GE Superradio III Showing-Up my Tivoli Songbook

I've got two radios by my office desk, a 160-dollar Tivoli Songbook, which I reviewed for RadioIntel a year and a half ago, and my 40-dollar GE Superradio III, which I use as a "back-up" radio. The GE looks ugly, big and plastic, a 1970s fiasco, it has an inaccurate tuning band, no presets, but in many ways it's a superior radio to my expensive Tivoli. For example, my Tivoli can't pick up 89.3 FM without static, even as I move the telescopic antenna all lover. In contrast, my GE grabs 89.3 with ease and gets better AM as well. Its speaker is big and huge. It separates 1150 and 980 AM better than my Grundig/Eton S350 (which suffers from overload on those 2 stations). I wish there was a digital version of the GE with presets. I would be in radio heaven. Until that happens, I'll have to wait for the Redsun 3000.

New Radio King of the World

Jay Allen has made a convincing case in his RadioIntel review of the Redsun RP2100 that the Redsun is perhaps the greatest radio in the world. But now, as mentioned in a eham radio review, the Redsun will be eclipsed by another Redsun, the RP3000. An improved version of the RP2100, the Redsun RP3000 will have a direct entry keypad, 1,000 presets, SSB, and improved ergonomics. For you radio freaks out there, we have something that may beat the Kaito/Degen 1103, the Grundig G4000, the Eton/Grundig S350 Deluxe. Watch out, Radio Uber Alles, in the name of the Redsun RP3000, is coming! What's more RadioIntel should have a review of it in the upcoming months.
