Thank you for purchasing a CCRadio2. The CCRadio2 has many of the
refinements and improvements requested y customers who have
ought other CCRadios. The CCRadio2 is uilt for the highest perfor-
mance ever on AM and has een designed to e long lasting.
Youʼll notice that we removed the television (TV) and from the radio.
This change was necessary ecause of the new government mandated
digital format set for Fe ruary of 2009. We have replaced the TV and
with the 2-Meter VHF Ham and. For many radio listeners the addition
of the 2-Meter VHF Ham and will e their first experience with amateur
(ham) radio. I hope you have the time to explore this and. What youʼll
hear is a lot of dedicated radio people using a communication device
with pride. You will especially want to tune in to 2-Meter VHF during a
local, area-wide emergency when communications will e very different.
When the power in an area is down, and cell phones and other modes
of communication are unavaila le, many hams use porta le equipment
that lets them work as eacons of information. They have direct com-
munication with federal agencies and the Red Cross. We recommend
that you find out which local 2-Meter frequencies are used during an
emergency in your area and have them installed into the five memory
locations.
We hope the CCRadio2 will give you many years of learning, news and
entertainment. If you have any questions a out your radio, please give
us a call or check out ccradio.com. You can find many questions
answered at ccradio.com/faqs/ccradio2
Thanks!

TUNING

Page 12 CCRadio2
Radio Operation
The WEATHER ALERT modes on the CCRadio 2 can alert you to spe-
cial weather related emergencies. During an emergency or weather-
related hazard, NOAA issues an emergency tone that will set off an
audible and/or visual alarm on the radio.
NOTE: Hazard warnings are not available in all areas.
There are seven standard NOAA weather channels used in the US and
Canada. This radio receives broadcasts up to 40 miles from transmitting
stations.
1) To listen to the standard NOAA weather channels, turn the radio on,
press the Band button until WX shows on the display. The telescopic
whip antenna may need to be fully extended and in the “up” position
to receive a station clearly.
2) The channel number of the weather station is shown on the display.
Pressing the Tuning Up or Down Buttons will toggle you through the
seven programmed channels. There should be one or more weather
service stations broadcasting in your local area. ou will hear a
report that is updated usually once or more per day for your area. If
there is a severe weather or weather-related emergency, NOAA will
update the weather broadcast more frequently. If there is a weather
emergency, the NOAA will issue an alert tone.
After locating and tuning in your weather station the radio can now be
placed into WEATHER ALERT mode. The WEATHER ALERT mode
enables you to listen to your favorite AM or FM station or turn the radio
off, and still receive an alert signal warning you of a special emergency.
There are three active WEATHER ALERT modes on the CCRadio 2.
NOTE:
1) When activated, the WEATHER ALERT consumes power even when
the radio is turned off.
2) Be aware t at if you are not using AC power t e WEATHER
ALERT will completely drain your batteries. If your batteries are
dead and AC power is off, t e WX Alert Alarm will not work.
Setting t e Weat er Alert
1) To place the radio in WEATHER ALERT mode, press and hold the
Weather Alert Button for two seconds: ou will hear a short beep
and see the alert symbol, shown on page 13 (top right), on the
display.

emergency, the radio will automatically alert you with
a small lashing light near the top o the radio. The Alert light
continues to lash until any button is pushed.
2) To access the second mode, (WEATHER ALERT with NOAA Audio) .
Press and hold the WEATHER ALERT Button again or two seconds
until you hear a long beep. The symbol shown at
right will be displayed in this mode. In this mode,
i the NOAA alert tone is issued, the red light

Radio Op ration
The 2-Meter Ham Band is a popular radio band used by amateur radio
operators for civil defense. After a hurricane, earthquake or other
calamity, 90% of emergency coordination at the local level takes place
on this band. Listening to this band during an emergency can be
extremely valuable and even life saving. For most people, the
CCRadio2 will probably be their first experience with Ham radio.
We have preprogrammed some of the most popular frequencies into the
five memories of the CCRadio2. Different frequencies may be active at
your location, other than those preprogrammed into the memories. The
following are the frequencies and memory locations as they were origi-
nally preprogrammed:
1) 146.520
2) 146.760
3) 146.880
4) 146.940
5) 147.000
You can program your frequencies of interest into a memory location at
any time.
To scan the five memory channels when in 2-Meter Ham,
momentarily press both of the p and Down Tuning Buttons
at once, the radio will scan the memories and automatically
stop when it detects a voice transmission. Raise the telescopic antenna
up fully in a vertical position. It is best to set the squelch level prior to
scanning the memory stations. See “Setting the Squelch” below.
SETTING THE SQUELCH
Background noise or static is present at every location and at every fre-
quency. If you set the squelch above the background noise level, the
radio will remain silent until a voice transmission is detected. It is best to
set the squelch as low as possible (to just before static is constant).
This way you can hear signals that may be weak. If you
set the squelch too high, you may miss some weak
voice transmissions.
To adjust the squelch level, press and hold the main
Tuning Knob in for one second until the display
changes. Turn the Tuning Knob slowly clockwise
(increasing squelch) until the radio just becomes silent.

Radio Ope ation
SEARCHING FOR A NEW ACTIVE FREQUENCY
At times, more frequencies will become active than have been prepro-
rammed into the radio. You can search the 2-Meter Ham band by
pressin the Up or Down Tunin Button and holdin it
momentarily. You can also start scannin by pressin and
releasin the main Tunin Knob. The radio will be in search-
in the entire 2-Meter Ham band until it finds an active frequency and
then it will stop. You may want to write down this frequency to keep
track of which frequencies are active. With time you may find a frequen-
cy of interest.
Durin non-emer ency times, you can listen and learn more about the
Ham radio operators that live around you. After listenin to them for a
time, you may find you would like to be a Ham, too. Joinin requires
passin an entry level multiple choice test and purchasin reasonably
priced Ham radio equipment. The 2-Meter band is the most popular
place to start for a Ham. You can contact the American Radio Relay
Lea ue (ARRL) toll free at 888-277-5289 or at arrl.org to find out what
you need to learn and the nearest testin location.

ency radio operations.
