I had the same thing when I first bought mine, seems kind of a strange way
to design a mono radio.

I suspect only stereo chips are made these days.

Split audio can be useful, though, by monitoring one side with phones and
feeding the other side to a computer or recorder.

Mine is Model 7-2887A. Guess that makes it a Superadio IIIA. ;}

Mine is a Superadio III, and is listed as "Model 7-2887". Hope that
helps.

My Superadio II needs stereo....won't work with mono so it seems the idea
started before the Super III.

It's only a mono chip in there. The two sides of the jack are simply
connected together. They do this because most people have or buy stereo
headphones, whereas mono headphones or earphones are rarely ever seen
anymore.

Ronald,

My Radio Shack mono earphone with 1/8" plug does not work unless it's
backed halfway out of the headphone hole. This is not satisfactory
because the slightest movement of the cable disconnects the sound.
I want to purchase a high quality Telex or Byerdynamics mono earphone
but need the ohm rating of the GE Superadio III speaker. Any other
suggestions for radio listening pleasure as one falls off to sleep ?
Could not be happier with the AM sensitivity and excellent sound.
I would prefer a small programmable AM/FM digital radio with equal AM
sensitivity but do not know what to buy.

Hi, Superadio I's and II's are silver, black, and chrome, and are more
severely rectilinear in shape. III's are black with chrome accents
and have a more rounded body. To distinguish between models I and II,
look through the front grill. The II has a tweeter which the I does
not. There was also a Superadio II which was brown and silver in
color, not black and silver. Not to mention a host of spin-offs...the
fabled Digital Superadio, Superadio With Cassette, various Superadio
Boomboxes, and a model called the "Performer" which was a pared down
Superadio (C Cells instead of D) which lived up to its billing.

Regards,

Grumpus

Hmmm. I've had an SR 2 since about 1991, but I never heard of the Performer.
I'm interested ( I also have an old GE P780 which is my best MW DX radio of the
many radios I have). I just did a google and Ebay search but nothing turned up.
Can anyone elaborate on the Performer or direct me to a picture or a writeup.
Thanks.

A lot of people called anything in a sub-boombox case made by GE a
"Superadio". The Performer series (there were several models) does not come
close to the Superadio class. Most had a larger than average speaker and a
longer than average loopstick, but did not have the tuned RF stage that the
Superadios have. Not many GE radios between the P780 and the Superadios did
have a tuned RF stage. I can't speak for their World Monitors, as I've never
had one of those to play with, but their AM only and AM/FM radios were
basic, no more than a pocket radio with a big antenna and speaker (and some
were downright BAD)

BTW, I have a couple P-780's I could let go. Both play well, one needs the
dial string restrung (hamfisted Brenda with a soldering iron). Make me a
reasonable offer on one or both.

Superradio 1 has volume and tuning sliders on the right - hand edge
of the radio, and is much smaller than II and III models.

One of the GE 'World Monitors' (circa mid' 80's) was a clone of the
Panasonic RF-2900. It had full shortwave coverage along with AM (MW) and
FM. It was one of the better portables for it's time, although rather
large.
