AN INTRODUCTION TO RADIO How to Buy a Radio Having loved radio for over 40 years, we have learned quite a bit about what type of radio is best for a particular situation. You will get the best service, if you can decide what the highest purpose is for the radio you want. If you think about it this way, you may get a pleasant surprise on the price. Perhaps half the time the best radio for your purpose will cost less money than you originally expected, not more. At the same time, donʼt worry if the radio that you want costs more. It is far better to save your money for awhile, in order to get what you really want, because many people listen to their radios for 10 years or more. If you buy a radio that is not the one you really want, you may be reminded every time you turn it on. How We Pick our Radios Each type of radio we carry is put through a testing process that you would not want to match at your home. Most radios tested do not make it into our lineup for one reason or another. We ask ourselves why our customers would be interested in this model and how well the radio holds up to its designed purpose. We open it up and inspect it for quality and value and decide whether it is the best in its class or best for the money. Each radio is looked at in respect to people who are on a budget, and also for those who may not be on a budget. AM performance is tested around noon time. At that time, very weak stations can be tuned that remain at a constant signal level and donʼt fade in and out. It is then easy to see how one radio compares to another when tuned to the same station. If two radios are found that are very similar, we dig deeper and go into the history of the company behind the radio, then the better their history of quality, the more likely we are to carry that brand of radio. C. Crane has a quality control system in Fortuna and also overseas to raise quality and reduce problems. Since we repair our own radios we have good idea of what to look for. We carry many different brands of radio for a very good reason ... to serve you, our customers. It is, however, most fun and rewarding to design and manufacture our own radios based on what our customers have requested. Many of our employees, including the owners, have been building products since we were children. This is who we are. Besides the internet (check out our WiFi Radios), we believe radio is the most powerful and important media type in the United States, including television. We hope you will give us a call and/or visit ccradio.com when you need a radio. 1-800-522-8863 (TUNE) • ccrane.com 3 AM/FM RADIOS RoHS Produced Lead Free Sonido Radio The Elegant Weather Radio The Sonido is the elegant-looking AM/FM radio with Weather Band.

Item #8CD ..... $ 249.95 — While Supplies Last 5 Getting Started In Shortwave The first thing to decide is what size portable radio you need. SMALL (under 6" wide): If you travel, perhaps the smallest radio is best. As a radio gets smaller, performance generally decreases slightly in sensitivity (ability to pick up a weak station) and selectivity (ability to distinguish close stations). Since the speaker is small, a good set of headphones is a wise investment. MID-SIZE (about 8" wide): This size radio is multi-purpose. Small enough to travel with or just carry around. Also suitable as a desk radio. Audio quality is good enough for extensive listening. LARGE (about 12" wide): A real benefit of a larger radio is better audio quality, making it easier to listen to for hours on end. Larger radios seem to have better sensitivity and selectivity.

