FO&A,

The "RUMOR" persists that the GE Superadio III has been discontinued.

This week the local Long's Drug Store Photo/Electronics Manager said
that the GE-SR-IIIs are no longer available from their distributor.

? Will Thomson CE be offering a GE Superadio IV soon ?

NOTE: Thomson Consumer Electronics 'owns' the GE & RCA Radio Brand
Names:

? When Can We Expect a 'New' GE Superadio IV ?

? What Can We Expect in a 'New' GE Superadio IV ?

? Or, Is the GE Superadio III the Last of a Kind ?

Thomson may not be in a big hurry to introduce anything new in the US, what
with all the Francophobe sentiments currently extant..


What 'Features' would you want to see in a 'New' GE Superadio IV ?

Lets make a List:

1. Digital Display

One of the benefits of the Superadio series has been the low noise floor
allowing decent DX... making a PLL and digital display would bring up the
noise floor and cut the useful sensitivity.

They had a digital Superadio back in 1983, called the Superadio Plus. It was
a colossal bomb, and it's nearly impossible to find one of them on the used
market. I have never seen one on ebay (and I have looked for one).

2. AM Sync Detector

3. Two FM Radio IF's Stereo 180kHz and Mono 110kHz

Why would you want a bandpass less than that of the deviation used? FM
broadcast deviation is 75 KHz each side of the carrier center frequency, for
a total bandwidth used of 150 KHz. A 110 KHz bandwidth filter would cause
massive distortion. Mono and stereo FM broadcast signals use the same
bandwidth.

4. Two AM Radio IF Filters Wide 6kHz and Narrow 3.5kHz

5. RF Gain Control or Local/DX Switch

6. A dial that tracks, like the SRI and SRII...

7. A case that doesn't resonate and rattle at mid-bass frequencies

Please, Add Your Wishes to the List )
