You must be going to the wrong Radio Shacks. I saw stereos and TV's
all over the place when I went in.


The last 4 Radio Shacks I've frequented had, perhaps 2-3k of floor space.
The last one I was in was appx. 20' wide and 150' in length. There's no way
such a store could carry a wide selection of TVs, stereos, computers, ham
gear, etc.


In theory, Radio Shack should be in a much better position to sell
ham equipment than HRO provided they could sell it. If you don't
believe in economy of scale, look at Wal-Mart and get back with me.


Radio Shack isn't Walmart.

Maybe if the typical Radio Shack had the floor space of a Walmart, you might
have a point.

They do not, nor will they ever.
