Does what I desired it to do.
I have no complaints about this radio.I live in the San Francisco Bay Area where there are about 70 radio stations (AM and FM) scattered throughout nine counties. Being located about half-way between San Francisco and San Jose I receive signals from both cities about equally.Nice tunability with both FM and AM reception. It picks up and locks in on a few of the low power (college / non-profit) stations in the area pretty well.Getting good reception on the SW band as well. Don't even need the 15 dollar extra external antenna in this area. Although it might be interesting to see the difference it would make.I get 5 of the 7 weather service stations it is pre-programmed with. Works well for me.The bluetooth set-up is really cool with the feature of using 3 of the pre-set buttons as controls for the bluetooth player. Although when I connect my Blueray player to it the "pause/play" button does not function. I can't say I have a complaint about that because it really doesn't bother me.The sound quality is great for a radio of its size. Having the bass and treble adjustments available is just icing on the cake for me.It's a decent little radio.No regrets here.

If I had only one radio...
This would be the one radio I would have if allowed to only have one radio. First, let me mention a couple things I like about the company. One, I like the fact I can go to the C. Crane website and actually order radios and parts from them; no having to mess around with third-party sellers. Second, I like the fact that I got quick responses from C. Crane when i asked them questions.My impressions regarding the radio. I can't speak to lasting quality because I have had this radio two months only. But, i was so impressed with the first one I bought that I bought a second one before the price increased. The radio is easy to use, has best reception (both AM and FM) of any radio I have, especially if I use it with the TERK loop antenna for AM. At night, with the radio sitting on a table in the living room) I am able to get AM stations from Cleveland, Boston, etc (and I am in northern Michigan). For FM the radio brings in two stations I like to listen to but am unable to bring in using other radios. I feel the CC Radio 3 brings in these hard to capture FM stations on a par with Qodosen DX-286.Sound quality is good, especially when taking into consideration this is still a portable radio. Sometimes hard rock/heavy metal songs sound "bunched" or the instrumentation sounds "squished together", but that could be a result of the station or the song's original recording because Jazz sounds very good. Classical sounds very good. Pop sounds very good too. Talk radio is excellent with no "ear fatigue" after listening for several hours. This is my best sounding radio after my Sangean WR-55 tabletop radio.Build quality, although is made of plastic, feels like a "good plastic", not a cheap, brittle feeling plastic. All the buttons on the radio are clearly labelled as to function and easy to figure out even without consulting the manual. Other things I like: the fact the AC power input isn't a wall wart; that I can use battery power if there is a power outage; that I can listen to weather radio (because if there is a power outage, that probably means bad weather). I feel at this point in my purchase, that buying this radio was money well-spent.
