Yeah they are, I know of the analogue set, that's fine to use though I'm
not sure about the digital sets but yep! a great choice for a tabletop
radio.

Ah yep, I'd heard about these, is it only their analogue set which is
usable or can we use the whole range.

Yep exactly so c compremises have to be made, where you can test
before you buy or take a good recommendation.
All radios have advantages and disadvantages, some have excellent
audio but are very deaf, others are very sensitive but have a very
narrow band thus are only really good for listening to speech
whilst others such as the Sangean tabletop range, CC SW etc are
quite a good compremise.

Hi, All,
There is often a price to pay for radio sensitivity. Extreme
sensitivity comes at the expense of dynamic range.
Better head room can sometimes be gained by higher voltage on the
first RF stage. Better FETS also improve the dynamic range.

Dane and Rich,
Thank you for your advice. Dane, if I came across as though I
was questioning the overload of the single-conversion unit,
please know that was not my
intention. I was just trying to explain why I was surprised that
was the case. If that wasn't clear, I apologize.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Yep, there are some really good radios around but the trouble is
its always difficult to find a good one, you not only want
something which is good and
sensitive but something which is selective.
For example the CC Observer radio is extremely sensitive but not
very selective so if you're trying to receive a weak station
beside a strong one then you
may have trouble with the strong station leaking over the weaker
one making it inaudible.
As I said earlier you do get what you pay for often and the
sangean sets are a case in point, I spoke about the wooden
cabinet tabletop radios that
company makes, they actually build or built radios for CCrane, I
think they built the CCrane, CC+ and CC II.
You spoke of battery life? That's one very good point about the
CC EP, it will run for 350 hours on a set of 4 d size batteries,
not bad at all!

have used it for years and it
is surprisingly sensitive with decent selectivity. It also seems
to run forever on the two AA batteries.

Dane,
I just wouldn't expect this to be a problem with a
double-tuned loop. It has been pretty common for medium wave
radios to only have single
conversion
even when the short wave bands have double conversion. If the
loop tunes too broadly, a strong medium wave station can
theoretically overload
even
the front end of a dual conversion radio. Some of the older
Sony's suffered from this, for example. Therefore, I'm
disappointed to here this is the
case.
Does anyone have recommendations for a sensitive AM and FM
pocket radio? I've been really frustrated with how pocket
radios seem to overload
badly
on FM in high-level input areas. I have a Grundig Yachtboy
which I like, but it is a little bigger than I want to carry
around and I just don't listen to
shortwave much any more.

Hi!
Since the CC EP radio got a mention in a roundabout way I'd
like to say a few words regard this set.
Yep, its very sensitive no doubt about that but it does have
some problems and this is understandable given the price,
after all $70.00 is a very small
price to pay for a radio.
If you're living near a very strong medium wave transmitter
as I do then it may be that your CC EP won't perform at its
best due to interference from
that
transmitter, this I'm told is due to the "Single Conversion"
circuitry used in the CC EP.
To Illustrate the point, suppose you're tuning through the
medium wave band, you think you're hearing signals from far
away when actually you're
hearing
what appear to be ghosts or shadows of the local high powered
transmitter instead.
The Solution? Well there are several you can try, the most
obvious is to spend say $50.00 more and purchase the CC SW
which has a Dual
Conversion
circuit and you notice the difference straight away. The CC
SW is not perhaps exactly as sensitive as the CC EP but its
far more selective for one
thing
and you certainly don't get the ghosting or shadowing I spoke
about for another, I've several CC Radios and I reckon the CC
SW would have to be
the
best CC Radio set I own.
I reviewed the CCSW on Blind Cool Tech a little while ago so
you'll find the review there.
Blind Cool Tech also has a review of the CC EP from last year
and I've just done a review of the CC II radio which is more
sensitive than the CC EP
however it suffers from the same problems due to its single
conversion receiving circuit, this review is still awaiting
approval to the blind cool tech site.

I am looking to find an A M F M table radio which doesn't

care whether it is PLL or analog, I doubt that much analog
stuff is
being manufactured. Obviously, for a bit more than $100, I
am not going
to find a great radio. But please tell me what gives the
best bang for
the buck.
Incidentally, the unit does not need to play COULDs or have
audio inputs.
Thanks for ideas.
