Hi Thomas,
I was just on HRO’s website and noted that they have the C Crane SkyWave on sale for $119.99 until 1/2/2023. https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-016072 That’s a great price! I am fairly sure I paid $170 for mine which I purchased 5 years ago.
73 & Merry Christmas,
Jack
Thank you for the tip, Jack! That’s an excellent price on the Skywave SSB. My guess is they’re selling of this original version (Version 1) of the Skywave SSB to make room for the new Skywave SSB 2.

That is a good deal. I just noticed the SSB 2 is $150 on Crane’s website ($20 less than originally priced), so I just ordered that instead.
