The Superadio II is no longer for sale....
"Frank" wrote in message . com... By the way, The Superadio II that I had for sale didn't NEED and alignment. I'm having it done just to make it better than it already is!! Frank "Frank" wrote in message . com... Check out the reviews below: http://www.transistor.org/collection/ge/ge19.html BEST PORTABLE RADIOS FOR MW DX 1. Sony ICF-2010 --- Still the one. After years of production, the 2010 still sits atop the mountain of MW DX portables. Unmatched in features and performance important to MW DXers. In dozens of side-by-side tests with numerous portables, the 2010 always comes out smiling. Filter options and mods available are a plus. 2. C. Crane CCRadio --- Usually a close second to the 2010 in side-by-side tests of sensitivity (some users report equal or better sensitivity than the 2010). Selectivity quite good for domestic (i.e., 10 kHz spacing) DX; needs a filter mod for split-frequency DX. Doesn't have the sometimes helpful features of the 2010 (e.g., synchro; ECSS). There is apparently some variability in samples (common among portables) that result in differences of opinion regarding this radio. Still, of the three I've seen, all performed extremely well, especially after alignment. Early reports of the new CCRadio Plus suggest that it may be better than the original. 3. Panasonic RF-2200 --- This discontinued, 1970's era analog radio remains a marvel of engineering. From its raw sensitivity on MW to its rotating "gyro" AM antenna to its two selectivity bandwidths, the RF-2200 is one of my favorites for MW DX. The only analog portable I've ever seen that gives 10 kHz read-out on MW (except for the Barlow-Wadley XCR-30 (which isn't very good on MW)). Audio is also very pleasing. Note that MW band coverage stops at 1600 kHz. 4. GE Superadio I or II --- The first two of the popular Superadio series and easily the best. Excellent construction quality with separate circuit boards for different stages, a high-quality variable capacitor (vice tuning diodes), etc. Superb sensitivity on MW and excellent selectivity for domestic DX. Coverage stops at 1600 kHz though and dial read-out is coarse. Best audio of any portable. Long discontinued. "Frank" wrote in message ... Excellent condition. Very clean. Works perfectly. Well known as the best of the Superadio series for MW DXing. Price is $75.00 shipped in CONUS.... |
