Actually, they advertised the CC Radio mods for a short time on their site.
They looked nice -- red or blue displays, fine tuning knob, etc.
However, the Crane folks got upset, and Radiolabs pulled the CC Radio mods
to avoid more harassment. Frankly, I don't look for them to become
available again. Gary apparently sent his radio in for the mods before they
took the page down. (Hang on to that radio, Gary -- it may be a collector's
item!)
From my conversations with them, they are concentrating on the Super
ATS-909's, their repair facility, and on selling a myriad of new products.
(I just bought a Kaito 1102 from them).

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.
GA,
So RadioLabs.Com is creating "Super" CCRadio Plus AM/MW Radio, just
like they have created a "Super" Sangean ATS-909 Shortwave Radio.
