Never listened to the Aviation band? This band lets you listen to nearby pilots, air traffic controllers and ground crew. When traveling, airline schedule changes and problems can be perplexing and annoying. Listening to control towers can provide endless entertainment and informative tidbits of information. It is as simple as telling the Skywave to scan for an active frequency until you find some action. The best one is usually the approach frequency used for planes that are landing and you'll know if you've found the correct one when you hear it. You can also search the web for "air traffic control radio Seattle" for example, to find information and to learn more about aviation radio. If you live next to a smaller airport you could ask a local pilot for the frequency or look up "common traffic advisory frequency" plus the airport name. English is the standard language used in aviation at all airports worldwide. When traveling abroad, unless you have checked local laws, tuck your Skywave™ into a safe corner of your carry-on. An Airband radio may not be legal to have in some countries. Click Here for The SWLing Post Review of the C. Crane CC Skywave portable radio. |

Almost Perfect!
I like everything about this radio except the location of the volume control. I frequently inadvertently adjust it when handling the radio. I would also prefer a rocker type control to the knob. Love all else.

Does not work inside school
I'm sure this radio is great everywhere else but I bought it because of the reviews on the reception. I work in the kitchen at a school and had no reception at all so I returned the radio.

FM Reception better than a Grundig Yacht Boy
The best radio I ever used on FM by far! I've spent several decades as a ham and all around radio nut. Nothing came close to the reception on this, even my Superradio! I pick up a station on almost every possible frequency. I live on the top floor of a high-rise, but most signals are shielded by my having only one window! This is a great radio, all around.

PROS
Very strong MDS. Nice clock and alarm set by a dial to add the ease of just rolling up to the numbers!
CONS
If you need side-band or morse code reception, you may want the higher priced version to add that function.

Love to keep it in bed as my anything radio and alarm clock as well!

Just WOW
I bought this radio over five years ago and after some use it stopped working. Years later, just a few months ago, I turned it on and it did not work. I called Crane, they said to send it in and they would fix it. They got back saying it could not be repaired and they sent me a brand new one for FREE! This was way out of warrenty too. The main thing is that it out performs my other radios by a great margin. Mt Tecsun hardly works by comparison and my Yaucht-boy or Sony can not receive half of the stations I get with this little baby. This has become my goto radio for casual listening. If I get serious I pull out the old Drake model 9. I use a 110 foot end-fed antenna and a loop both mounted in my attic. This radio ROCKS!!!Thank you Crane for the GREAT work!

A nice fun radio.
I mainly use this as a bedside radio for listening to my local FM and some distant AM at night. Reception of the strong 'clear channel am stations is good. It is also good for traveling and can be thrown into a suitcase for travel.

PROS
Good reception on AM, FM, OK on shortwave. Also good weather-alert radio.
CONS
Whip antenna broke inside the plastic case after I owned this for a year. I was able to somewhat fix it but need to be careful extending and rotating. I absolutely hate dust getting into the LCD display and this radio is prone to getting dirt inside the display.

RADIO EXCHANGE
I purchased a Skywave radio from REI in Redmond, Washington. The user manual gave instructions for use of a feature that had not been incorporated in the radio I purchased. When I called Crane, Jennifer instructed me to send the radio to Fortuna. In turn, Crane sent me the latest Skywave model with the updated feature. Lisa Wilson became my contact for the exchange and was very helpful and responsive. I sincerely appreciate receiving the newer model radio. This was an overall positive experience.

Great reception and easy to tune. It's pretty tough, I've dropped it a few times. I use rechargeable batteries and they last most of the week. Best radio I've ever owned.
CONS
I pulled the antenna tip out. I fixed it. Now I don't pull so hard.Don't leave it in direct sun light, the LCD goes black. When it Cools down everything is ok.

Great for Travel if We Could Hear It
This great, very portable travel radio worked perfectly for several months. Then without warning, the audio stopped working. Unfortunately it was just past the warranty, so we couldn't return it. This is our 3rd C. Crane radio - we are long time customers. The audio issue happened twice - Customer Service helped resolve it the first time but several months later it happened again and so far we can't hear anything.

