Good Evening Tom,

I've had a chance to play with the cc radio and I was not impressed.  The
best am/fm radio that I have ever owned or used is the GE super radio 2.  It
is no longer being manufactured, but if you can find one, don't pass it up.
I have never seen a more sensitive or sellective portable
AM radio anywhere.

Hello, all.

This is my first inquiry to the blind-hams group, and I hope my question =
is appropriate.

Does anyone know where I can get a good (i.e. highly-selective, and =
highly-sensitive) portable AM/FM radio that would be easy for me as a =
blind person to use?  It doesn't have to be stereo--mono would be fine.  =
I would like for it to be able to run on either batteries or AC power. =20

I live in a rural area in Michigan, and want to have a good am/fm radio =
to use to pick up distant stations.  Plus, like others, I love to do DX =
listening at times as well on the AM and FM bands.  My preferred price =
range would be no more than $100 or $150 if possible.

I have heard of CC radios, and wonder if they are any good.

Thanks much, and best 73 from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ, Big Rapids, MI, USA
