How do you tell if a Superadio is I, II, or III?
Thanks, Sherrill elfa wrote: In article , Rhavedx says... The GE Superadio III requires a stereo headset.

As I recall the Superadio I just says Superadio on the front, the II and III are
indicated on the front of the later models. Sherrill Martin wrote: How do you tell if a Superadio is I, II, or III? Thanks, Sherrill elfa wrote: In article , Rhavedx says...

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.

Superadio (C Cells instead of D) which lived up to its billing. 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. --Ken |

Thanks. --Ken 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) |

I used to have the GE P-1810a Long Range and it was great on mw.
I lost it years ago and I've been looking for this radio for sometime now with no luck. -- 73's Rick Drake R8 R8B ICOM R75 Yaesu 7700 Hammarlund SP-600-JX-17 "When in doubt, mumble."

Superradio 1 has volume and tuning sliders on the right - hand edge
of the radio, and is much smaller than II and III models. 73, Steve Lawrence Burnsville, MN "N8KDV" wrote in message ... | As I recall the Superadio I just says Superadio on the front, the II and III are | indicated on the front of the later models. | | | | Sherrill Martin wrote: | | How do you tell if a Superadio is I, II, or III? | | Thanks, | | Sherrill | | elfa wrote: | | In article , Rhavedx says... | | The GE Superadio III requires a stereo headset.