PROS
Lightweight, great reception and easy to use. Exceptional C. Crane quality. the WX Band is a real plus for traveling.
CONS
Audio failed shortly after the warranty period. We're still trying to make it work but so far no luck. I really miss this radio and have had to haul around our older, heavy EP C. Crane radio when fishing in the high country.
BEST USES
Travel companion - great reception and the WX band is invaluable when on the road.

Very nice!
I was in Salt Lake City in the REI outdoor shop to get this nice radio. On vacation in the USA, I had called to REI to hold this CC Skywave receiver, because CC crane don t deliver to the Netherlands. A wonderful radio, I have at home here a Tecsun S2000 but this little one is a good second and sometimes as good as the Tecsun. Great reception on SW, AIR, I live 25 km from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, but there is so much to hear. So I can advise anyone this radio!

Good reception on all bands! The WX band is not used here in the Netherlands. If you connect a short piece of wire, then you hear more radiostations on shortwave.

The Chevy of Radios
As I've experienced with Chevrolet vehicles, this radio resembles them in quality. It performed excellently during the first two years of ownership, but it's definitely not built to last. The first item to fail was the external, telescopic antenna. Though treated gently, first the top section separated from the rest of the antenna then another section, followed by yet another. Next, the volume control buttons became sporadically responsive, but they worked kind of. Thirdly, the radio really wasn't as good on AM reception as the product description would have us believe. I'd rate its ability as mediocre at best. I definitely wouldn't rely on it during emergency situations it has failed several times just when I needed it. Consequently, I feel this radio & probably all other models produced by this company is considerably overpriced with engineering that's indicative of planned obsolescence. Yep, just like a Chevy! I definitely won't be a return customer, & I'd advise others a

Best AM Radio for Area
I live in an RF shadow of nearly all. And this little radio picked up a channel all day everyday that I had to deal with atmospheric, and radio station power issues and mostly able to only listen early am for an hour or so... I can say enough. Also the solar battery charger is great. Likely my favorite issue aside from reception will be the automatic freq. location while I am on the road in my RV no matter where I go. Thank you C.Crane. Do you need a Quality Engineer, hum well maybe not after I got one :0 Retired QE Hewlett Packard Co. and USMC Vet

What a dandy machine!
I've loved SWLing since I built my first Heathkit close enough to 50 years ago as makes no difference. I love my E1, and my Sangean ATS-909 Super, and my CCRadio-SW, and my FRG-7700 (if I can get it realigned), and my 2001 (if I can find an Error 3 fix that works), but for pure fun, while some match none exceeds the little Skywave. But more than that, this is an area where power goes out a lot, often in winter when we're snowed in. A box of batteries will keep this baby cooking for a month, and that's justification enough for it. The ATS function is a joy every so often, push the ATS button and the memories get loaded up with whomever is on the air *right now.* Then you just choose from among them more than makes up for the fairly aggressive detent in the tuning wheel. Sangean used to do this, too, and I didn't understand why then and don't now. But as I said, ATS is the way to go, which means you seldom touch the tuning wheel. Great radio!

PROS
Surprisingly sensitive,Even more surprisingly selective the filters are sharp-shouldered and really work,A breadbox-sized receiver in a tiny package,And WX and Aviation
CONS
I wish the aviation band scan were a little faster because as it is it's best topunch the frequencies into memory before you go listening to airplanes and airports the shortness of transmissions and the slow scan speed means you'll miss all but the busiest towers.,I could live without the clickkiness og the tuning wheel.
BEST USES
Everyday carry,Emergencies,Boredom relief!

Very good radio the cost
Very happy with the radio overall. Was surprised how small it is, even though you clearly state the dimensions on the product description. Earbuds a nice added bonus.

