According to the information at www.ccrane.com the radio is supposed to record FM and AM broadcasts in MP3 format, you're apparently able to set the bit rate. The radio also sports a line in and microphone jack. The CCrane Witness is charged from a USB port on your computer, when its connected you can copy the files from the radio to your computer for storage etc. The radio has some programmable timers but I expect that we won't be able to use those.

Re: CCrane Witness Radio
Not sure. Just going by the manual that's out there. C. Crane is actually quite responsive so they might consider upgrading it if enough people bug them about it.

List Problems May Be Resolved
Within about the last sixteen to eighteen hours I've received 275 messages saying a member's subscription has been disabled due to excessive bounces. I've been in contact with the webmaster and he thinks he has resolved the problem. Unfortunately messages that did not post to the list are gone. If your message did not appear on the list, feel free to post it again. I have reset the bounce flag on all 275 messages but if anyone has problems receiving or sending messages please let me know. Sorry for the trouble. Tom To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: List Problems May Be Resolved
Tom, The same happened to me on the Blindtech list. Gmail has been quite reliable, so the allegation of accessive bouncing comes as quite a surprise to me.

Re: CCrane Witness Radio
Well the point about it all is that the radio can be updated, says so in the specs I read on it so - if the radio does prove impossible to use - then perhaps some updates can be applied in the future? I've decided to take the plunge and order the radio anyway, see how far I get with it. After all! you can only try and I'm not one of those blind people who just sit and whine about how unusable everything is, even if I can only use the radio then having a rechargable radio will be a God Send, its on special at the moment and if the real worst comes to the real worst? Well I'm sure I'll find someone who can use it smile.

Re: CCrane Witness Radio
I'dd be curious to see how it goes for you. I just bought the EP myself so don't really have a need for it right now or I'd try it also. Actually my house is kinda overrun with radios already!

Re: CCrane Witness Radio
Yep points taken and I'm nodding my head in both agreement and sympathy smile but I have to admit that it would be nice to have a Stand-alone radio recorder separate from computers and so on so the Witness may be the way to go? Well we'll wait and see. my faithful Panasonic RXED-50 has finally started to show its age of 10 years and I can't get another one as Panasonic just recently - and finally! - discontinued the model so I have to look for alternatives.
