this is the worst radio that I have ever owned. It does not pick up any SW stations, the volume control is not continous. Even the AM reception is poor. from Amazon.com I thought C Crane made very good radios, but when I got their SWPocket Radio, I was disappointed. There is a lot of bleeding on the FM band, especially from two Johnstown area stations. from Amazon.com I use this radio while in bed at night. (1) Digital volume control too sensitive. From too low to too loud in one step. from Amazon.com Paid $39.98 at J & R Music World. Best in class. While this radio is not for the serious SW listener, it is just right for the international traveler who is concerned with space and reception. from Amazon.com I'm a fan of C. Crane products as the Crane's are about the last true radio lovers in the business. from Amazon.com I found this tiny radio to be a pleasant surprise. The reviews of it are oddly negative. I would agree with two criticisms: the volume levels are quite awkward, with the first degree being nearly inaudible, the next too soft, the next too loud, and the others far too loud to ever be useful. This could be a problem at times, especially if the unit is used in a public place or as a bedside radio. from Amazon.com this product has incredible sound quality for am talk radio, the batteries last for a very long time, and the features are great. from Amazon.com my main use for it is at night in bed to listen to talk radio, baseball games and in general to kill time during those nights of insomnia. from Amazon.com 3) it has a fine and very useful tone switch (music/news) with stereo through the earbuds as well as a two position local/dx switch (rf gain attenuator for sw frequencies). from Amazon.com while in the woods and surrounded by the hills of western massachusetts, i was very surprised at the all-round quality of this radio. from Amazon.com
