I got it, Dane, and love it, except for one relatively minor irritant.
Specifically, I dislike the mechanism which mutes the audio for half a
second while tuning. I can live with it but wish I could disable it.
One other thing I wanted to mention is that because it runs on 4 D
cells, it appears that one should use brand new D cells since cells
which aren't fully charged don't power the unit nearly as well as
partially used D cells in my super radio 3. Of course, the super radio
3 uses analog tuning which is also a factor.
Also, if anyone is interested, C. Crane has an audio tutorial produced
by Tim Hendel who does a great job of describing all features and
functions of this radio. It was actually done for the CC2 but which is
still applicable for the enhanced radio. If anyone wants it, I will put
it up on Dropbox for download.

Hi everyone and I sincerely hope you're all having a very good Christmas, -
friends in the states wouldn't have touched their turkey yet but I reckon the
time for present opening is well upon you right? -
Anyhow Christmas in the land of Oz is well and truly over and for those who
were cashed up for Christmas then now is the time to order those presents you
deserve, I'm no exception to that rule having just ordered the CC 2/E radio
from CCrane which I've written about on list and linked to various reviews.
I think one of the members here talked about his Wife giving him this excellent
radio for Christmas, did the member get that wonderful gift and - if so - what
did or does member think?
I can tell you that the quality control of these radios is absolutely first
class and here's the example.
I know someone who ordered one of these radio sets quite some time ago, he has
one for his study and he ordered a second last week for his kitchen, the order
came on Christmas Eve and - although the colours of the radio units are
different - that's the only difference between the 2 radios, both are identical
in performance and quality, that's a great trait for a product to have.
