Forget "Crap Shack" its not worth the aggravation, got ****ed with some
character in Hip Hop clothing following me around the store bugging me with
a book of cellphone, radio and credit card plans. All the parts were packed
up thrown in disarray into a bank's of draw's
I did my standard rant, this time thing's went a little different:

I went off on him with tech talk: LOOK THIS IS WHAT Im LOOKING FOR !..Blah
Blah Blah
the droid goes and calls the cops on me !!!
The stupid ass call 911 and told them I looked suspicious and was for asking
for Ferrets, eggs, and German diodes.
The 2 stupid 21 year old flatfoots then ask me if Im on any type of
medication then for ID. I explain that I am looking for parts to help my
nephew put together a crystal set, now they look even more confused

Get an account with Mouser www.mouser.com the hell with these stupid
A**holes !!

Well, I've posted my dilema on what I've been looking for but never got

an
answer, or at least one I could take in there so I decided today I WAS

coming
out of any rat shack with what I needed.......if I had to go to five of

them,
I was.

My two problems:
I needed an adapter or 'sleeve' to consistently keep plugged into my

external
antenna jack on my DX398. You'd swear I was speaking another language.

After
I spoke s-l-o-w-l-y- for the third time and still saw the constipated

looks on
the two faces in there I told them....."guys, go on and take care of the

other
customers, there was FIVE standing there with their new (I suppose)

picture
cell phones and they were pressing in codes. {?} That's what it looked

like.
Every now and then one of them would break away from the desk and go to

an
aisle I was in like I was a potential thief or something.

I know a thief can be anyone, but I'm professional and clean cut and

after the
FOURTH time of being watched 'kind words' from me were asked to them in

the
form of "I'm not gonna rip you off, then preceded to reach in my pocket

and
whip out a stack of bills, that got them to leave me alone (I think.) ;-)

But for anyone else that needs or wants to correct the problem I had, the

cat#
(that I kept asking for in here to no avail BTW;-) ) is #4202472 for the
adapter or actually a 'sleeve' so you can plug and unplug your antenna

without
wearing out your board.

The other problem was with my phones (head phones) my Optimus Pro 40

plugs
into an adapter and I was afraid (because it would have) put a strain on

the
headphone chord from being bent at an angle all the time or would have

strained
the board. So I found a 'stereo to stereo Right angle'.....so now I have

that
new piece plugged in and the other adapter into it....followed by the
headphones plug itself plugged into that. No more strains on any of those
jacks or the board and now I can always unplug my external antenna (like
everyone should) without worrying if it'd be the last time before the jack
would loosen or the board would crack.

Both of them work beautifully and I'm a happy camper, and those workers

are
ding dong heads. ;-)
