Time to get real and stop whining.
In case you haven't noticed: SWL'ing, ham radio is dying...the demand
just
ain't there anymore! Why would any retailer stock a shortwave radio in
this
day-and-age?
Step into a Radshack store...what do you see? Stuff that makes them
money:
cellphones, cell accessories, home theatre.....NOT SHORTWAVE RADIO....
DUGH.
If you want a freakin' radio so bad....get on the Internet and search one
out.
I'm sick of this "boo-hoo Radio Shack doesn't stock my favorite items like
they did 30-years ago" crap.
This is 2004, not 1974!
Do you see shortwave radio's in the Sears and JC Penney catalogues like
you
did in 1974? Of course not! Why would the shack be any different? Why
would the Shack want to continue to cater to a bunch of cry-babies that
want
an outdated product like a shortwave radio!
Get real.
Perhaps if they stopped calling themselves Radio Shack, if they aren't going
to sell RADIO's or RADIO parts anymore. As others have said, if all they are
going to sell is cell phones, then they should change their name to Cell
Shack.
