\"CCrane-CC-Skywave\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> readers, Mark and Alan, who were both recently notified by C.Crane that the CC Skywave<\/a> has been updated.<\/p>\n

Mike purchased the CC Skywave early this year after reading our review.<\/a>\u00a0He was disappointed to find out, though, that a local radio station (in his urban location) overloaded the Skywave’s front end,\u00a0causing\u00a0imaging and other problems.<\/p>\n

Mike, along with other Skywave owners, notified C.Crane about the issue and returned their units.<\/p>\n

C.Crane passed along this feedback to their engineers, who have updated the CC Skywave accordingly. \u00a0C.Crane believes the latest production run will be immune to this sort of overloading. [Kudos to C.Crane for listening to customer feedback.]<\/p>\n

I contacted C.Crane yesterday–they recommend ordering directly from their website<\/a> to insure your unit is coming from the latest production run. It’s possible that some of their distributors could still have some of the older units in inventory for the next few weeks. At least, to be certain, you should check with the distributor directly.<\/p>\n

To be clear, I’ve never noted the overloading issue on my Skywave, but I live in a rural area with no blowtorch stations nearby. If you live near an AM broadcaster, and are considering the CC Skywave, you should certainly purchase the updated unit.<\/p>\n

Again, many thanks to Mike and Alan for the tip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
