[Electronics-talk] Accessible Weather Radio?

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hello,

not sure of the name of the C Crain Radio.  It has 5 large preset btuttons
on the top edge.  It has 2 kind of  triangle shaped buttons on the top edge
at either end of the row of presets.  The right hand triangle is the on-off
and the left 1 is the band selector, including am, fm, weather and 1
shortwave band.  I hope this is enough to identify the model.  Again, it is
a wonderful radio, fantastic am and fm reception and the weather alarm is
very loud.

Warm Regards,

Fred
