C. Crane CC Skywave SSB 2 AM, FM, Shortwave, NOAA Weather + Alert, Scannable VHF Aviation Band and Single Side Bands Small Battery Operated Portable Travel Radio Includes SW Wire Antenna Adapter

!. With no experience and no additional equipment, I can sit on my patio and listen to NOAA Weather, aircraft passing by speaking to air traffic control, FM and AM stations as well as some shortwave. I'm sure when I get around to connecting the supplied antenna and gain a little more knowledge of frequency I will be able to pick up more.

This is an amazing radio—100% worth the price. For a radio of this size, the sound is excellent. I don’t understand why some people say the sound isn’t good. It’s very small, perfect for camping and backpacking, and also very easy to use.

Great and capable little portable radio. Perfect travel companion to keep in touch.

A lot of radio in a small package. Price (to me) was reasonable. Quality can't be understated. However small buttons and multiple button actions in each button make this a daunting effort to learn and then master.

Nice small portable radio gets great reception. It also has weather, ham radio and avaition bands useful in emergencies This radio is well made and works great.

Good radio, perfoms fine, but way overpriced compared to the usual Chinese fare like Tecsun PL 330 or an XHDATA D 808. And for nearly 200 bucks, you can't throw in a couple of rechargeable batteries? Heck you can buy a Tecsun PL 990 for this money. Dinging two stars for the price, no batteries, and tinny audio. Anything you can pick up with this you can pick up with any of the radios above. Just another DSP radio. Considering keeping it because it's an American brand. Made in China like all the others. They just won't admit that. I collect and religiously use and love all radios... Buy a Tecsun 990, Eton Elite Executive, XHDATA 808. If you get any of the above you'll get better AM, or medium wave, reception due to every one of them having a larger internal ferrite bar.

Radio shipment came on time, was packaged well, and met my requirements. The radio is top-of-line and was better than I expected. The seller did an excellent video review on the product. Reception is way above average.

The C. Crane Skywave SSB 2 is in a class by itself - a small, travel-sized portable that can tune Longwave, Mediumwave (the AM broadcast band), Shortwave (including both the broadcast and SSB bands), FM broadcasts, the VHF airband and NOAA weather stations. It runs on only 2 AA batteries (and can charge NiMH batteries internally). Ergonomics are not wonderful, no surprise for a tiny travel portable, but performance is quite good and the frequency coverage listed above is unmatched in other travel portables.

Great product and batteries last long.

Better than expected!

Tooks weeks to arrive. Installed "AA" batteries as instructed. Several different batteries, all checked and charged completely, Duracells. Would not turn on. Wouldn't be annoyed if it didn't take weeks to arrive. Could have sent it back right away. Needed it for trip. Now, looking for other options.