PROS
Has alot of features and capabilities for such a small radio.,Excellent AM reception-even in areas with alot of clutter and interference.

Wanted the dial or lense light to stay lit at night after the radio is turned on-but it goes off in 10 seconds after turning the radio on.
BEST USES
Bedside at night-Or anytime traveling. Very easy take along with you wherever you go-Battery operation too when you're away from an outlet.

almost as good as the YB 400PE
Compared it to my Grundig YB400PE on AM and FM. Not quite as sensitive on AM but the Skywave has half the internal antenna length,so its comparable for a radio in its class. FM was similar, air band is good too. On SW, the Yacht Boy blew it out of the water so the shortwave band is not one of its highlights but still a good bug out radio or daily listener for the compact size.

Nice multiband radio
The AM sensitivity is excellent for such a tiny radio and the FM, Air and Weather bands are similarly sensitive. I am not sure how to evaluate the ham bands since I have not listened to them that much. After dark I get all of the WWV channels with no problem, however. Overall I am very pleased with this radio.

Awesome little radio
My other portable is the venerable Yacht Boy 400pe which I'm sure most will agree is a classic performer but since the Skywave has arrived the YB has been sitting on the shelf.

PROS
Reception is fantastic,,All of the radios functions work flawlessly,The speaker is more than adequate and more so with ear buds,,The tuning knob is a very nice feature,,the antenna, although small at 16 inches pulls in a couple dozen SW stations on any given night in my area,,Weather and Air bands function great as well
CONS
As far as performance goes... none!,The only thing I could be critical of is the provided case. It's a bit on the flimsy side... I'm not expecting it to last nearly as long as the radio,

CC Skywave Radio
Used in Akron Ohio, the CC Skywave gets great AM and SW reception over much of the U.S., out to Texas, Missouri, Iowa, and of course all along the East down to Atlanta, with no extra antenna. However, in some lowland locations in South Carolina, and external SW antenna will be necessary.

Excellent except for the display light
The only reason I did not give the SKYWAVE five stars is because of my complaint about the display light. Whenever tuning is taking place, the display light is on, and it stays on for about 15 seconds after tuning stops. Except for that, the SKYWAVE is excellent in other respect.

Great reception on all bands,Adjustable squelch on air band,Very good sound quality for its size,Wrist strap and soft carrying case,Excellent battery life,Recharges NiMH batteries
CONS
I like to slowly scan AM at night while lying in bed in the dark...but I cannot use the SKYWAVE for this purpose because there is no way to turn off the display light.,There are many reasons why a user might want to change the duration of the display light...or turn it off completely.

Best pocket radio I've ever used
The CCSKYWAVE replaces an 8 year old CCRadio-SWP which received near daily use in a wide variety of urban settings. It was used only with AA batteries and exclusively tuning the AM band. A friend now enjoys it. The new SKYWAVE seems better in every way. I particularly like the quieter AM reception, the band width options, the rotary volume control, and the preset configuration. As with my new CCRadio2E, what a joy to find another product whose revision seems better than the original! Time will tell regarding durability. Obviously, this much smaller radio lacks the exceptional range of the CCRadio2E.

Exceeded expectations, highly recommend!
I own several AM/FM and/or SW radios including TECSUN PL-380, all 3 GE Supers. I am very impressed with the Skywave's sensitivity and it's multi functions. I have used it during daylight hours and even then, AM and SW reception is relatively exceptional. I live in a rural area, so reception is sometimes spotty but Skywave pulls in AM stations my other radios can't find in the ether. I did devote 20-30 minutes to read and understand the well written instructions which really is a requirement to fully appreciate any a multi-function radio. Once understood and used a few times, the functions are intuitive. It's memory settings are useful. Airband is a nice to have if you are into that. The case and earbuds add value. I have used Skywave while running (light weight and fits easily into a regular size pocket), hiking and will as a travel radio. I own several C Crane radio products, I am pleased with this new addition.

