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).


Superadio is rated at 400 - 500 hours. Not the same at all.

Point-of-Fact the Circuits may be simular
BUT they are NOT the same [.]

Some have 'claimed' the the RadioShack Radios are
GE Suoeradio IIIs packaged in a RadioShack Shell :
This is NOT the Case [.]

For the time period that their were make the RadioShack
Radios were most likely made by Sangean and are a
Sangean design to 'approximate' a GE Superadio III at
a much lower cost.

As not so 'super' as the GE Superadio III is : It "IS"
better then the Radioshack 'want-to-bees' ~ RHF