Here was a light that used very little power, was brighter than seemed possible from something so small, and it didnʼt have any fragile parts. It didnʼt take long for us to put them into flashlights and be impressed at how well they worked. We could bang the flashlights against the ground, and the light would still shine, we could let the flashlight sit in a puddle, and it would still glow, we could leave the flashlight on for hours and hours, and still get useful light to read by. It was a modern marvel to behold ... and we started thinking about the future of these bulbs and how they might work in a standard 120V Bulb. Over the last decade, weʼve consistently kept abreast of the latest in LED technology. Weʼve tested and experimented with all sorts of different LED lights — from pocket flashlights to light bulbs — and have finally reached a point where we can now offer you a direct replacement for your 60Watt incandescent bulbs and LED Light Bars for under your cabinets, in addition to our existing low output bulbs for accent, and task lights. When we introduced our first line of LED Light Bulbs, the Vivid Series, just a couple years ago, the results were amazing. Suddenly there was an alternate way to light our homes and workplaces that didnʼt require fragile filament-type bulbs or inconsistent compact fluorescents. The Vivid series bulbs continue to be an excellent choice for low light output applications such as reading, task and accent lighting. But if youʼve been waiting for that rare combination of bright light, efficiency and longevity, take a look at our new GeoBulb™ Series. Our GeoBulbs™ are the most advanced LED bulbs of their kind. They use high-powered LEDs that are rated to last over 30,000 hours, use about 7 Watts of power, and contain no mercury or lead. You can read more about the GeoBulb on pages 44 and 45. 1-800-522-8863 (TUNE) • ccrane.com 43 G e o B u l b™ L E D L I G H T B U L B S The GeoBulb™ — A Quantum Leap in Lighting Even though C. Crane is a small company we have developed the first viable direct-replacement LED light bulb that is as bright as a 60-Watt incandescent bulb. Itʼs called the GeoBulb™ and itʼs going to change things. While the GeoBulb™ brings LED light bulbs up to the brightness of incandescent bulbs, it still maintains the qualities that make LEDs so very exceptional: they last 30,000 hours, generate very little heat and arenʼt susceptible to vibrations or repeated on/off switching. Through the use of quantum-well technology, the GeoBulb™ uses only about 10% of the power of incandescent bulb and about half of a comparable CFL. One of the obstacles to producing a long-lasting, bright LED Light Bulb was that the components in an LED bulb would often fail before the LEDs. C. Craneʼs Ralph Guest and Jarl Johansen worked together with our dedicated partners to overcome this obstacle. By incorporating materials developed for use in space they came up with solutions that make it possible for the GeoBulb™ to carry an impressive three-year warranty. This warranty is valid even if the bulb is used 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for three consecutive years. Not only will the GeoBulb™ reduce your monthly energy bill, it will also cut back on how often you have to replace light bulbs and how often you have to deal with the potential ladder hazards of changing a bulb. We believe the GeoBulb™ will provide you with the best in energy efficient lighting, while also helping you reduce your energy consumption. We are very proud and have worked hard to be able to offer you the GeoBulb™ in a time when we are all very conscious of energy cost and our environment. The GeoBulb™ now uses about 7 Watts of power to put out as much light as a 60-Watt incandescent bulb. The GeoBulb™ has even been measured to be 14% brighter than a 60-Watt incandescent bulb off the top half of the bulb. It has passed both conductive and radiated emission tests from the FCC and also passed UL safety tests. The GeoBulb™ is designed for indoor use only, in an open fixture, within a temperature range from 14°F to 104°F. The GeoBulb™ is expensive in the beginning and the price does reflect our costs. As with all emerging technology, as production increases the price will of course drop. In the meantime, we thank you for your trust. Along with your purchase comes a big “thank you” from all of us at C. Crane. 44 1-800-522-8863 (TUNE) • ccrane.com G e o B u l b™ L E D L I G H T B U L B S RoHS Produced Lead Free GeoBulb™ LED Light Bulb Introducing the new GeoBulb™ LED Light Bulb from C. Crane The GeoBulb™ Light Bulb is going to change the way you light your home and business. Unlike any light bulb youʼve ever seen before, the GeoBulb uses about 7 Watts of power to put out as much light as most 60-Watt incandescent light bulbs. Because itʼs so bright, you can use it just about anywhere you currently use a standard, screw-in 60-Watt bulb. You can install a GeoBulb to bring energy efficient lighting to a foyer, open ceiling cans, table lamps, you name it. The GeoBulb gives off much less heat and turns on instantly. And once you install a GeoBulb, you wonʼt have to even think about changing it for over 30,000 hours. In practical terms, that 30,000-hour life span averages out to more than 20 years if the bulb is on 4 hours per day. Unlike compact fluorescent light bulbs, the GeoBulb has no mercury, turns on instantly, and can be used in colder temperatures. Every part of the GeoBulb is built for maximum longevity. The GeoBulb is available in three color temperatures — Cool Daylight, Warm White and Soft White, and is backed by a three-year warranty. • Help Control Combustion Gases • Extend Precious Fuel Resources • No Mercury or Lead • Save 85% on Your Lighting Bill Compared to Incandescent Bulbs And Save 40% Compared to CFL Bulbs Watts: 7.1.

Unlike average bulbs that have to be replaced at least once a year, GeoBulb Wedge Base bulbs last over ten years (at eight hours a night) — saving you money every minute theyʼre on. The GeoBulb Wedge Base bulb uses less than 1/4 of the energy of a standard 4-watt wedge base bulb and, when used in a downward or upward position, is even brighter than an 11-watt incandescent bulb. In addition to lasting more than a decade, this bulb is mercury and lead free, generates very little heat, and can be used in all types of weather (-10° to 120° F). Because of the Wedge Base LEDʼs low power consumption, you can install 16 light fixtures on one transformer rather than the usual four, saving you money on initial cost, energy use and the hassle of adding additional transformers and wiring. Works with both 12- to 16-Volt AC or DC systems. Made in Fortuna, California. Warranty: We back the GeoBulb with an unprecedented, unconditional 3-year warranty against burnout, even if the bulb is used 24 hours a day for three consecutive years.

These energy efficient lights use very little power and can install with just a screw driver or some (included) doubled-sided tape. Once theyʼre installed, youʼll notice that they give off very little heat (always a plus in a kitchen) and the soft white light bar gives off about as much light as a 15 watt bulb. The cool white light bar is brighter. Each 12-inch light bar has 6 LEDs, and you can daisy chain up to 11 light bars on one 12V adapter. The GeoBulb Under Cabinet Light Bars are available with soft white and cool white LED bulbs. And since they have that thin, 9/16-inch profile, they wonʼt stick out like ordinary under cabinet lights. We use the same high-quality, high-brightness LEDs youʼll find in our other GeoBulb LED lights, so youʼll get a great combination of energy efficiency, longevity and money savings. As with our other LED light bulbs, the GeoBulb Under Cabinet Light Bars are lead and mercury free and will last over 30,000 hours. Three year warranty.
