“It looks like the new SW/AM/FM/Air Skywave radio from C.Crane will be delayed according to their website. The new date for release will be October 31st. But, you can reserve yours now to avoid the rush that is sure to come.”
I hope to review this radio shortly after its release. Click here to view the CC Skywave on C.Crane’s website.
I have the Australian version of the CC Skywave Radio called the, “Digitech Audio AR-1733” but without the NOAA Weather Bands. Instead it has Longwave. The AR-1733 also features DSP (Digital Signal Processing) which makes AM (MW) nearly deaf with distance (DX) AM radio stations. It’s only good for strong, local AM stations. The C. Crane Company website mentions nothing about DSP with their new CC Skywave and I’m hope to God, they will leave it out! DSP does nothing but ruin the fun of AM (MW) DX’ing as it robs every bit of sensitivity from what the radio is fully capable of doing.
