Three Must-Hear Gadgets for Radio Lovers

The receiver has a huge, collapsible FM/SW whip antenna and C. Crane's hyper-performance Twin-Coil Ferrite AM antenna system inside for superior station pulling power. There are way too many features to describe all of them in detail, but some of my favorites include 50 memories, lots of lighted buttons, clock radio functions with snooze alarm and an IF output for connecting to computers.

The radio can run on AC power or from your choice of four AA or D-cell batteries. If you use rechargeable batteries, the CCRadio-SW will recharge them while they're inside the radio -- a very nice touch.

I've been using the radio for weeks and can tell you that it's one amazing receiver. Not only does it pull in stations from all over the world, but as I said before, it sounds great too.

For $149.95, it's a worldwide radio lover's dream come true.

To compete with XM (XMSR Quote - Cramer on XMSR - Stock Picks) and Sirius (SIRI Quote - Cramer on SIRI - Stock Picks) satellite radio quality (and station quality), U.S. broadcasters are rolling out a new system: HD radio. FM broadcasters use a portion of their frequency to add digital HD channels (up to three per station) 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Stations usually use one digital channel to simulcast their analog programming and use a second (or third) for other music/information streams.
