You won't get those extras for the original price, but for an
additional amount, probably around $100, IN THE FUTURE, you will be
able to have the following modifications done to your CCRadio:

1 - modified audio circuit that uses the 5-inch speaker to its
potential by increasing the audio frequency response. This should
make the radio sound much better on FM, and also improve the sound
of
talk radio. With separate bass and treble controls, a talk switch
isn't necessary.
2 - modifications to increase the sensitivity on MW while REDUCING
noise level.
3 - changing the bandwidth filter to one with better specs resulting
in better sound AND better selectivity.
4 - the addition of an antenna trimmer knob which can make a big
difference in reception of the desired station while helping
selectivity.
5 - better looking set by changing the dull lighted display with a
nice full blue light.

My CCRadio is one currently being used as a test to fine-tune these
modifications and I should have it back shortly. As soon as I get
it
back, I will report to this group the results, and if then
available,
how you can have the mods done to your set. I was told by Chris
Justice that the modifications will make a HUGH difference in dx
reception. I will then compare it with the Sat 800 using the Terk
loop and sync detector and see which is better.

Good luck with the mods, and I suspect, with Justice involved, that
you will have one excellent radio. But, as someone who has always
thought of the CCRadio as overpriced (one part hype to one part
performance), I'd suggest that the -need- for serious mods to what is
already a $160 radio only confirms my impression of the original.
