I want to take the time to thank everyone for taking the time to help
me. I've decided that I will go with the Superadio III. I'm going to
wait until Circuit City cuts the price on the S350 to $50, which they
do every year in my area from what I heard from someone who works at
CC. The only thing that bugs me is that no one sells the SRIII locally
and they won't even order it. It might seem kind of old-fashioned, but
I've always been able to buy things locally until the SR III. I have a
few questions:

1) I've already got a few responses from others on this question, but
I'll throw it out to everyone. What is the most reputable mail-order or
online place to buy the SR III? What I mean is as far as customer
satisfaction, return policies, few hassles, etc.

2) I haven't ordered anything ever, as hard as that would be to
believe. I also don't have a credit card. A few retailers will take
checks or money order. My biggest concern is that if I send the check
or money order to them, it would be lost in the mail. Please forgive me
if this is a dumb question. Is there a "sure fire" way of making sure
the check or money order gets to the store?

3) I may have already have asked this, but does anyone have an
Superadio III that they'd be willing to part with?

I thank everyone again for the help you gave me in making this
decision. Happy DX'ing. :-)

I own both a GE Sradio III and (just obtained recently) an S350. For
AM BCB DX'ing I like the S350 hands down. The GE is a good receiver
but digital readout and in my opinion better selectivity in the S350.
Now...the GE is better for FM dxing if you do any of that. an
excellent receiver if you can find one used is the Sangean ATS803A.
(Was also the Radio Shack DX440). Digital
readout...sensitive..selective..good ferrite rod antenna.
"pound for pound" I've heard more and lower powered stations on the
S350 than on the GE. Just my take on it. 73
