Default 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,
Knut Otterbeck

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.
