW2: 9990-20010 kHz
SW3: 19990-29999 kHz
|
| |
Does the CCRadio-SW have a line-in jack?
| |
No. The CCradio-SW does not have a line-in jack. However, the CCRadioplus and the Sonido radios do have line-in jacks. If you would like to know about more C. Crane radios with line-in jacks, please Contact Us.
|
| |
What is the frequency coverage of the CCRadio-SW?
| |
The CCRadio-SW has a frequency range from 1,711 kHz to 29,999 kHz.
|
| |
Does the CCRadio-SW have 1 kHz tuning?
| |
Yes, the CCRadio-SW has 1 kHz tuning on both the AM and SW bands.
|
| |
Does the CCRadio-SW work with the CCRadioplus Custom Step Down for Mobile use?
| |
How do I disable the "beeps" on my CCRadio-SW?
| |
To disable the "BEEP" you hear when you push any of the buttons on your CCRadio-SW, you first have to turn off the radio. With the radio off, press and hold down the SNOOZE button until you hear a short beep. This procedure should disable the beeps. You can enable the beeps again by pressing and holding down the SNOOZE button until you hear the short beep - also with the radio turned off.
|
| |
I want to charge my rechargeable batteries in the CCRadio-SW, will the battery charging circuit on the CCRadio SW automatically turn on when I use the AC adapter?
| |
No. To activate the charging circuit, first turn the radio off and then press the memory/charge button to activate the charging circuit. The charging cycle will run for 12hrs before shutting off. If you are charging high-capacity D-size NiMH batteries it can take up to 3 to 4 charge-discharge-and-recharging cycles to get them up to full capacity.
|
| |
Does the Solar Kit for the CCRadio Plus work with the CCRadio-SW?
| |
What is that rattle I hear sometimes when I move my CCRadio-SW?
| |
When you have no D size batteries in your CCRadio-SW and move it, the springs in the battery compartment can make a slight rattling noise.
|
| |
Is it normal for the AC adapter to become warm during use?
| |
What does the term Dual Conversion that is printed on top of the display screen mean?
| |
Dual Conversion, A dual conversion receiver filters and amplifies the incoming radio signal from the transmitter twice. This double filtering helps the receiver to ignore unwanted signals that are close to the frequency being used. This is not protection against another transmitter sending a signal on the same frequency. Instead, it is protection against other transmitters transmitting on frequencies that are close to the one being used. Dual Conversion typically makes a receiver more selective without reducing sensitivity. This can really help if you have a strong unwanted station nearby the bleeds into the station you want.
|
| |
My rechargeable batteries never show a full charge in my radio, are they working right?
| |
Rechargeable batteries will NEVER show a full charge on your radio display. Most of our radios are calibrated to read the charge of your Alkaline batteries - which is 1.5 volts at full charge. Rechargeable batteries, however, are fully charged at just 1.25 Volts, and so your radio will show a partial charge even if the rechargeable batteries have been fully charged.
|
| |
Does the clock-radio function have a buzzing alarm, or is it just a radio alarm?
| |
You can set the alarm on the CCRadio-SW to go off to the buzzer or the radio. If you set the alarm to go off to the radio, you'll get the station and the volume setting that you listened to before turning the radio off.

The CCRadio SW will not turn on.
| |
1. Make sure the "LOCK" is off.
2. Check the "BATTERY SELECTION" switch to make sure it is in the proper position.
3. Be sure that the batteries are installed correctly.
4. Make sure all batteries are good.
5. If using the AC Adapter, make sure that it is plugged fully into the power jack.
|
| |
The CCRadio SW has poor reception on FM and SW.
| |
1. Check the "FM/SW ANTENNA" switch on the right side of the radio for the proper setting.
2. Check the position of the "AM SENSITIVITY" switch for "LOCAL" or "DISTANT" setting.
3. Check the position of the "AM RF GAIN" control. It should be fully clockwise.
|
| |
The CCRadio SW has poor reception on AM.
| |
1. Check the position of the "AM RF GAIN" control. I should be fully clockwise.
2. Rotate the radio for the best reception.
3. Concrete, brick and metal buildings can greatly reduce radio reception. Try the radio outside. If the reception is improved, add an external AM antenna like C. Cranes Twin Coil Ferrite Am Antenna.
|
| |
I changed the "AM Tuning Steps" from 10 kHz to 9kHz, but my radio does not respond.
| |
You must press the "RESET" to activate the change. To press the "RESET", use the end of a paperclip and push it into the hole briefly.
|
| |
My tuning knob rubs when I turn it. How can I fix it?
| |
We are sorry, this sometimes happens with a new radio manufacturer. Pull the knob straight off. Make a little ball out of a 1" square piece of paper. Push it in the shaft hole on the knob. Line up the flat edges of the knob and shaft and replace the knob.
|
| |
I get decent reception on the CCRadio-SW but I don't seem to get the kind of reception I was expecting.
| |
Check the Local/DX switch. The switch should be set to DX for the best AM reception. The Local position is used when you are near a transmitting tower and it is distorting a nearby station on the dial.
|
| |
I have D batteries in the radio but it won't turn on.
| |
Make sure the "Battery Size" switch located on the left side of the radio is set to "D."
