[InHam] CCrane's CCRadio-SW

[Paul Webster]

Hi, 

I just read the description, review, & owner coments about CCrane's CCRadio-SW & added it to my wish list @ CCrane.

It sounds like a nice radio & has some very interesting features. 

One thing you can do w/it is bring out the raw signal from the IF to
feed into your computer & decode the different digital modes. 

One of the owners talked about connecting a Satelite receiver output to
the radio's antenna jack & receive all kinds of stuff on the sat
& microwave freqs. 

I hadn't thought of doing that before. 

The radio has a twin ferrite coil AM antenna built in. From what I
read, that helps the AM recieption, as long as the radio isn't inside a
steel reinforced building. 

The reviewer tested the radio in his office building & said that
the radio did much better either w/a enxternal AM antenna or sitting on
the window sile then it did w/the built in AM antenna w/the radio
sitting on his desk. 

The radio doesn't have a BFO for SSB but an owner did mention using an
out board SSB unit pluged into the IF out jack to receive SSB.

This radio is basicaly the CCRadio-Plus w/the TV/WX bands swapped out
for the SW bands & performance is comparable between the 2. 

Go to CCrane & read up on the CCRadio-SW. 

You just might want 1. 

Thanks.
