All these guys Know SWR; antennas, ground, Pre amps, Scanners; frequencies,
propagation, ALL of it

Radio Shack is good for Cell phones & other cheap, tacky geegaws;
- maybe batteries in a pinch

- totally useless for SWR radio stuff

Ask them what " Radio Shack" means;

you just get a spaced out stare..

Speaking of Radio Shack, I was real disappointed in their sales people
a couple of weeks ago when I purchased their SW antenna kit. I'm an
electronics dummy so I asked them some very basic questions about
hooking the antenna up to my Sony 7600GR....like hooking up the lead
in wire to a plug (which I bought from them) that has a hot pin and a
ground sleeve. They had no clue. First they said hook it up to the
ground, then the hot, and finally both! This happened at two stores.
I remember not too long ago when their commercials bragged how their
salespeople were electronics experts....well, now they don't even know
the basics of the stuff they sell.
