About the CCRadio 2
Thank you for purchasing a CCRadio 2. The CCRadio 2 has many of the
refinements and improvements requested by customers who have
bought other CCRadios. The CCRadio 2 is built for the highest perfor-
mance ever on AM and has been designed to be long lasting.
Youʼll notice that we removed the television (TV) band from the radio.
This change was necessary because of the new government mandated
digital format set for February of 2009. We have replaced the TV band
with the 2-Meter VHF Ham band. For many radio listeners the addition
of the 2-Meter VHF Ham band will be their first experience with amateur
(ham) radio. I hope you have the time to explore this band. What youʼll
hear is a lot of dedicated radio people using a communication device
with pride. You will especially want to tune in to 2-Meter VHF during a
local, area-wide emergency when communications will be very different.
When the power in an area is down, and cell phones and other modes
of communication are unavailable, many hams use portable equipment
that lets them work as beacons of information. They have direct com-
munication with federal agencies and the Red Cross. We recommend
that you find out which local 2-Meter frequencies are used during an
emergency in your area and have them installed into the five memory
locations.
We hope the CCRadio 2 will give you many years of learning, news and
entertainment. If you have any questions about your radio, please give
us a call or check out ccradio.com. You can find many questions
answered at ccradio.com/faqs/ccradio2
Thanks!
From all of us at C. Crane
