If you buy it at Radio Shack & it has a warranty, they will do their best to
honor it. The new storage system for parts sure is better for us with
bifocals.

Their demise has been predicted for more than 30 years...
Some of the store help are very knowledgeable, some are not.

Problem with that scenario is most and I'd dare say a majority of the RS

substitute one value for another. They were good when they sold parts,
the
other stuff was for the "other" people - not into Electronics. I'm
talking
the toys and gadgets. For anyone wanting to go in for parts only - it has
seriously lost its touch.

The manager of the Radio Shack I went to before I moved here, was a ham.
All of the employes knew radio (swl or scanners), electronics or
computers.
