I wanted to check in the forum and see who has used the C Crane Skywave and their thoughts on it?

It looks like a fully capable Short Wave radio with the added benefit of having the NOAA Weather Bands as well. Hard to find a good Shortwave radio that covers all the bands and as well as the weather bands that is portable like this one.

If you are serious about SWL always get the SSB upper and lower version of any radio. it just opens up so many doors and levels of signals that you will be able to pick up and tune in.
 
To become proficient with tuning SSB there is a bit of a learning curve, but well worth the effort. You will also find that SSB mode is also helpful in tuning in weak AM or AM stations that are plagued with interference.

I used to do AM broadcast band DXing and would use SSB to tune the band listening for heterodyning from carriers between North American channel assignments. I used as narrow filter as I could and when hearing the heterodyning would carefully tune and listen extra hard.I have heard MANY European stations in between the 10 KHz spaced North American channels and even some North African and west Asian stations as well as Central America that way. They all use 9 KHz so with the spacing difference some of their channels fall between ours.
