GE Superadio III earphone difficulty - and what is OHM rating
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. |

Your mono earphone does not work in the Superadio III because the headphone jack (not the output itself) is stereo. This means it is set up to be used with stereo headphones. When you plug a mono earphone all the way in, it shorts out one channel of the stereo jack. Since the two channels are connected directly together inside the radio, this also shorts out the other channel, ergo, no sound. The speaker system inside the Superadio III is a nominal 8 to 10 ohms (though this doesn't matter for headphones, since there is a dropping resistor in the headphone line which raises the effective impedence to the headphones). |
It's a stereo jack. The "ohm rating" as you put it makes no difference in
this application. "Ronald" wrote in message om... My Radio Shack mono earphone with 1/8" plug does not work unless it's backed halfway out of the headphone hole.

Thank you for your detailed and prompt response. Radio Shack had a stereo to mono headphone adapter that solved the problem. Now I will locate a Telex dealer near me (Malibu, CA) and test various Telethin receivers from 15 ohms to 500 ohms. |
If you have an 1/8" mono plug and an 1/8" stereo jack, then you need an
adapter, such as R.S. 274-374. I would have bought stereo phones, which, with (a) suitable adapter(s) would work at max on anything. 73, Bill, K5BY |
The GE Superadio III requires a stereo headset. I had the same thing when I
first bought mine, seems kind of a strange way to design a mono radio. Good luck and enjoy. Ron |

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.

"grumpus" wrote in message om... A question for all Superadio aficionados...must the radio wear the Superadio badge to be considered a true Superadio? Regards, Grumpus When it comes to the GE models, yes. Other radios they made that look similar to the Superadio series are actually quite different circuit-wise. Though you may experience performance levels above many other portables (primarily because of the larger loopsticks), the basic chassis is pretty much the same as any other small portable, or an IC pocket radio. Adding larger antennas to those other portables will often bring their performance up to these higher levels (think of what a loop antenna does for most portables, it doesn't make so much difference on a properly aligned SRI or II {there's no such thing as a properly aligned SRIII...}) |
Ken, do a Google search for "The Super Radios By G.E.";
Thanks for the tip (and thanks to the others that provided information too), So... Is The Performer the same as the 7-2875A (which is in the picture with several other GE radios on that site)?. Thanks again. |