Skywave AM/FM/Shortwave
Unfortunately, the radio did not perform as I expected. The shortwave reception, even at night was poor. Even getting WWV for a time hack was poor. I attached the cable antenna, and it did'nt really improve much. FM was the best, even in remote Eastern Oregon. AM was good sometimes and not so good others. I had a similar SONY radio for over 20 years. It worked great, until a circuit went bad.

Amazed at this Little Radio
The thing that caught my eye was the addition of the VHF aircraft band. I purchased the radio with moderate expectations. I have been impressed with C. Crane quality, but I have had sub $100 portables from other makers that didn't impress me. The aircraft band performance impressed me from the start. The sensitivity and audio is good. I like to listen on the AM band, and the sensitivity and selectivity of this radio is good. I like the sleep time so I can listen at night and not wake up with dead batteries the next day. There is not much to listen to on FM where I live, but I was amazed that this little radio was pulling in weak and distant stations. It's also a good performer on shortwave (when there's something worth listening to on the air, which is getting rarer). The only problem was that the manual wasn't correct for my radio apparently there have been some updates and I had to look at the slightly different manual online to use a few features.

Great Interface (Easy to Use) Very Strong Performer.
I researched this radio perhaps more than any other. Read both professional shootouts / reviews on Swling and consumer opinions on Amazon & here at C Crane. The radio was exactly what I was looking for, but I had concerns. More on those later. I've had this radio for 6 months and have run it through all the paces, from fringe areas in the middle of nowhere to midtown Manhattan. Inside, outside and all atmospheric conditions, it's held up well so far. First, the radio's interface and ergonomics are perfect. It's very easy to use. I like the fact you have multiple ways to tune in signals. There's the rotating knob, fast or slow. There's up and down slew keys with scan, and the scan function is fast. You have memories and direct entry. That's more options than available on most radios. Let me say, I love page memories, it's easier to organize stations / locations and the Skywave offers 10 pages of 10 memories on each band. Unlike the Tecsun ETS, I get to pick

perfect little radio
this radio exceeds all expectations, I have a grundig G-6 and grundig satellite 750 this radio out performs both of them, in the receive on all bands, I would recommend this radio to anyone. I live in the southern California desert reception on it is excellent. Need a good small portable buy one even if you do have to pay extra for the a/c power supply.

PROS
This is truly a great little radio. I find the reception is fanomanal. It was pretty straight forward figuring out the controls. I couldn't believe it actually included squelch. Just an absolute gem of a radio. I was really surprised to se scanning on the air band.
CONS
The only thing I could think of that it could include is the temperature.
BEST USES
Great in all the bands.

Surprisingly excellent
I'm a ham radio guy and I can appreciate the sensitivity on AM/FM. Too much local noise here in the city to be sure about the shortwave but suspect it will be perfectly fine when camping out on a hill with a 20 foot chunk of wire alligator clipped to the telescoping ant.The weather channels are a nice touch and appear to have good sensitivity. I get a strong Phoenix forecast on channel 7 and a weak one on ch 2 all the way from Tucson. I use this radio to listen to talk radio while in fast food places,sensitiity and volume are very good, the earbuds are #1.KF7RY

Phenomenal Travel Radio
AM, FM, Shortwave, Weather Alert, Aviation Band in a radio that will fit in your pocket, or easily in luggage, briefcase, or portfolio. Not only that, this is as good as any portable radio you have ever used. With a state-of-art DSP chip. And it's a true DX radio - it really pulls in the signals - if it's out there, you will hear it. The Skywave is an amazing radio. I have several ultralight radios and the Skywave is easily my favorite. So go ahead, toss it in the overnight bag and have yourself some fine listening and DX'ing! How can you not love C Crane?

