Hello Dane where can you get this radio or look at this radio in the
united states?
Is this something you would have to order from Ccrane?
I know that C crane just put out A new radio A hand held with A.m and
F.m and weather band.
It was something like 59.00 or about that price.
It is a hand held radio.
So take a look about that one on there site encase you haven't already
seen it.
Here I will post the e-mail that I have gotten.
Witch talks more about this radio.

Casey,
We are very excited to announce the arrival of our newest radio, the
CC Pocket Radio w/ AM, FM and Weather
. This radio is very easy to use and has some of the best overall
performance for
a pocket radio.
I know that doesn't give you much to go on.
But hear you are non the less.
So with that I will get out have hear and thanks for telling us about
this radio.

This radio has been seen in stores for below $45.00, at that price its an
absolute bargain so get the radio whilst you can.
Nothing fancy about this little beauty, it receives AM and FM well and sounds
as good as the price does.
The PDR6 is a very small portable with a 3 inch speaker which delivers an
incredibly rich and clear sound for a radio of its size.
The radio has bass and treble controls to customise the sound even further to
your liking though I found listening to a variety of material including music
and sport to be very enjoyable with both bass and treble controls set to flat.
The bass and treble have detents in the middle of their travel so setting these controls
to flat is no "Hit and Miss" exercise.
Volume, Bass and Treble controls have that lovely "Thick Drag" type feel to
them.
The Bass and Treble controls will require a little force to adjust as these
controls look like small discs nearly flush to the left-hand side of the radio
so you'll need two fingers to make an adjustment most likely.
There's only 2 other controls, the tuning knob and the power on/off/Fm/AM
selector.
Sensitivity and selectivity of this radio are reasonable and I found no
overloading on the AM or FM bands.
The Tuning knob offers a little springy resistance when turned but I don't mind this, I
found it easier with this sort of feel to "Fine Tune" signals.
For the FM antenna Sangean have included a screw on "Rubber Ducky" type antenna
and I have wondered why other manufacturers haven't warmed to this idea before now,
removing the antenna means that you have a very compact radio unit indeed and why have
the antenna attached at all if you're just enjoying AM broadcasts.
The PRD6 runs on 4 AA batteries or a 6 volt power adapter which came supplied
with my model, the speaker has a power rating of 1 watt so I should think that
this radio should provide you with a good 20 hours of continuous quality
listening with a set of Alkaline batteries.
The headphone output is stereo for FM broadcasts but unfortunately there's no
stereo/mono switch, probably a mute point I guess but the stereo/mono switch is
dead handy for pulling in those weak FM signals.
The PDR6 is all about value, good build and displaying great attributes of a
good radio for a most reasonable price.
People have asked me which I prefer, the CC EP Analogue tuning radio or the
Sangean PRD6 reviewed here, I'd take the PRD6 any time.
Yes, the CC EP is more sensitive without a doubt but build quality is
absolutely shocking, I've had 2 of CC EP radios and they just don't last. The
PRD6 is sensitive and selective enough for most situations and at nearly half
the price of a CC EP radio but the sound of the PRD6 sells it.
