And I bet, no HD Radios either !

I'm no lover of RS and agree that they slowly circling the drain. However,
before people post this crap, you should go to their web site and look
before believing some urban legend web site. If you did, you'd see scanners
and shortwave. Not a lot but they are there.

I guess I didn't make myself clear. Radio Shack one of my favorite
stores. It's a great place to buy scanners and shortwave radios. They're
not about to quit selling scanners and radios.

The whole point of my original post is that Black Friday sales can be
excellent opportunities to get a great item (computer, game machine,
television, etc) at a fraction of its original price. All the top
retailers do Black Friday promotions: Wal-Mart, Sears, Best Buy, Circuit
City, Target, Kmart, Radio Shack, etc. And since Radio Shack sells
scanners and shortwave radios, sometimes Black Friday lets me can get a
great scanner or a great radio at a great price.

Just not this year.

You make yourself clear to normal people!

Man are you wrong about the prices. The Boston Accoustics HD radio they
are selling for $399.00 I can get one at an electronics store on line
for $224 with a $100 plus cut and a $75
rebate, making the final price $224. Man what a rip-off. Their prices
come no where near to
prices you can get at the large electronic discount houses. But you
have to search for these bargains, and they're are worth. I agree with
the guy who said their salesman know nothing about electronics. They
give you a strange look when you ask them simple basic questions.
So long Radio Shack!

The Black Friday website for Radio Shack shows a Pro-528 scanner listed
at $169 on sale for $99,

Umm, no. There are two radio items in the ad; here's what I sent to
the DXLD Yahoo group:

Hi, all!
Got a Thanksgiving sale flyer from Radio Shack yesterday in which
they list their special sale items for that day and the following
weekend. On the Friday/Saturday/Sunday page they list the
analog-tuning AM/FM/SW crank-up radio with flashlight and
cellphone charger #20-238 at $19.99; this one has the RS
name and not Eton on it, and the cosmetics are different from
the Eton models. Regular price is $39.99.

There is also a handheld scanner #20-528 at $99.99 (regular
$169.99); they don't mention what the model # is, not give
any details of the frequency coverage, but they do say it is
"Triple-Trunking" and has 1000 channels.

For what it's worth...

73, Will
