Has anyone tried this new product? I saw it tonight selling for
$49.95 at a local RS store here in Virginia . About the same size as
the GE SR series, the Extreme Long Range radio features digital LED
frequency display and direct entry. Build quality appears to be
excellent. BTW, my Sony 7600 GR blows away my SR III as an AM BCB dx
receiver.

I've heard it is not a bad receiver, but I if their description says "
Extreme Long Range" it is a hyperbolic overstatement. Maybe the
Panasonic RF2800 style handles are supposed to make it look like a
serious machine. Someone did a side-by-side comparison here and
concluded the GE Superradio is a marginally better receiver.
