Question about GE Superadio III and batteries
I like the great sound on FM and the good reception on AM in a radio that
it costs little next to nothing. A combination hard to find elsewhere...
The large built-in antenna (AM ferrite-bar) makes for good AM-reception,
an the "well balanced" (though very cheap) set of speakers makes the sound
unmatched for a light footprint radio this cheap.
I do have better sounding portable radios (older, genuine Grundig
Satellit's)
but they are totally different class and price range all together.
Greetings,

Just curious, what do you consider "not garbage" -- some exotic radio you
shelled out $500 for?
Or built by you in your basement with your very own schematics?
Not everybody's into that.
About 90% of the people who own this radio on Amazon agree it's by far the
best sounding portable radio available for the money if you can live with
a
rotary tuning wheel and without a lot of digital bells & whistles.
They rate its AM reception particularly high and most thought the FM was
almost as good.
But thanks anyway for sharing.
