Here's my review on this radio when I had one.
I don't know if I'm expecting too much from the Superradio or if
it's the nature of the newer generation of Superradios.
During the day, I use some of the following stations for testing
reception. I don't use my loop unless noted. All these stations
are 70 miles south of my location.
KSRK, 540 AM, Carmel Valley. The Superradio had slightly better
reception than my Dx-398
KIDD, 630 AM, Monterey was a different story. I heard KFRC 610 AM
with low audio. If I used my Torus loop then I could receive KIDD.
I can pick up this station on my DX-398.
KSCO, 1080 AM, Santa Cruz. I would either hear the audio from
KTCT, 1050 AM or KFAX, 1100 AM. I tried using my Torus loop with
no luck. I normally listen to KNX 1070 at night for the drama
hour, KSco Saturday afternoons for The Golden Age of radio with my
Dx-398.
Using my 27 inch Torus loop with the DX-398, I get better
selectivity than the Ge Superadio, direct frequency access, great
sensitivity!
