Looks can be deceiving. I believe the current R Shack offering is the
12-903, successor to the 12-603. They may look similar in ways to the
SR3 - but they are different radios. The RS version is totally deaf
above 1600 and just plain hard of hearing below that. Dial accuracy
better though.

I have had the 603, 903 and the GE SR2 and SR3.
I returned the 903 as it was horrible....every sample I tried. Stick
with the SR3 - even with some of its shortcomings it is far superior
to the RS model.





Shows that the seller has 5 *new* SR-3's at $39.95 on the Buy it Now
option.

Supplies seem to be drying up lately.

Not really drying up.

Radio Shack is now selling
the SR-3 under it's own RS brandname. Available
in any RS store. Forget the model number but you'll
recognize it when you see it on the shelf. Still has that
quirky on/off pushbutton on the top left and the classsic
big slide-rule dial.
