Default which GE Super radio was the best?

I know GE had a least 3 versions of the Superradio for AM Dxing. Out of I,
II,
and III which was the best overall?

I have a II and a III, and have used what is known as a I.

Go for the II. (Note though that neither the I or the II have the expanded band
coverage up to 1700 kHz).

I don't think there is a G.E.Superadio I, is there? Anyway, I own a
G.E.Radio and according to the model number on the back of the radio it
is a G.E.Superadio although it does not say Superadio anywhere on the
radio.I bought the radio new at a Service Merchandise store back in the
1980s.In my opinion, the first G.E.Superadios (including the one I own)
are better than the G.E.Superadios models II and III.I have never owned
a G.E.Superadio II or a G.E.Superadio III before.I am only basing my
expert opinion on reviews I have read before about the first ones and
the IIs and the IIIs.

As has been pointed out to you, time after time after time after time, the one
you have based upon the part number is what is known as the Superadio I.




Don't be too hard on him. After all, he's only as smart as you are.

Like DX Ace says the General Consensus is that the
GE Superadio II is the Best of the three GE Superadios.

GE Superadio II = General Electric Model # 7-2885
Speakers : Dual 5" and 1".
Single Band Width.
Knobs : Chrome (color) Body including the bases.
Size 13"W - 9"H - 3.25"D.
Badging : General (GE) Electric "SUPERADIO II" on the speaker grill.
Printed on the Tuning Band Scale: "Long Range" & "High Selectivity"
Made in MALAYSIA and other locations from 1987 until 1994.

7-2880B is the model number on the back of my radio.
Oh well, if it is a G.E.Superadio I, I guess that is what it is then.
Old Oldsmobiles with factory equiped Chevrolet engines are still
Oldsmobiles, I guess.
