I don't think this radio was worth the money at all. Very disappointed. It doesn't do anything different than my $19.00 CD player with radio does.

I listen to Rush but couldn't get the signal at work. With this radio, I am able to listen with a little interference but it's worth it. On other stations with good reception, the sound quality is excellent.

Excellent reception & sound quality as-is with its built-in antennae! Use a simple long-wire and a ground wire and re-discover those wonderful "Clear Channel AM Stations". The External Antenna posts are ready to use. Obviously, this is not a shirt-pocket radio & it definitely does not sound like one! Suggestion: Do a Google search for the "Clear Channel" stations & have fun Dxing!

It has the best and most powerful AM section of any radio regardless of price. I use these radios strictly for AM; I didn't buy the radio for it's FM qualities. It pulls in more stations than I could listen to in a lifetime.

I purchased this radio to use at work. I had tried several radios in my office, but hadn't found one that would receive my favorite AM or FM stations. My office is located close to a mountain and radio reception is sometimes poor even for strong stations. I read reviews on numerous products that boasted good reception and noticed that many compared radios in the $120 to $175 price range to the Super Radio. The Super Radio being priced at about [$], seemed to be worth a try before spending at least three times the money. It only took a few days to arrive after ordering. I am very pleased with the reception. It pulls in AM stations clearly, that on other radios used to produce constant static. The FM reception is good too. The Super Radio has a large speaker that produces very good sound. I would recommend this radio to anyone that likes to listen to AM stations and is troubled with poor reception. It's a great value.

We live in the state of Wyoming and go fishing out in the boonies - we needed a radio that would be easy enough to take with but still get a good, quality sound and this product does all that we ask!

I bought the radio for my mother who moved to South Eastern Mass from Boston and still wanted to listen to talk radio from Boston but could not find a radio good enough for evening listening. Right out of the box it worked great and does everything expected of it. I am now back home in SD and am buying another one for myself.

The SUPER Radio gets great reception in the office, even with the flourescent lights. That was why I bought it...and I am NOT disappointed

It's a great radio but the tuning bar is hard to see there should be led's behind the bar so that frequency will show up.

This is actually the 3rd Super Radio I've owned. The first two were GE's that I gave to family a few years ago; now I have the RCA (as well as other family members without one). I haven't found a great deal of difference between the GE and RCA versions. Big clear sound. Big AM and FM reception. Easy to use controls. Since its not digital, when its off its off and prolongs battery life. Built in wall plug is a plus. Long battery life makes it a good candidate for an emergency radio as does its long range reception. I've never used the external antenna connections. Like I said in the review head line, "Under-rated radio" - I care about AM radio and have others. The Super Radio is a real champ. HTH Dave in Oregon

This is actually the 3rd Super III I've owned. I gave the other two to family some years ago. Now have a replacement (and other family members without one). Big sound, great reception, with OK construction and a reasonable price. Non digital, so when its off, its off and not draining the batteries. The built in wall plug is a nice plus over a separate cord and transformer. Very long battery life on 6 "D" cells makes it a good candidate for a home based emergency radio as well.

The overall sound quality of this radio is awesome. I have higher-end radios that do not perform as well in sound quality and am/fm reception.(AM reception is unreal) A little heavy when using batteries. Controls are straight-forward and easy to use. On/Off switch could be a little better.

This radio has good sound quality and provides good reception in remote areas...we feel this radio will be used for years to come as was our previous one.

I am a talk radio fan and am living in the middle of nowhere so this comes in handy for entertainment.

I use it for AM talk radio. The reception is excellent but it does not have the far range that it advertises.My other radio easily received a Kentucky station that I listened to at nite, this radio pretty much just gets about a 300 mile range.The clear sound makes up for the loss in range. I would recommend it. Good portable radio when just using batteries.

The office I work in is notoriously bad for radio reception. I have tried 3 previous radios and none of them have been able to receive the stations I listen to. Most recently I purchased a Sangean radio because the customer reviews I had read indicated that it had the best reception among the standard group of moderately priced radios (Boston Acoustics, Tivoli). When I took it to the office, the Sangean couldn't pick up any channels. This is not a knock on the Sangean, the other radios I had brought in didn't work any better. After I returned the Sangean, I was surfing the net for other alternatives, reading reviews on Sony and CCR world radios, when I noticed a sentence "Of course, I assume you have a Superradio". I did a search and found this radio. [...] Bottom line: I took the radio to my office and was able to pick up most anything, including several stations that were more than 100 miles away. For [$], you can't beat the value. Every other radio I had looked at was well over [$]. [...]

This is an awesome radio! The price is just right. The reception is amazing. Clearity like no other. It pulls those scratchy long distant stations in and really pin points them... Can't go wrong with this purchase.My only complaint would be of the radio dial. It's off calibration wheh you tune, so its as if your not directly on the station. This is a common issue with this radio but is no real big deal once you get used to it...

Disappointed in AM reception

I've owned five or six of these radios. I'm a drywall taper and I listen to the radio while I work. The price is right, it fits nicely behind the seat of my truck and the battery life is first rate. After a few months it gets covered with drywall mud and paint but it still works and sounds just fine. The only thing that hurts it is when I leave it in the bed of my truck and it gets wet. Then it usually dies. But that's my bad.

The only thing I could fault this radio for (and my old GE version had the same shortcoming)is a totally inaccurate tuning dial. I would think the engineers could fix this without too much trouble. Better would be a digital readout for tuning or best would be a digital tuner.

I have owned the older GE version of this radio for years and am happy with the RCA model. You can't beat it for reception in areas where other radios can't get a clear signal.

I just purchased my 5th and 6th SR-III. I can distinguish no change in performance since it became an RCA product. I've been a ham radio operator since 1964, and I've used dozens of radios. Aside from sloppy calibration, this radio has the sensitivity, selectivity, and audio that embarasses the much more costly Grundig, Sony, and Sangean radios, including the CC Radio. I frequent remote areas of west Texas and the SR-III consistently pulls in weak AM stations from throughout North America. This radio is a rock solid performer I take everywhere I go.
