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!!

I would have to "guess" the stores are a franchise? I guess some store
owners don't want to sell them for some reason, who knows why. If that's the
case, who cares? Buy it online.
