Unpacking
Introduction
The CC Pocket radio uses the latest in digital chip technology along with our
own techniques developed at C. Crane. It is able to bring in a weak FM station
better than perhaps any other pocket radio. The button layout is easy to
understand for basic use. It is different than other radios because some of the
features can be changed by reading the manual and using multiple button
presses to change them.
On AM, overload from a strong local station has been a problem since the dawn
of radio. The CC Pocket may be able to shut out the offending station perhaps
like no other radio you have owned.
If you have any question about your radio, please give us a call or check out
