About the CCRadio2

Thank you for purchasing a CCRadio2. The CCRadio2 has many of the refinements and improvements requested by customers who have bought other CCRadios. The CCRadio2 is built for the highest perfor- mance ever on AM and has been designed to be long lasting.

Youʼll notice that we removed the television (TV) band from the radio. This change was necessary because of the new government mandated digital format set for February of 2009. We have replaced the TV band with the 2-Meter VHF Ham band. For many radio listeners the addition of the 2-Meter VHF Ham band will be their first experience with amateur (ham) radio. I hope you have the time to explore this band. What youʼll hear is a lot of dedicated radio people using a communication device with pride. You will especially want to tune in to 2-Meter VHF during a local, area-wide emergency when communications will be very different. When the power in an area is down, and cell phones and other modes of communication are unavailable, many hams use portable equipment that lets them work as beacons of information. They have direct com- munication with federal agencies and the Red Cross. We recommend that you find out which local 2-Meter frequencies are used during an emergency in your area and have them installed into the five memory locations.

We hope the CCRadio2 will give you many years of learning, news and entertainment. If you have any questions about your radio, please give

us a call or check out. You can find many questions
