Review: Better than the knock-offs. Cost more but paying for something that actually works. - Works as expected and has much better reception than another radio (knock-off) I've had that is the same size. Need to read the instruction manual to understand all the buttons. Some buttons have more than one use. It scans the bands well. Volume from speaker is good, though the included headphones are better for clarity vs the single speaker. The included case is soft synthetic cloth material and only protect from sand or sprinkles but not drops or impacts. The 2xAA are lasting well after several hours of use. Has good features (e.g. squelch) and is useful for emergencies or road trips/camping. I was tired of having a radio that did not have good reception, the CCrane is picking up local stations my other radio did not. It is also receiving AM stations with less static or interference. Weather band is clear as my weather radio.
Review: Miniature all-band radio! - C Crane is one of the top notch radio sets out there. That said, you MUST have an external antenna to pick up any distant signals…and with shortwave, that really happens best in the evening hours when shortwave travels farther.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great
*by J***H on October 26, 2025*

Was a little smaller then I expected but it worked great, batteries lasted a whole 3 day weekend and still show they are full. My only complaint would be the buttons are so small I had to put on reading glasses to see the print
