Good grief -- Apples to Oranges

READ - AM/MW DXing = Your Radio + Lazy Susan + Select-A-Tenna
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw...a/message/1787

As a stand-a-lone Radio for AM Broadcast Program Listening
the GE Superadios are the low cost performance favorate by
many casual AM/MW DXers.
+ Use a Select-A-Tenna and a Lazy Susan with the GE
Superadios and you can do some reasonable AM/MW
DXing for about $100-$150.
+ Plug a Long Wire (Random Wire)Antenna into the 1/8" Jack
on the Select-A-Tenna Model 541-M and you can generally
'improve' the listenable range of your AM/MW DXing both day
and night.

The GE Superadio III with the Dual 6" and 2" speakers provides
'quality' Mono-Aural Sound for FM Music Program Listeners.
= Nice Sound with Long Term Listenability )

The GE Superadios do not cover the Shortwave Bands and
for that the Grundig Yacht Boy 400 PE does a good job as a
'portable' AM/FM/Shortwave Radio.
- The Grundig Yacht Boy 400 PE as a stand-a-lone radio; does
not perform as well as the GE Superadios for AM/MW DXing.
- The Grundig Yacht Boy 400 PE does not have the long term
Listenability of the GE Superadios.

FWIW - Besides the Grundig Yacht Boy 400 PE
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grundig-Yacht-Boy-Radios/
consider these 'portable' AM/FM/Shortwave Radios as
Travel Radios for Shortwave Listening:
- Sony ICF-SW7600GR {AM-SYNC}
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/7600GR/
- Sangean ATS-909 / RadioShack DX398 {SSB}
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DX398/

If you are looking for a One-Radio 'compromise' then consider
the Grundig S350 "Super Radio" Tecsun BCL-2000 for both
AM/MW casual DXing and Shortwave Program Listening.

CULULIN,

The what have you to say about the "COUNTRY"
of Manufacture of the new GE Superadio IIIs ?

And REMEMBER the "GE Radio" Band Name is now owned by
a 'French' Company THOMSON {GE} Consumer Electronics.

Also "RCA" Radios are now a THOMSON {RCA} Consumer Electronics
Brand Name. RCA = http://www.rca.com/

No matter what the Brand Name most are 'made' in China; and
if not then in Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines,
and last but not least Japan.

I don't own a GE Superadio.To what do I have to say about frogland,you
ask? Them frogs are a bunch of Cowards,is what I say.

I already knew all of that.If I was rich,I would buy meself a
Watkins-Johnson radio or Ten-Tec or Drake R8B radio.I do own some
shortwave radios.One of them is a big Telefunken floor model shortwave
radio with AM/FM and it has a phonograph built in the top of it.I also
own another German shortwave radio.It is a large table model shortwave
radio with AM/FM and to tell y'all the truth,I don't remember if it is a
Grundig or a Blaupunk radio.Why? Because I bought it and some other
radios I own at one of the local Goodwill thrift stores here and that
radio I have it stored in one of my junk rooms here and I have so much
junk (it isn't all junk) stored around that radio and I haven't seen
that radio in years and I have forgotten what the brand name of that
radio is.I also own an old Hallicrafters S-38 EB shortwave table model
radio and I own a Panasonic table model shortwave radio I bought new at
a local store back in the 1980's and I own some other off the wall brand
name shortwave radios too.I have been a collector of old things all my
life.I own a 1914 Ford T model car I bought from a guy in Sioux
Falls,South Dakota in November of 1971,he and his wife were moving to
Minneapolis and they couldn't take the car with them.I paid $1,800.00
for my car.I also own a 1942 Willys World War Two Jeep and I own a 1948
Willys Civilian Jeep.Both Jeeps need a ground up restoration.OK,so I own
some old junk but it isn't all junk,I own many other old things too.

Check again, on a recent TV news segment about China, they said
that the Chinese electronics manfacturer TCL (?) bought Thomson
Consumer Electronics a few months ago.
