Hmmm. They should take the word "Radio" out of the name of the stores. The store name should be "Shack." Sounds appropriate to me. Cheers, Al Link K4ICL RS has been pretty much useless to serious amateur radio ops ever since they did away with their Allied Radio (of Chigago) affiliation... 73 de W6DKN |

I have a RS store only two miles from my home and that makes it real good when I need a resitor or cap for a project. I don't think Radio Shack is useless and I'm a serious ham for 43 years.

Hi,
A few of the local rs stores here in raleigh nc are very good, many hams will work there during holiday season and one is managed by a current ham. The only turn off is I forget to stop at an atm so I can pay cash and not use any plastic so they can't track me ! I like http://mouser.com for most stuff, no min. order and FAST ship, and if I can wait, http://allcorp.com for misc cables and items. 73 gumby Radio Shack has parts that I cannot obtain without mail order or driving quite some miles. I have a RS store only two miles from my home and that makes it real good when I need a resitor or cap for a project. I don't think Radio Shack is useless and I'm a serious ham for 43 years. |

I use Mouser also, but when I only need one or two resistors which I may not have in my inventory Radio Shack usually comes thru. Hey, its a good thing..... Dale J. -- Dale J.
