Hi Bill: Forgot to answer the second part of your question. The Super Radio III has a huge ferrite, and so for pure signal pulling power, there really isn't a whole lot of competition. However, the SR3 may have poorer selectivity than the 39/59. The 39/59, with its native selectivity and excellent nulling ability, can get good readability 10 khz away from a 50 kw local, whereas my memories of the SR3 were otherwise. Plus, during the nighttime hours, the 39/59 units do very well with their modest ferrite bars.
The 59 was compared with the Sony ICF-2010, which also has a huge ferrite as in the SR3. Check out "A Tale of 3Sonys" in the Ultra-light files area. 73 - Kevin > how do they compare with > the ge super radio III?
