NEW CC WiFi-3!

The CC WiFi-3 is remarkable for listening to a clear signal from your favorite station. With the vast selection of over 25,000 stations on the new CC WiFi 3 you can be assured you will discover radio shows you love. You can go to Skytune.net, click on the "Radio" header to be sure they carry your favorite station or host.

The CC Wifi-3 has a much quicker command response time than our previous models since the processor is faster. It comes with a 5 volt AC adapter and an included power cord that can be connected to a USB port for power. The WiFi receiving range is the best we have tested because of the included 5dBi external antenna. If your location is still too far away then our long distance Parabolic Power Antenna may be the solution. It is available below at an additional cost.

Audio is great for a full voice with clarity. If you would like superior audio for music, the CC WiFi 3 has a line-out which can be used for remarkable results with an amplified speaker system. The radio has an adjustable equalizer (Line Out and Headphone) for advance users centered at 105, 300, 850, 2400 and 6800 Hz plus an adjustable 3D setting for depth. Settings can be adjusted to your ear. Audio from the Line Out is equal to or better than any other WiFi radio we have tested.

Additional features include a sleep timer, alarm, and adjustable backlight. Runs on 5V AC adapter (included).

Weight: 1 lb. 2.6 oz. Size: 6.5" W x 3.9" H x 3.9" D.

Music Tip:

If you are primarily a music listener, you might consider an amplified speaker system. There are hundreds to choose from. Consider a separate bass speaker with tweeters if you like full bass response. We can recommend the Logitech Z625 2.1 Speaker System at under $150.00 which worked remarkably well for the price but it’s not perfect. Bass can be adjusted for voice clarity.

Higher end audio is a function of your likes and cost. You probably know that the cost can go up dramatically for better systems so it’s good to set a budget ahead of time. Visiting your local stereo store is sometimes the best way to find a system you like
Terms of Service:
  • Skytune only plays on a Skytune-enabled radio. It is not accessible from your cellphone but most stations are available from other stream sources using your phone by using apps.
  • C. Crane has no control over content or the stream provider and cannot be responsible for Internet radio programs or availability.
  • If Skytune goes down, you will lose service. Anticipating this, we made sure you can put the URL of a station into the radio and continue listening to your radio. This feature does require a computer and technical knowledge. Finding the URL of a streaming station for this purpose is sometimes difficult or impossible as they change it each time it is accessed.

Why do I get ERROR #7 after connecting my radio to WiFi and then selecting "Internet Radio Stations"?

Although there are a few different possibilities for this error message, your radio may need to receive a firmware update for better router communication. The next time you receive the error message, don't touch the radio for 1 minute as it may need some time to access the firmware upgrade. If this doesn't work, then you might try using another WiFi connection (temporarily) to receive the firmware update on your radio. Thereafter you may return to your previous WiFi connection see if that resolves the issue. Alternatively you can always contact C. Crane customer service for further assistance and support.

When I hold the Preset button in for 3 seconds it doesn’t assign my station to Preset #1 or the number I want it to be stored. Why?

To store presets for 1-9 and 0 for 10, you will need to use the remote control and the number that you want to assign the station to.

Can I connect the CC WiFi 3 Internet Radio wired to my router using an Ethernet cable?

No. This radio can only connect wirelessly to your WiFi router.

Can I connect to WiFi networks that require agreeing to a user license agreement and/or a username and a password?

No. Many hotels, hospitals and airports are adding on a user license agreement you must accept in order to access Internet or requiring a username and password for using their WiFi networks. The radio has no way of displaying these webpages or accepting such agreements so it will not work in these situations.

How do I reset the WiFi 3 Internet Radio back to factory defaults?

Where can I find my router name (ESSID) and wireless encryption key?

Try looking on the underside of your wireless router or wireless modem. Sometimes they are printed on a label affixed to the bottom. Also check your documents for a piece of paper that was printed out after the router was initially set up.

Is there a port for an external WiFi antenna?

Yes. The radio includes a removable 5dBi WiFi Antenna with an RPSMA connector that can be replaced with a stronger gain WiFi Antenna. If you have a distant shop or garage, our Parabolic antenna with a 10' cable can deliver a signal to your CC WiFi 3 up to 400' away, provided there are no obstructions, and your router is in a favorable position.

Can I listen to Major League Baseball or on the CC WiFi 3 Internet Radio?

No. The radio will only display and connect to WiFi routers that use 2.4Ghz.

Will the CC WiFi 3 Internet Radio connect to Pandora, Spotify, Slacker, Sirius XM, and other streaming services?

No. Our CC WiFi 3 Internet Radio does not offer other streaming services. This radio connects to Skytune.net which does not offer other streaming services.

I turn my radio on before going to bed and when I wake up in the morning my radio has shut off by itself. What causes this?

Possibly an alarm is set. Make sure the alarm settings for Alarm #1 and Alarm #2 are set to OFF.

Press and hold the Alarm button in for 3 seconds until you see Alarm #1 and Alarm #2.

When I hold the Preset button in for 3 seconds it doesn’t assign my station to Preset #1 or the number I want it to be stored. Why?

  7. Turn the Dial/Select until the white arrow is next to the appropriate language.
  8. Press and release the Dial/Select knob.

My radio is connected to WiFi but it intermittently drops out while playing a station. Why?

This could be due to the signal between the radio and the router being too weak or too much interference. Check to make sure the 5dBi WiFi antenna (included with the radio) is attached completely to the back of the radio. You may want to detach and reattach it.

When I turn on my iPhone Personal Hotspot, I do not see it listed as a network on my CC WiFi 3 Internet Radio. Why?

Most iPhones are setup to broadcast the Personal Hotspot WiFi as a 5 GHz network and not as a 2.4 GHz network. It may be necessary to go into the iPhone settings for the Personal Hotspot and turn on the Maximize Compatibility.
