Does your local Radio shack market scanners at all? Our local Radio
shack franchise store doesn't. .Even tho they were told to set up and
display a Radio shack Pro95. It sits there on a shelf unplugged. When I
go in and clone it they keep it on for the time being. When I leave it
looks like they unplug it and remove the batteries and leave the
batteries out. I go in to see how things are going with it. There it
sits unplugged. The memory is gone because they leave the batteries out
for extended periods of time. They were TOLD to market scanners. They
say they are trying. .They're not. Why can't they get a simple case. Put
a Pro95 Pro96 and Pro97 in it. Program them and you've done something.
You've put the Radio back in RADIO SHACK! YAY! Steve

When I got interested in getting a Pro-95, a couple of months ago, I
went into our local Radio Shack and asked to see one. I was told "We
don't sell scanners." I advised them that both the catalog and the web
site showed that the did. The clerk told me "Radio Shack has
discontinued doing scanner.....we can't get any more." I tried once
more--insisting that even if _they_ didn't have them, RS was still
selling them. Again the clerk said "We've tried. We can't even order
scanners any more, RC has discontinued them.

I drove nearly 50 miles to the next closest (I live way out in the
"sticks" up here in the upper left corner) RC where they had a large
display....told them the story and they almost didn't believe me until
they called my local store and inquired--and were told the same thing!!
