Sports reviews of C. Crane CC Observer Wind Up Radio
Customer Review: weather channel reception is poor
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I had already bought 2 of the Midland crank radios and was happy with them, except the rechargeable battery is small and one failed already after a month. (probably should not have left the adapter plugged in? anyway I wanted another similar radio and gave this one a try. In my house the Crane radio would not pick up any of the weather channels no matter which way I oriented the radio, while the Midland radios pick up several weather stations. So I returned the Crane unit. Also, the Crane radio does not come with an AC adapter charger. For just an AM/FM radio I guess it would be fine and the crank charger seemed to work well (battery arrived flat, but after a minute of winding the radio played.) Anyway, the weatherband is very important to me, so back it went. Thanks again Amazon for an excellent return policy.
Description of C. Crane CC Observer Wind Up Radio
Yup it looks familiar. The CC Observer is a wind-up emergency radio that makes no bones about outperforming a distant cousin. You might notice that we did a few things differently. For one thing, we tinkered with the AM for better reception, and then we put the LED flashlight on the side of the radio instead of the front. That way, when you turn it on the light doesn?t shine in your face, and when you carry it, you can use the flashlight to light your way while holding it in a more natural position. You can run the CC Observer off the built-in rechargeable batteries or you can go with 3 "AA" alkaline batteries (not included) if you prefer. Of course, if you don't have alkaline batteries around, just wind-up the radio and keep it running as long as you need. You can even use it to charge a cell phone. In case you're wondering, along with good AM reception, you also get FM and the Weather band which comes in really handy if you're using the radio during a power failure. There's also a stereo headphone jack for private listening. Weight: 1 lb. Size: 7.25" W x 5.5" H x 2" D. We have included cell phone adapters for the most popular, recent model, cell phones so you can charge them with the CC Observer. We are unable to supply adapters for any other models at this time. Certain models, like a Blackberry, can be charged but doing so requires vigorous cranking for a second or two to initialize the charge circuit on the phone. After that initial effort, you can crank it aShortwave
