Radio Shack Pro 2011 scanner schematic
Throw aways:
Actually I saw that coming about 20 years ago with the works in a drawer by magnovox. I ordered a surface mount hearing kit from Ramsey!! Had to use a toothpic and super glue the components into place before I could solder them! Back then the flex monuted magnifier was saficient, now ,it requires a jewlers loop to see them!!.. However GRE should have offered to fix mine as it was the GRE 400/500 .They never answered my email?? Oh well I'll catch someone who wants to tinker or find a junk one in a pawn shop?? |

Well, there has been a lot of useful technical progress but I am a little bit bothered by this trend to _also_ (besides not being able to fix anything because it is 'throw away") the trend to make stuff so that it actually has to be fixed by bringing the unit in for some kind of aftermarket repair, adjustment, etc., and it costs some money in addition to the inconvienience. Cell phone viruses, for example, are known and the stories say they are already out there (one will drain your battery on you), and, so as we get more web access via PDA-type devices, what do you do if your thing starts acting up? Go to a URL and download a "fix" and if the virus fixes it so you can 't do that, then you have to send in your whole thing with $100 or so to have _them_ fix it? This is about what it's going to start taking soon. |
