Universal Radio president, Fred Osterman talking with Rob Sherwood of Sherwood Engineering

Universal Radio is the only radio dealer that has been to every Dayton Hamvention since its inception.  They always bring a large selection of portable and tabletop shortwave receivers. If you attend a Dayton Hamvention in the future, make sure you visit Universal in the East Hall. Even as I type this, inside vendors are closing their booths, yet Universal Radio is still serving a steady stream of customers.

C.Crane at the Dayton Hamvention

1 Reply

As I walk around the Dayton Hamvention, I’m finding a lot of familiar faces from the shortwave radio community. In the North Hall, I came across non other than Bob Crane with C.Crane Radio. We had a nice chat about their CCradio SW–one of my favorites for simplicity of operation and excellent audio fidelity.

The Bonito 1102S RadioJet - Click to Enlarge

Universal Radio has published the price of the Bonito 1102S RadioJet at $699.95 US and they are taking orders.

Universal’s price is  $300 less than that of the Microtelecom Perseus ($999.95 US) and the $200 less than the WinRadio Excalibur ($899.95 US).

After reading Fernando’s review of the RadioJet–where he compared it to the Perseus–this may be one of the best SDR performers for the price. We will be reviewing the Bonito 1102S RadioJet in the near future as well.

The Grundig G2 Reporter is now shipping from Universal Radio. The price is $149.95.

It’s worth noting that Universal has a lot of images of the radio, including photos of the box and contents.

I’ll post reviews of the G2 in the SW Radio Index as they become available. Have a G2 already? Please share your impressions.

C.Crane “orphan” shortwave radios on sale

Leave a reply

The CCRadio-SW is one of our favorite portables for excellent audio fidelity and ease of use.

I received notification that C. Crane is selling some of their “orphan” radios at excellent discounts while supplies last.

Out of their shortwave selection, they are selling the CCRadio-SW (a radio we love) for $99.95 and the ultra-portable CCRadio-SWP (review here) for $34.95.

Click here to see all of the orphan deals.

What are C.Crane orphan radios? Orphan radios are simply customer returns or demo units that have been tested and cleaned.  Orphan items come with a 60-day money back guarantee and are limited to stock on hand. Prices on these are good through 02/28/12.

NOTE: C. Crane is an excellent radio retailer and I would not hesitate to order an “orphan” product from them!
