GE Superadio III earphone difficulty - and what is OHM rating

[Ronald]

My Radio Shack mono earphone with 1/8" plug does not work unless it's
backed halfway out of the headphone hole. This is not satisfactory
because the slightest movement of the cable disconnects the sound.
I want to purchase a high quality Telex or Byerdynamics mono earphone
but need the ohm rating of the GE Superadio III speaker. Any other
suggestions for radio listening pleasure as one falls off to sleep ?
Could not be happier with the AM sensitivity and excellent sound.
I would prefer a small programmable AM/FM digital radio with equal AM
sensitivity but do not know what to buy.

Your mono earphone does not work in the Superadio III because the headphone
jack (not the output itself) is stereo. This means it is set up to be used
with stereo headphones. When you plug a mono earphone all the way in, it
shorts out one channel of the stereo jack. Since the two channels are
connected directly together inside the radio, this also shorts out the other
channel, ergo, no sound.

The speaker system inside the Superadio III is a nominal 8 to 10 ohms
(though this doesn't matter for headphones, since there is a dropping
resistor in the headphone line which raises the effective impedence to the
headphones).

It's a stereo jack. The "ohm rating" as you put it makes no difference in
this application.

Thank you for your detailed and prompt response. Radio Shack had a
stereo to mono headphone adapter that solved the problem. Now I will
locate a Telex dealer near me (Malibu, CA) and test various Telethin
receivers from 15 ohms to 500 ohms.

[WShoots1]

If you have an 1/8" mono plug and an 1/8" stereo jack, then you need an
adapter, such as R.S. 274-374.

I would have bought stereo phones, which, with (a) suitable adapter(s) would
work at max on anything.

The GE Superadio III requires a stereo headset. I had the same thing when I
first bought mine, seems kind of a strange way to design a mono radio. Good
luck and enjoy.

How do you tell if a Superadio is I, II, or III?

As I recall the Superadio I just says Superadio on the front, the II and III are
indicated on the front of the later models.

Mine is a Superadio III, and is listed as "Model 7-2887". Hope that
helps.

I suspect only stereo chips are made these days.

Split audio can be useful, though, by monitoring one side with phones and
feeding the other side to a computer or recorder.

It's only a mono chip in there. The two sides of the jack are simply
connected together. They do this because most people have or buy stereo
headphones, whereas mono headphones or earphones are rarely ever seen
anymore.

Hi, Superadio I's and II's are silver, black, and chrome, and are more
severely rectilinear in shape. III's are black with chrome accents
and have a more rounded body. To distinguish between models I and II,
look through the front grill. The II has a tweeter which the I does
not. There was also a Superadio II which was brown and silver in
color, not black and silver. Not to mention a host of spin-offs...the
fabled Digital Superadio, Superadio With Cassette, various Superadio
Boomboxes, and a model called the "Performer" which was a pared down
Superadio (C Cells instead of D) which lived up to its billing.

Hmmm. I've had an SR 2 since about 1991, but I never heard of the Performer.
I'm interested ( I also have an old GE P780 which is my best MW DX radio of the
many radios I have). I just did a google and Ebay search but nothing turned up.
Can anyone elaborate on the Performer or direct me to a picture or a writeup.
Thanks.

A lot of people called anything in a sub-boombox case made by GE a
"Superadio". The Performer series (there were several models) does not come
close to the Superadio class. Most had a larger than average speaker and a
longer than average loopstick, but did not have the tuned RF stage that the
Superadios have. Not many GE radios between the P780 and the Superadios did
have a tuned RF stage. I can't speak for their World Monitors, as I've never
had one of those to play with, but their AM only and AM/FM radios were
basic, no more than a pocket radio with a big antenna and speaker (and some
were downright BAD)

reasonable offer on one or both.

Don't know which radio you are thinking of (perhaps one of the Performer
models?), but the SRI is nearly identical to the SRII, the only differences
being that the SRI has no tweeter, and used a heavier, metal power switch.
Other than that, you can swap the chassis between the two cases...

[starman]

One of the GE 'World Monitors' (circa mid' 80's) was a clone of the
Panasonic RF-2900. It had full shortwave coverage along with AM (MW) and
FM. It was one of the better portables for it's time, although rather
large.

Ken, do a Google search for "The Super Radios By G.E."; this will
bring up photos of the Performer and other Superadio models, but I
caution you, it takes some time for the pictures to load. Also, if
you follow the other links, you will see that the host has an
absolutely fabulous collection of high end portable radios (how about
six or seven Satellit 700's lined up all in a row?).
As far as the performance of the Performer goes, I've not done much
DXing work with it, and Brenda is undoubtedly correct when she says it
doesn't hold a candle to the SR II, but it is a solidly built little
radio with wonderful tone and better than average sensitivity and
selectivity, much better I think than any run of the mill pocket model
of yore, and virtually all present day portables. A question for all
Superadio aficionados...must the radio wear the Superadio badge to be
considered a true Superadio?

Grumpus

When it comes to the GE models, yes. Other radios they made that look
similar to the Superadio series are actually quite different circuit-wise.
Though you may experience performance levels above many other portables
(primarily because of the larger loopsticks), the basic chassis is pretty
much the same as any other small portable, or an IC pocket radio. Adding
larger antennas to those other portables will often bring their performance
up to these higher levels (think of what a loop antenna does for most
portables, it doesn't make so much difference on a properly aligned SRI or
II {there's no such thing as a properly aligned SRIII...})

[KEN8038]

>Ken, do a Google search for "The Super Radios By G.E.";

Thanks for the tip (and thanks to the others that provided information too),

So...
Is The Performer the same as the 7-2875A (which is in the picture with several
other GE radios on that site)?. Thanks again.

the 603/903 is a lousy radio in my opinion. I own the 603. It is
completely deaf (or nearly so) in the extended AM band (above 1600).
I bought the 903 and found it to have nearly no sensitivity across the
whole band...returned it the next day for another one which was the
same. I had to crank volume to nearly max just to hear locals
stations. Something tells me that these radios are coming out the
factory without the final adjustments being tweaked, etc. Anyway, the
Superadio III is a much better radio. The 603/903 does have better
dial alignment.

To answer your question. The 603 is better than 903. But I wouldn't
have either one.
