The best General Electric Super Radios, in my opinion, are the 7-2880B sets.. But, like all of them, these vary widely from radio to radio, for all kinds of reasons, not the least of which is the differing performance of the IC chip. Further, the manufacturer used gain-blockers to reduce the performance of the more "hot" ICs, so the resulting over-the-counter models would be as similar as possible, despite component variations. Transistors also varied in gain. Generally, these are good radios. The very first Super radio II sets were excellent; but soon they changed the tuning-condenser to a wafer type that did not track nearly as well, degrading alignment and therefore performance. Other radios out there are marginally better, but also cost a whole lot more than the Super Radios did. The Super radio downfall is in selectivity. Adjacent F.M. signals are a problem, and it is nearly impossible to zero-in on a European, African, or Asian A.M. station on frequencies BETWEEN our domestic 10kcs spacing. These generally are excellent everyday or "starter" radios for portable DXing (or, just plain nice sound); but you will need to graduate to something better if you want to get serious in the hobby. The Super Radio III is not worth bothering with. It is inferior in every way, including sound.

Hi duncan,

I was one of the engineers at G.E. corp that helped design the super radio.
There is nothing special about it and it really is a terrible radio, but we
knew if we called it 'Super Radio' a ****-load of retards would buy one.

Hey Guglielmo:
Is it true Eugenio Pacelli was a closet nazi?

Yes it's true, and he's damn proud of it too!
