NOTE - The Radio Shack Optimus Models #s 12-603
and/ 12-903 may be 'look-a-likes' on the outside
-but- They do not have the GE Superadios Circuity
on the inside [.]
.

In my opinion the Radio Shack 12-903 is similar in design, with very similar
performance, but in a package that is far more solidly built. Its audio
sounds at least as good and is powerful. Battery life is the same (250
hours). Provision for external antenna. Controls don't wobble around and the
platic case is more substantial than the GE which feels 'cheap' in
comparison.
