Fantastic travel shortwave radio receiver
This is a very sophisticated radio in a small package. Pulls in stations from far away, or listen to local air traffic, or HAP channels. There is a learning curve, but they have good online resources.

Caliber item, quality review.
Radio shipment came on time, was packaged well, and met my requirements. The radio is top-of-line and was better than I expected. The seller did an excellent video review on the product. Reception is way above average.

Unmatched frequency coverage in a travel-friendly portable
The C. Crane Skywave SSB 2 is in a class by itself - a small, travel-sized portable that can tune Longwave, Mediumwave (the AM broadcast band), Shortwave (including both the broadcast and SSB bands), FM broadcasts, the VHF airband and NOAA weather stations. It runs on only 2 AA batteries (and can charge NiMH batteries internally). Ergonomics are not wonderful, no surprise for a tiny travel portable, but performance is quite good and the frequency coverage listed above is unmatched in other travel portables.

Portability, VHF air band and ssb capability.
Great and capable little portable radio. Perfect travel companion to keep in touch.
