I bought one of the C Crane pocket radios and am satisfied with its
performance. The price was $59 US plus shipping and California sales tax.
It has lots of buttons which are easily identified. the top button on the
right side of the radio selects AM, FM, and the weather band. The on/off
Hi and Congratulations on your purchase and I'm very happy to hear that you're
satisfied with it.
CCrane are a very reputable company to deal with and I've had dealings with
them in the past, I purchased several of their radio offerings.
Now here are some comments and these are from my own
Gary,
You are correct, it is a Coby Tuner. Besides the antenna connection, the unit
received had a power supply that generated so much AM interference that it was
difficult to get an HD signal. I found another
power supply to substitute and the problem was gone completely. The tuner
itself
Hank,
The Sony Tuner is no longer manufactured and hasn't been for a while.
Therefore, you might have trouble finding it. I'll dig out the model of the
Coby, but as I recall, there were two of them, a tuner, and a
portable of some kind.
Best regards,

What can you say about the radio's sensitivity and selectivity? I bought
another of their radios that was some cheaper and was a little disappointed in
the performance given that it was advertised as being
particularly sensitive at the time. I was not so disappointed as to return it,

Which one did you buy?

Steve, we are talking about the same tuner, and I won't pay the price
either.
I guess I will have to save my money and buy a stereo receiver equipped with
HD tuning.
unless you buy a portable hd radio you really can't get an entry level radio
any more. Boston acoustics and Accurion quit
Someone asked me privately what Yamaha in the U.S. has to offer in this regard
and I have to admit to being curious myself given that I've written about my
new Yamaha TD500 tuner, perhaps Yamaha have something like a Thd500 tuner in
the states? If its anything like the TD500 I have then it
Hi!
Since we've been discussing this I thought I'd bring a Podcast I did 2 years
ago to the lists attention, initially I did this Podcast on the Logitech
Squeezebox Boom but much of what the Podcast covers also applies to the
Logitech Radio today so here's the link if anyone's interested in a
hi:
I also have one of these.
the only things you cannot do is set the clock and alarm, and set the
weather alert for the options of 4, 8, and 16 hour alert settings.
you can turn on the the weather alert, though.
hope this helps.
p.s. I am also very satisfied with this radio.

I have to admit that not being able to set an alarm wouldn't put me off buying
a radio these days, I have Samsung Galaxy S3 phone with alarm, iPhone with,
iPod and iPad with more alarms than I know what to do with and so it goes on so
a radio with an alarm I can't set? Well that's just a radio
Hi!
1 thing I forgot to mention, this radio comes with a CD ROM containing
accessible versions of the owners manual, I found this to be of great help.

You may need sighted assistance for this, you go into the Help menu of the
radio and obtain the access code from there.
I initially thought that the Access code might be the Mac address of the radio
which can be gotten from your Rooter but this didn't work.
The access code is 7 characters
Dane,
I think the one I bought was a little Sony that was on sale, AM, FM, and
Weather with no speaker.

I'm still learning about this radio, its the most comprehensive and feature
filled package I've ever had the pleasure to investigate so if you have any
further questions I'll do my best to answer them but can't promise anything.

Hi Dane,
Did you say this radio only has five presets? That's not many compared to
the SqueezeBox and UE radios.

Hi Dane,
As I am thinking whether to go iPhone or a smart phone to replace my current
mobile, can you please say something about your Samsung Galaxy S3 phone,
particularly if you can compare it to iPhone.
Thank you very much.
Hatch.
