ATS 818ACS Deluxe With Tape Recorder

AM/FM/SW/SSB
A Custom Radio by C. Crane
The 818ACS is a good SW receiver combined with a programmable cas-
sette recorder. By eliminating the mute between stations and reducing
tuning knob friction, our exclusive modifications give the “818ACS
Deluxe” more of an analog sound and feel. We also add an RCA-type
jack for attaching an external SW antenna. Runs on AC Adapter (includ-
ed) or 4 “D” and 3 “AA” batteries (not included). More specs at

Weight: 5.5 lbs. 12" W x 7.5" H x 3" D.
One-year warranty by C. Crane Company only.

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 gen-
erally 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 bene-
fit 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.
