Hi list, I don't have any experience with that radio, but I 
recently bought the CC radio II  from C.  Crane and while the Am, 
Fm, and Weather bands are fine, the two meter ham band is not 
very impressive.  It is not very sensitive and the squelch is 
very slow reacting.  I do like the presets and sound quality, and 
the radio also has a line in and line out so you can plug in a VR 
Stream or other portable device to hear your books Jim WA6EKS

months ago.
