ATTN: GE Superadio III owners
 
hello to all SRIII owners, I just bought another one after losing my
first one to campsite thieves two years ago. I cant remember if my first
one had this little annoyance, but this new one has a "pop" from the
speaker when the power button is pressed. A buddy says his does this too,
but Im wondering just what the average rate of occurence of this is.
Surely not all of them. Does your radio have this, or is it free from
this?

Leave it turned on all the time and use the power cord to power on
power off.

My SuperRadio II does this too.

Anyone know if the III is any better than the II? Seen a few on discount
in stores and thought about buying one.

Almost all of my several hundred transistor radios from pen size up to
little match box size and on up to mini tube type and on up to heavy
portable radios are totable radios.I dont tote though.I dont own a GE
Superadio,I dont think they are all that Super anyway just because it
says Super on the radios.I used to tote a transistor radio in my shirt
pocket when I was in the Army.I haven't toted any radios since then.

CF,

From what I have read and from the samples of

the GE Superadios that I have : It is my 'opinion'
that the GE Superadios are Ranked :

# 1 - GE Superadio II (2)

# 2 - GE Superadio I (1)

# 3 - GE Superadio III (3)

just my two cents worth - jm2cw ~ RHF
