The GE Superadios are among the best known and best performing AM/FM portable radios ever made anywhere near their price and have achieved cult status among knowledgeable radio hobbyists. The Classic 3 models included the original SR (Model 7-2880), the SR II (Model 7-2885) and the SR III (Model 7-2997).

Enter the little-known Digital Superadio (Model 7-2882A) introduced in 1982.  I don’t think many were made…perhaps the price was a bit much for an AM/FM portable radio at the time…the analog SR II retailed for $79.95 while the digital version sold for $139.95…those two 1982 prices convert to $257 versus $453 in 2024.

The Big Question: Is the Digital 7-2882A truly a Superadio? GE never called it a Superadio but it shares many attributes of those classic sets. We’ll take a look into this little-known radio to see if it measures up!
