GE SuperRadio III--as a tuner.

[stereofisher]

I moved in June about ten miles north here in Ulster County in southern NY. We lost FM on cable in my old location and I put an antenna in the attic to get WQXR's FM repeater. Thought I would get it in my new home as we have an outside TV antenna with a rotator. Not listenable. Not on my receiver or the portables. Got a nice NPR station from Connecticut but no WQXR. \

One night I was playing with my Zenith TA 3000 and it got it! The Zenith drifts for about 30 minutes and settles down. Sounds like a job for a GE Superradio III. Did not have one as I give them away to needy friends. Got a used one off Ebay and threw a set of batteries in her and a good solid signal No drift. Figured I would try it on my Pioneer QX 8000 and run it as a tuner off its ear phone jack. Not bad for a poor mans tuner!! Makes a good AM tuner. I listen to AM 740 CHWO a lot and it sounds pretty good even on AM. Very little drift on Fri night (10-6-06) Funny how radio varies. Kind of crummy Sat night after having a good signal the night before. Finally got a cool AM tuner of sorts.

Anyone try this? Eric
