Thank you for another amazing video 🙂..I got so excited to see the BT edition. However I've been holding off from buying this radio because of the micro USB charging 🫤. I know it's alittle thing but when everyone is switching to type C its just enough of a dealbreaker for me. I will just have to keep watching your videos in hopes of seeing a new review and release of this radio finally switching to type C 😀 and then I will jump to buy one....again thank you so much for your informative videos 🙂

[@onedirection3510]

Couldn’t agree more! The upgrade or next gen priority should definitely be USB-C charging. Come on C Crane! 😅

[@todderbert]

@@onedirection3510 They made the major leap from mini to micro on the Skywave models :)

[@cfldriven]

Since they included the micro USB charging cable it wasn't an issue for me.

Hi Todderbert, thanks for the review. The new CCrane CC radio solar, now with Bluetooth, is very nice. But I agree with others here that it's a bit of a shame that this new version isn't upgraded with a USB-C jack. It should have been, considering what this radio costs. But apart from that, this seems to be a very nice radio, and I don't have the original CCrane solar radio either. So yes, I would love to have this radio. Take care Todderbert and have a lovely evening.

I subscribed to your channel today, sir. It a pleasure to have found you on KZbin. This is Dinesh from Gurgaon, a city in India near New Delhi.

Geez Louise! I’ve been struggling for a week about which type of radio I want to buy. This one checks off nearly all of the boxes. Wish the Pocket Crane gets updated with BT too. Out in rural Alaska, it’d be nice to hear saved podcasts out on the trails.

[@todderbert]

I use a Prunus J-328 pocket radio for my Old Time Radio Shows. It plays them nice and strong, so I can wear it in my vest pocket while it is playing, and I don't need to wear headphones. Once in a while I have to reach in to turn it down when another person is passing by.

[@nolansub]

Waiting for this one to appear on the Amazon store

[@todderbert]

Hopefully soon.

[@Justinkekosz]

Great job on the Video. Looks like ill have to wait for Amazon to catch up in Canada. Also 209 bucks is really steep cost.

[@todderbert]

Hopefully soon, I thought C.Crane was good with Canada on pricing.

[@DineshKumar-rx1tj]

Thanks for reviewing radios sir. This is something only you do on KZbin. May you please suggest three radios which, according to you, have best AM receptions?

[@onedirection3510]

Bluetooth is definitely an advantage because it can charge a phone or flashlight or other small items. However, considering that it is an emergency radio, it would make sense to have the most currently ubiquitous charging capabilities namely USB-C. 🤷‍♂️

[@todderbert]

Most emergency radios don't feature USB-C output yet. Would be nice to see in this generation.

[@TheRolyPoly]

@@todderbert Most... but the Sangean MMR-99 *DOES*. Still have it, still love it.

[@NateB1976]

Cool video and nice review. You have to help me out. That first song you played on Bluetooth is something I use to have long ago but I can’t remember exactly who it is. What band/song is it? Almost sounds like Down, Fudge Tunnel, Sleep or something.

[@DrMindControl1]

Thanks for another great video.😢 was wondering if you can use Bluetooth headphones to listen to the radio?

[@todderbert]

Not this radio, but there a few that have just come to market from other companies such as Prunus.

[@paul.steckler]

The Sangean MMR-99 also has Bluetooth, and street price is around the same.

[@todderbert]

Sangean makes a great radio, they just need to figure out that most people want an easily replaced battery. Viewers will agree that having a Dry Battery Bay Option is also a wise choice.

[@jeffreyhickman3871]

How much is this radio? The only thing about rubber cased radios, is that the rubber starts to deteriorate as the radio 📻 ages. Your friend, Jeff.

[@bessermt]

Let me know when this has a type C USB

[@todderbert]

Keep watching, C.Crane has a few things in the works.

[@PestoDiBasilico]

Does Bluetooth work when using AA batteries? I didn't have time to watch the whole video.

[@todderbert]

I actually didn't check this, but I would say to use the AAs for radio use only. BT takes a bit of extra energy to run on most radios, and most companies say to use the lithium battery if they included a dry battery bay as well.

[@racinchef]

What’s your mp3 player?

[@todderbert]

an old sony 4GB model, tiny thing with a failing battery.

[@mayandimayandi5554]

IS THIS RADIO WORK IN TAMILNADU? WHAT COST ?

[@todderbert]

Probably, but not sure of cost. You can look them up and email them directly.

[@isabelcummings6517]

Did not show how to disable or set alarm

[@gamoya12]

How do you see the chinese radios

[@todderbert]

When designed, and overseen by an American Company, not bad at all.

[@cfldriven]

They are the dominant makers and innovators of radios. Brands like Tecsun, XHData, Sangean, Sihuadon and Qodosen make fantastic products.

[@moonrunner8791]

Not being type c is a pass for me dawg

[@todderbert]

Bummer Dude. Totally agree on the type c, it is a missed opportunity. I believe it will get a revision with it though.

[@moonrunner8791]

@@todderbert hope so! Keep up the great work!
