Default Old Radio Shack Catalogs

There are plenty of Radio Shack stores all over the world. They
just don't do the catalogs any longer.


Unfortunately, they don't do much Radio either.


No one does these days. Analog Radio is ancient technology. People
today want digital: computers, cameras, audio, TVs, cell phones.
Radios are in the same boat as party line dial phones, picture tube
non-HD TVs with rabbit ears, vinyl records, 8 track cartridges and
cameras that use film. IOW, quaint antiques.

When "digital radios" (wifi or wimax devices that "tune" digital
internet/satellite/whatever "radio stations") become a reality, "radios"
will sell again.

If you think about it, radio is the only consumer electronics item that
*hasn't* gone digital.


All radio is analog during the wireless phase.
