Powerful FM, very sensitive receiver and can select FM mono and Stereo. Can hear signal reflection in strong South West country western stations ~80mi away as the crow flies, so well suited to Rural users and uncrowded regions. Haven't test AM much but it outperformed Grundig G6 "Buzz edition" inductively coupled to AM loop antenna in daytime test. CCradio EP testing was with stock FM whip and internal AM ferrite bar antennas respectively. I can't say if this is the best for portable FM, CCrane sensitivity specs this with 5 uV (microVolt). With Analog tuning and fading in/out characteristics with distant listening I would be excited if the EP would have a DSP button for additional "tuning." I see existance of a DSP chip with 0.66µV FM sensitivity back in 2012 (Silicon Labs Si477x series) and don't know what the deal is with Portable Radio development (writing this in early 2017).Read full review

I loved the lighted display,very helpful. I thought the fine tuning feature is more of a gimmicky nuisance than actually helpful in any meaningful way.The AM/FM reception is good but not up to a serious DX'ing level. I am somewhat disappointed in the richness of the sound quality, it's not quite up there with the GE Superadio III. This radio is a descent choice for casual listening.

I am not an expert on radio reception so I can only give you my impression. This radio exceeded my expectations. I wanted a radio with good AM reception, because I was tired of putting up with the noisy static in my radio reception. This radio has such good AM reception that I can record music off of it. I hear no interference or static at all. I bought another one a gift. I spent some time checking blogs for comments by radio hobbyist. I agree with them that there is no better radio in this price range.

Bought to get reception of a distant A M radio station. Not only am I receiving my favorite station, but a whole new world of radio stations. Excited by the performance of this radio, enhanced by the excellent audio output.

This model -C Crane EP, is no longer made or widely available, so I was pleased to find this. It is a very good, basic no frills radio, which suits my needs.
