We do not recommend using Lithium type batteries due to the higher voltage they produce. Even though the specifications for some lithium batteries state 1.5 volts, they can register up to 1.8 volts when they are fresh. Our products are designed to operate on a very light load.

Better than the knock-offs. Cost more but paying for something that actually works.
Works as expected and has much better reception than another radio (knock-off) I’ve had that is the same size. Need to read the instruction manual to understand all the buttons. Some buttons have more than one use. It scans the bands well. Volume from speaker is good, though the included headphones are better for clarity vs the single speaker. The included case is soft synthetic cloth material and only protect from sand or sprinkles but not drops or impacts. The 2xAA are lasting well after several hours of use. Has good features (e.g. squelch) and is useful for emergencies or road trips/camping.I was tired of having a radio that did not have good reception, the CCrane is picking up local stations my other radio did not. It is also receiving AM stations with less static or interference. Weather band is clear as my weather radio.

Great Little Radio!
If your looking to buy a compact radio with loads of features, this is all you need.Loads of presets, great sound, nice looking; and only needs 2 AA batteries.Would buy it again.
RODNEY SMITH –
excellent radio
Excellent small radio, good reception for distant AM radio signal. A bit pricey though.

Okay, if somewhat over-priced.
Limited AM reception. Would benefit from external antenna for FM. Weather channels work well in my area. Not the best fidelity, but good volume from included earphones. Have yet to try rechargeable batteries.

Good choice for a travel radio
A solid choice for a travel radio. Great band coverage with good sensitivity across the board. The speaker sound quality is okay, but is outmatched by many radios of the same size. However, what the Skywave gives in return is excellent battery life using ubiquitous AA batteries, which is what sold me on this radio. The sound quality on headphones is great. It has solid build quality an includes nice touches. For example, the center key has a small dimple on it so that you can locate it by feel (not unlike the f an j keys on a keyboard). It comes with a decent travel pouch, an excellent user’s manual, which is often not the case with radios today. It is very intuitive radio to operate (always a good thing 😊). All in all, I am happy with this radio. Having said that, nothing is perfect. While the contrast on the display is good with the backlight off, that is not always the case when it is on. The backlight is very uneven and makes it difficult to read the under some lighting conditions. This is something that most radios do well and it’s inexplicable for a radio at this price point.

Works great
Was a little smaller then I expected but it worked great, batteries lasted a whole 3 day weekend and still show they are full. My only complaint would be the buttons are so small I had to put on reading glasses to see the print

Turns off randomly
Poor quality – turns off randomly, even with new batteries installed. I was expecting something a little more reliable for the $100 price tag. Returned to Amazon for refund. Won’t be purchasing this brand again in the future, if I had the option to pick zero stars I would.
