Though not a shortwave radio (the SWLing Post loves ALL radios!), C. Crane’s latest special involves free Priority Mail shipping to U.S. customers for their CC Pocket Radio. Just use the Promo Code: CCPKTSHIP. This special ends at midnight PST on 17 December. The CC Pocket Radio comes standard with the CC Buds earphones – a quality set of earbuds.
Crane’s Amazon Canada store offers free shipping with a number of C. Crane products through Amazon Canada Prime.

Through 11:59 P.M. on 12/13/17, C. Crane is offering 50% off their popular SoftSpeaker & SoftSpeaker2. These are “pillow speakers” with soft, washable covers – great for listening while drifting off to sleep.
For the SoftSpeaker, use this promotional code: PS17
For the SoftSpeaker2, use this promotional code: SSV17
I must admit, I don’t own either but I’ve often thought about purchasing version 2 because it has in-line volume control. This would be a great time to try them!

Anon-Co has just placed the Degen 1128 on “special offer” for $46.99 plus $9 shipping to the U.S.
The Degen 1128 is – or was – the Grundig G2 Reporter. Dave (N9EWO) conducted a great review of the Grundig G2, Degen 1128 & the Degen 1128H. The G2 had its issues, but the 1128H version is an improved version though still with some quirks. Dave (N9EWO) only recommends the 1128H version and Anon-Co doesn’t specifically state that their listing is the updated/improved 1128H though their product photo clearly shows “1128” without the H on the radio. Could this be an old stock photo or a 100% true representation?
If anyone is interested, I’d recommend they first read Dave’s review page – and if potential buyers are still interested – they should contact Anon-Co & ask them to confirm if this is the 1128 or 1128H. I noticed a few months ago the 1128H was priced $88-$95 direct from China to the USA via Internet retailers & the current delivered eBay price China to the USA is $75. If the Anon-Co listing is for the 1128H, $55.99 delivered is a good price – though to repeat, confirm with Anon-Co before placing an order.

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Troy Riedel, who notes that C. Crane has developed an enhanced version of the original CCRadio-EP AM/FM portable.
C. Crane includes the following description on their website:
The new CC Radio-EP PRO is an enhanced version of the original EP. It has the same simple controls and the same high performance with superior selectivity and sensitivity. The portable CCRadio-EP PRO could be considered a super radio; built for ease of use and outstanding long-range AM with our C. Crane patented Twin Coil Ferrite® AM Antenna. FM performance is excellent.
Great for listening to Talk Radio, NPR®, Music, and Sports. The EP PRO has a wide bass and treble adjustment range for defined music and accurate and lively voice reproduction.
A large, 5-inch speaker is combined with a hi-fidelity amplifier and a “Wide/Narrow” enhancement dial to give extra clarity to AM programs. The dial accuracy of the new EP PRO is superior to our original model. Weight: 3.1 lbs. (without batteries). Size: 11.4″ W x 7.3″ H x 2.75″ D. Runs on four optional “D” batteries (not included). AC adapter is included.
C.Crane lists a shipping date of March 30, 2018 or after.
Since I receive so many questions about affordable radios for mediumwave DXing, I’ll certainly review the CCRadio-EP Pro when it’s available. I look forward to evaluating out a radio with such simple controls!