Great Emergency / Travel Radio
This feature packed radio best satisfied my need for an emergency type radio. I live in hurricane and tornado country, so the weather band was a must have feature during power outages. My Skywave arrived the same day as an expensive pair of Marshall earbuds. Although not perfect, the CCrane earbuds trounced the Marshalls in every way. Quality FM stations will have your toes tapping. Problem FM stations aren't magically transformed into powerhouses. Skywave does a fine job with any reasonable signal. I have not tested the AM/SW/Air Wave bands as I do not foresee using them. This radio truly sips power! I used alkaline batteries for the first week to get an idea how long they might last. Before and after voltage tests were only slightly different. Paired with rechargeable batteries and a solar cell phone charger, I feel prepared for any emergency or excursion. Personally, I would have preferred to be able to remove the wrist strap and replace it with a neck lanyard

Best Little Radio Out There
Great little radio! I've had a few days to play and it exceeding my expectations. For aircraft you'll need the control tower frequencies (key in save) and flight times, they don't chat like SW so it comes in burst. In central Ohio, I'll pick up Canada, Mexico, Cuba, South America, Germany, and many in the States. Nice functions built in like NiMH charging, squelch for air, fast/slow tuning, and lots of memory to preset for fast tuning. Even the wx channels are clear from over 100 miles away. And also a lock key so the radio doesn't come on during travel. I looked at many -PL660 was the closest but $30 more and twice the size. It's been on/off for about 12 hours and no battery power loss.

What a cool little radio!
This is my first all-in-one pocket radio. I'm very impressed with the sound and sensitivity. Just watch some youtube and read the manual, and you'll be dialing in all the fun. First station on sw, was Australia at 15:45 with no wire! Picked up weather station in Cleveland too-130 miles away. For aircraft channels use this map link to load control towers (ct) : /vfrmap.com/?typevfrc&lat39.997&lon-82.892&zoom10 . Am and FM come in Great too.

Went on the wait list for this one to be shipped as soon as available. I've had several Grundigs, Kaitos and others, but the Skywave trumps all, especially with the aviation band, battery efficiency, panel layout and more. Look at the other reviews: there are a lot of good reasons for so many 5 stars.

Great Radio for this little radio
I like the reception of this radio. The AM band have long range of reception. The Fm band have a separation between a station. I would recommend weather band because I live about 40 miles of the station and the reception is excellent. The sound is good is loud and clear voice.

Good performance
I listen to talk on both AM and FM. I get good reception with marginal signals (as judged compared to my C Crane radio) I power mine from NiMH rechargeable and it is so easy to plug in to USB and push charge button to recharge. Even if using conventional non rechargeable cells this radio barely sips power! I like that the battery charge display seems to work well with the 1.2 volts out from NiMH cells.

Good f.m.& timer is a plus.
CONS
I had a cheap $10.00 Sony radio I bought from Walgreens about 7 years ago that could pick up stations as well as this radio. The sw& aviation gets boring very quickly. I have never heard any conversations on them. If you are lucky someone will garble a few numbers that are meaningless to me. I thought C.Crane radios has great reception but the are no bettet than a cheap drug store radio.

My New Favorite Pocket Radio
I've been swling for about the last 50 years. When I heard about this radio my interest was peaked. Did research on the radio and liked what I was reading so I decided to give one a try. I chose wisely. This little radio is outstanding. I'm not going to repeat what everyone else is saying, but I will say this is one very nice radio that fits in your pocket. CCRANE knocked this one out of the park! My new favorite pocket sized radio.

Versatile Compact Radio
I've been searching for the perfect radio since listening to Zenith transistors in the middle 60s. This compact quality radio comes very close with the five bands and sensitivity across the bands. It is now my go-to radio for any outdoor activities because of its versatility. Also fits in a pocket while listening at a ball game. Now I'm hoping C Crane can add Ham radio 2 meter Snd/Rcv capabilities along with the current five bands to their next radio. I'll gladly add it to my collection. Thank you, CCrane! :)

I must add my 2 cents two, 4 a wonderful radio. I bought my LITTLE CCRANE Skywave a month ago and am amazed at this GREAT little radio. It has so much too offer in such a little package & of course sounds so wonderful too. I have two RadioShack radios dx396 & dx 360, 5 times bigger, that are very good but cant match my little CCrane [ that I love ]. The manual was explicit also & it was easy 2 program. I absolutely recommend this little gem.

