An extraordinary radio effectively worth the amount. Surely lives up to the status of Flagship.
I bought this radio for AM and FM DXing after reading a review on it at "www.radiojayallen.com". I absolutely love it. To me. this is the new Superadio! The audio is excellent with plenty of bass and treble on tap so you don't always have to have the bass and treble controls maxed out. This is one of the few radios I own that picks up all my local FM stations with zero static, despite (or maybe because of) the shorty whip. The MW DX is superb as well, and I have had some astonishing daytime DX receptions.What is not mentioned in the reviews, or shown clearly in the photos, is the way the radio flares out at the base. The 2 rows of D cell batteries, instead of being placed one row on top of the other up/down, has the batteries instead side by side at the bottom of the radio. This results in the base being extended out the width of a D cell from the top and middle of the radio. I really like the looks of the radio this way. Also, it provides a considerable amount of stability to the radio such that it is almost impossible to accidentally tip it over. The overall construction is very solid and high quality; there is nothing that feels cheap, or screams "crap" at you when you hold the radio.Another feature not advertised is that this radio is capable of self-alignment. It is shown in the manual under the trouble shooting section for the question as to what to do if there is a drop in volume when tuning in a station. To realign the radio, when tuned to any AM station, press and hold the "Display Clock and Frequency" button until the weather alert LED starts flashing (top left on front of radio). At this point, release the "Display Clock and Frequency" button, then give it a short press. Leave the radio alone while it auto aligns. mine takes about 5 minutes to do. You are always assured of razor sharp alignment with this feature, no matter how old the radio.While I do not listen to the 2 meter ham band, the weather channels are a welcome addition.This has turned out to be my favorite radio in a very short time. It is well worth the price.

Solid Contender for Best of Breed
After 2 months I remain pleased with my purchase of the C Crane 2E clock radio. Sound was an important consideration for me. No surprise, it does not sound as good as my big, fancy hi-fi system. However, it sounds good for its ilk (mono) through its built-in speaker, and it sounds quite a bit better (exellent stereo!) through decent in-ear monitors, including my very affordable (aka, cheap..) Panasonic ErgoFits. It sounds much better than the little Kaito KA-1107 (RIP) it replaced, and it sounds better than a Sangean RCR-40 that I bought and then sent back because its menu functions went haywire soon after I got it up and running. Bottom line, the 2E's sound is good enough to allow me to listen past the radio, itself, to the program.The main thing I wanted from this radio was FM, particularly for listening to jazz and classical music at night via IEMs, and I am very happy using it for this, also cranking up the volume and listening via the (single, large-ish) speaker while I work at my desk. I also use and appreciate the radio alarm-clock functions. Again, for me, the clean, very selective FM reception is the main thing, and the top quality AM and the sensitive shortwave reception are bonuses.I've owned (and still own) a number of radios purchased over the decades. This is a substantial, solidly built radio. All the controls and functions work well, and they are easy to learn. The booklet that comes with the radio told me everything I've needed to know about the C Crane 2E radio. Happy Camper here!Update, 09-14-2025: Three years in and I like this radio even more. I gambled on Sennheiser HD650 headphones, and it is definitely worthy in terms of sound quality, with the excellent tone controls making for a "perfect curve"; very nice, indeed. All buttons and user interface functions are substantial and easy - intuitive - in use.

Indestructible Radio
Bought one of these 20 years ago for my mom. She used it constantly for many years until she passed away. Great sound. I have had it sitting outside on my deck for years now thru rain and snow and hail. Still sounds great. Digital screen is gone and the volume control scratchy while adjusting volume. I am amazed at the durability of this radio.
