  • The GE SuperStar 7-2850 Classic AM FM Portable Radio has that Go Fast Chrome Job. Does it live up to its Name? I take it through the Daytime AM band to see what it can do after all these years. Adding the Terk Passive loop to the mix helps it perform more like it's bigger brother, the Superadio.

    Overall, a Great looking radio with Excellent MW reception. The price on these are good on the secondary market. Expect to pay thirty USD for one in decent shape. Nothing quite replaces that smooth analog tuning experience, and the SuperStar heritage.

    I have to admit that I've always been a big fan of GE radios. I've had a quite a few of them over the years, and I've never had one that was a bad performer.

    I have an inordinate fondness for the 80s and 90s GE radios.

    I used to work in a gigantic food distribution warehouse, and the metal rack layout made receiving FM a real hassle. Many of us had the GE Super Radio because it just worked and was loud enough to hear over the usual warehouse noise.

    That's the exact radio I had and used and loved way back when. It was great.

    Nice Old School radio from back in the day! I own the GE Super Radio series 2 from the mid-90s that I pull out on occasion as it will pick up just about anything.

    The old GEs and Panasonics had the best sounding speakers, hands down!

    Hi Todderbert, I'm either up late or in the middle of the night. Thanks for your band scan. Wow, that's a very nice GE Superstar radio you have there. I love the look of it. One thing is for certain, they made nicer radios back then take care Todderbert and have a nice evening in Chicago.

    Fun to do the bandscans on the MW band. Back in my day we had all different types of formats across the MW band. In the late 1970s I had stations like WLS, CKLW, and even KAAY, which played hard rock and progressive rock overnight on something called “Beaker Street”. News was always on KMOX or WBBM. Even WCKY played a softer blend of music at night. And there’s always sports somewhere too. Unfortunately it’s not like that anymore on a lot of the stations mentioned here, among other. The Late Brother Stair is actually on a local station, which is a new low. Yes, MW has changed, big time. There are still some stations that are holdouts, like your 1500. Here, pretty much, 1220 is a classic rock station.

    That's a very nice 👍 radio 📻. Black speaker grille, and LED lights up front. Is it gold or silver colored? I cannot tell. Your friend, jeff.
