Default superradio and icf6500; digital tuners too

Any thing is much better than that **** coming out of sony lately...

...
On recommendation of many sources I purchased a used GE superradio II last
year. It is obviously defective since it cannot perform as well as my old
Sony ICF6500.

I have two questions.

1. Is a working srii that much better than this sony?

2. Is there a technician/company of known repute that repairs these srii
and what would it cost?

and then...

I see new radios pretty much all have digital tuners. When tuning these, do
they all quiet as you tune? I had a digital tuning radio - now at the
bottom of a lake - which did so. I found it very hard to scan for new
stations as I had to stop at each new freq. to allow the thing to produce
audio. Do all digital radios act this way?

Thank you
