GE 72887 AM/FM Radio

I bought the GE Superadio III about 8 years ago when radio station WHO in Iowa advertised it as a "no fade" radio during late night talk broadcasts. Since then I have owned the Crane CCR and a Sony 2010 and am unsure of the nitche the GE holds in the market place. The GE does have very pleasing sound on both AM and FM. It is monoral (not stereo)however - as the Crane and Sony. The GE does have excellent sensitivity which allowed me to hear over 300 different stations, Mexico, Cuba and around 35 different states from my home in S.W. Michigan. States included California, Colorado and Montana. I used no external antenna. What the GE III lacks is a digital frequency readout so one is always unsure of what station they are listening to. The need for a digital tuner is why I went to the Crane unit. The selectivity of the GE unit was less than the Crane, but adequate. Sensitivity was comparable - Sound quality surpassed the Crane. Bottom line is if you want a nice sounding, cheap, table model radio for general purpose then consider this unit.
