I have a Sony SW7600G, so I'm covered in the portable area, but if I'm looking for a nice, larger radio with great AM/FM, bass/treble controls, and an aux input, would you suggest the CCRadio 2 over anything else (under $150)? Thanks!
My reply:
I'd go with the C.Crane CCRadio-SW, which costs about $120. I much prefer it to my CCR-2. Anyone out there with some feedback?
Inside the CCRadio-EP:

Bruce Carter (the author) wrote some very positive first impressions of the radio's AM performance to the FM tuners e-mail list.

I agree with Jeff. I love my CCrane SW even though it is a rebranded Redsun RP2100!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the CC Radio SW has an auxilliary input, which was one of his requirements. I have the Redsun, which definately does't have an aux-in.
So, if he's wllling to go with analog tuning, I guess the CC Radio EP is the all around best bet. If digital tuning is a requirement, the Grundig S450 DL would probably be the best bet. It does have an aux-in, as does the CC Radio EP.

Corret, the CCrane-SW does not have an auxiliary input.