Small but powerful
Purchased a Skywave with AC adaptor for my son for Christmas. He loves it. He works for the US Postal Service on the Oregpn coast so he particularly likes the weather band. First thing in the morning he listens to the weather report so he knows what to expect and can plan accordingly. Just bought one for myself and cant believe how many functions Ccrane got into a small package. For the size and the money I dont think you can beat it. Aircraft, weather, shortwave, AM and FM. You get it all. Quality sound and great reception.

Love my new CC Skywave!
I absolutely love my new CC Skywave radio. I own several CC radios including the CC Radio2, Observer and SW Pocket. Although l really have enjoyed my SWP, the Skywave has made several improvements on the SWP design. The rotary volume knob and adding Airband frequencies to name a few. I work in aviation so I really love being able to scan the Airband and save them to memory. I was able to pull in a couple of nearby airports in my area right from my house. The ATS function is also handy as well especially for shortwave. Speaking of shortwave, what a great performer for such a little radio. Just sitting in my living room, downstairs.... I was able to pull in at least 10 SW stations. CC Radio has made another outstanding product and it is perfect for travel. I take my SWP on all my hikes and campouts and I will now be taking along my Skywave. A lot of radio and versatility in one great little package. Great job CC RADIO!!!!

When I first saw this radio that I received for Christmas, I couldnt believe all the features in the small size. Wow! I was amazingly surprised at the quality of reception and the room filling sound. This is an excellently designed radio.

Great little radio
Worked right out of the box with no problems. What I love about this radio is that just like the old CCRadio Plus it will use and recharge batteries. I love being able to unplug it and run it off batteries when outside working. Reception inside our old doublewide is excellent.

C Crane has done an excellent job in the design
The reception on MW too me is perhaps the best part of this radio since I listen to talk . I walk and ride with this radio in my pocket and reception does not change. They did a pretty good job with the antenna along with the electronics. The only thing that I have noticed when compared to my more expensive portables is that you cant independently program memories. For example: if you start out on page(1) and program 3 AM stations into memories 1,2,3, then program 3 FM stations in 4,5,6. Toggling the radio off/on, depending on what band appears in the display is where the memory buttons will respond too. So if your in AM mode, then only memories 1,2,3 will work. Other than that minor inconvenience the radio performs really well on FM and Shortwave. I found the ATS feature very useful on the SW bands. The audio for this size radio is pretty good and not tinny in my opinion, although there is no bass. Headphones sound great on FM stereo. Also what I find convenient with the radio wh

Every band a winner!
I got my Skywave for Christmas, and I am extremely pleased. I am a radio DX hobbyist, and have a very large assortment of radios with which to compare the new Skywave. The am band is exciting -I am getting my best DX of the season with this little radio.The band width selector is terrific. The air band is perfect - it actually scans, has a squelch,and picks up more traffic than my best scanners.The fm is fine - I could hear everything I wanted to hear with the very nice included stereo earbuds. The weather band is fine, and the shortwave outperformed several highly-rated Tecsuns I compared with. Only the much more expensive PL880 and Satellit 750 did better. I highly recommend this great radio, especially for the SW, AM and Air bands.

this is an awesome radio!!
I just received this radio today for Christmas and I am blown away by all the features and sensitivity, esp. the AM band which I can barely receive anything past 1250 due to a few local strong stations. This radio wouldve been perfect if it had SSB or LW and continuous coverage. But all in all this is a great radio! I love you C.Crane :)

The Ultimate Travel Radio
After putting this radio through all the paces, I am convinced that its quite possibly the ultimate travel radio! I am particularly impressed with the performance of the AM and SW bands. And I really appreciate the precision offered with the thumbwheel volume control, as well. Thanks for another great product, my 6th purchase from CCrane. I have yet to be disappointed!
