GE Superadio III -- lots of birdies
Pros
Sensitive, sound is fine
Cons
Birdies everywhere
Recommended it?
No
I recently bought a GE Superadio III. I've had and Superadio II, and lots of its little brothers (similar radios have been in production for a long time).
It's an ok radio. The large speaker would sound fine if it weren't in a plastic case, and it's very sensitive on AM. I don't listen to FM much, but I could get difficult stations easily.
My main complaint is that there are many, many birdies from about 900 khz to 1200 khz. By "many" I mean at least 50. And loud. Having watched this family of radios grow, I ran into one about 15 years ago with the same problem. The radio hears through them, but it's a pity that they're there.
I shall put it in my kitchen to replace the Spacemaker radio that just died. It sounds fine, but a dxer that had the one I got would be very angry
