Hi, Gary. I believe Bob Crane is the company's owner. He's certainly the
spokesperson. The guy who produces the cassettes is named Tim and, last I
heard, he lived in Alabama, though his accent was hardly from there. His
last name still escapes me.
Tom, list owner, I'm surely testing your patience, so I'll stop here!

I seem to think the guy who does the cassettes for C Crane is Bob.
I live in a valley here, and it doesn't matter what radio you have,
reception stinks, whether it be the Sangean ATS909, 918 or the Sony ICF-236,
whatever.
for the most part, C Crane sells the best of the best, so whom ever can't go
wrong whith whatever radio they buy.

A nice consideration about Pam's C Crane/Sangean 909 suggestion is that C
Crane provides cassette directions for many of its products, probably
including the 909. You must request it, but the cassette is free. I know C
Crane sells Sangean products. I don't believe they offer the other brands
you mention here, and they certainly don't promote them the way they do
Sangean. The man who does these cassettes does an excellent job, and I'm
sorry that his name escapes me as I write.
Since you rightly bring up price, it is worth subscribing to C Crane's email
notifications because they have periodic sales and also sell what they call
"orphans" at a discount.
No, I'm not an employee. I'm just a very satisfied customer. Sadly for me,
no shortwave radio works well here in my section of Brooklyn. I've tried a
couple of C Crane's shortwave radios, but have had to return them for the
full refund they promise within thirty days.

the ATS909 radio is made by Sangean actually, and I don't know for sure if
they make that model any more.
you can look at Sony and Kaido models too, which are more affordable and
work just as well.
