Elfa,
the 603/903 is a lousy radio in my opinion. I own the 603. It is completely deaf (or nearly so) in the extended AM band (above 1600). I bought the 903 and found it to have nearly no sensitivity across the whole band...returned it the next day for another one which was the same. I had to crank volume to nearly max just to hear locals stations. Something tells me that these radios are coming out the factory without the final adjustments being tweaked, etc. Anyway, the Superadio III is a much better radio. The 603/903 does have better dial alignment. To answer your question. The 603 is better than 903. But I wouldn't have either one. elfa wrote in message ...
