[BC] GE Superadio III

[Mike McCarthy]

Once again Kevin, you show how narrow your view is on the matter.  It's the 
same public which forced the car radio people to narrow the passband of the 
current day receivers who will return the SR III to the retailer saying the 
signal is noisy 4 or more channels over in wideband mode.  THAT's not an 
abuse of the mask.  It's a nice broad RX which doesn't have the space or 
price point to include a better "wideband" filter.  And whose day is 
passing...unfortunately.  But true.
