Hi Walt,
You talk about radios from C Crane, well, my husband has one for emergency
use, and it doesn't look like anything much, but it works quite well.
It has a crank on the back that you can use the radio up to an hour, a
solar panel on top, or you can recharge the bateries with an adapter, or
just run it off the atapter that you charge it with pluged in. It has a six
foot coard with a real bright light on it that fits into the side of it.
Now, that is a good radio, because it is just plain to look old fashian.
As far as shortwave radios go, I think Radio Shack has the best radios for
the price. I look for the sails. He has two of them. ONe is around 10 years
old, and the other is just three years old.
That's my two sence about radios.
Are the Bose radios any good?
