## Description

Product description C. Crane SSB2 – The Ultimate Travel and Emergency Radio The Swiss Army Knife of Portable Radios 400 Memory Presets Lighted LCD Display Direct Entry Keypad 1, 9, and 10kHz tuning Clock with 12/24 hour format Runs on (2) AA Alkaline batteries (not included) Stereo Headphone Jack Fold-out back stand C. Crane CC Skywave SSB 2 With AM, FM, Shortwave, NOAA Weather and Alert, Scannable VHF Aviation Band and Single Side Band Included: CC Wire Terminal Antenna Adapter for shortwave (2-wire to mono plug) and a portable 23’ CC Shortwave Reel Antenna U.S. Patent #D 863,251 S What is Single Side Band (SSB)? Single Sideband is a comparatively unknown, interesting, and important radio format that takes a special radio for listening and a little time to learn. It is an efficient and reliable way to get long range information when Internet, phone or satellite is not available. You can listen to FEMA, long range aviation, ships at sea (think Coast Guard), space (possibly even spy transmissions) and other worldwide communication. Single Side Band is not available on your smartphone which makes the CC Skywave SSB 2 the ultimate off-the-grid backup communication system. The Skywave SSB 2 has wide and accurate band coverage in a small size making it an excellent travel and emergency radio. Single Side Band is a reliable way to get long-range information after an earthquake or hurricane when normal communications are down. The SSB tuning is accurate to 10 Hertz resolution. It also covers civilian aviation VHF with 10 aviation memories that can continuously scan for activity. It also covers AM/FM and Weather with Alert. The Skywave SSB 2 has a shortwave antenna jack which can significantly improve SW reception when used with an external antenna. It also has a micro-USB connector for using any USB charging adapter. The in-circuit battery charging has been improved for optional “AA” NiMH rechargeable batteries. We’ve listened and upgraded to a higher quality speaker along with slightly more audio amplification. Longer feet have been added on the bottom of the radio for better stability. Designed for the discerning group of radio enthusiasts who want more from a radio. Single Side Band is an efficient and reliable way to get long-range information when Internet, phone, or satellite is not available. You can listen to FEMA, long-range aviation, ships at sea (think Coast Guard), space (possibly even spy transmissions), and other worldwide communication. Single Side Band is not available on your smartphone which makes it the ultimate off-the-grid backup communication system.

Review: Nice! - Nicely made; a great radio with many functions in a small package. Reception is great, and I appreciate that it includes an additional antenna that rolls up when not in use.
Review: Compact multi-band Radio - Nice little radio with good reception and sound. Have not explored the shortwave aspect as of yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice!
*by F***7 on March 31, 2026*

Nicely made; a great radio with many functions in a small package. Reception is great, and I appreciate that it includes an additional antenna that rolls up when not in use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact multi-band Radio
*by K***G on January 8, 2026*

Nice little radio with good reception and sound. Have not explored the shortwave aspect as of yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the cost
*by G***D on October 11, 2025*

This is a solid, well built, light weight radio. Have only tested AM/FM/Air/WX bands so far and it works well on all four. The sound quality from the small speaker is better than anticipated. Need to better understand how the SW/SSB works on this radio before commenting. The included instruction booklet is better than expected and is also available online from C Crane. Included accessories makes this package complete, nothing else needed. Compared to other comparable radios in this class, I think this was the best buy for my needs/wants!
