Hello friends
I am wondering why Radio shack has gotten away from aggressively
marketing scanner radio's? There was a time that i could walk into any
radio shack. And they had every model that they carried at the time up
and running and took the time to show you how they worked.. I don't know
about your Radio shacks. But the ones around here don't even have them
on display! They are in their boxes behind the counter. How are you
going to sell a scanner in a box behind a counter? Our community could
have scanners flying off the shelves in the days leading up to the "G8"
summit. Especially with the assistant county police chief in a public
meeting related to the summit urging people to buy a scanner so they'd
know what was really going on around town in the weeks leading up to and
during the summit. I encourage you to point your browsers to
Here in Calgary Alberta Canada, finding a scanner at Radio Shack is
impossible, the only one they carry is the Uniden Trunk Tracker hand
held, and it must be specially ordered. Radio Shack, in Canada, many
years ago, had all kinds, and were quite knowlagable about them, now
they just give a dumb look.
