- the company no longer lists any transceivers, and appears to have
dropped its only HT from the on-line catalog
Given the proliferation of mail order ham radio stores and their
competitive pricing, and the fact that few Radio Shack employees can
meet the "you got questions, we got answers" brag in regard to ham
radio, I wouldn't be surprised if RS gave it up.
On the other hand, maybe they're simply cleaning out stock for the
publication of their next catalog...

- there are still some accessories for sale, but all seem to be
third-party
- it looks like the sell-off (which began several years ago) is now
complete: no HTs, no mobile VHF/HF units, and no more amateur radios
- but you can get your NASCAR scanner, belt accessories and headphones!
(and a cellphone and satellite TV service)
whoo hoo!
:P
