Forget the Analog Tunning and cost on the SR III or the LCD display and

I have had both of these radios and kept the S350 for its portability
and gave the GEIII away because for some unknown reason I didn't like
it. I also have a GE II which I do like. If I could only have one for
AM listening, I would choose a GE II. If my choice was between a GEIII
and the drifty 350 I would pick the 350. They both seemed to have the
same sensitivity on AM, more or less, but the sound quality is better
with the GE. The GE is rather a pain to cart around, being big and
heavy, and I find the 350 quite convenient in that respect. The battery
drain on the GE is very low but it plugs in to the AC. Actually, I took
no pleasure in the GEIII but I have found the 350 to be trouble-free
and handy, but I still use the GEII quite often. If you can find a good
GEII on ebay or some such, that is the one I would pick. Actually, I
hated the GEIII : it had a sort of clockwork orange quality about it
that drove me nuts.
