I miss my old ge super radio 2 i don't even know what happened to it but god I miss it it used to sit under my bed and i would reach down and turn it on it was soooo clear and picked up stuff that shouldn't hav been possible it out did my hf rig with 80 meter dipole and it outdid my pioneer fm tuner with a rooftop antenna with it's built in whip. adding the rooftop antenna didn't even help it strangely enough. when I had it I lived in Idaho Falls and could pick up kzdx burley which is a good 140+ miles away, and actually on a goo day could snag 107.9 out of salt lake 210 miles away th best radio I ever had though was a pioneer VSX 5500S STEREO RECEIVER with an out door antenna feeding just it the antenna was 20 ft up and pointed for salt lake. I could get several salt lake stations from 195 or so miles away from my parents place on the farm between shelley and Idaho Falls :) it was amazing back in the day before they added more station s to the IF market and saturated the area with noise and trash from a dirty transmitter that was never fixed
