The only time I was in there was about that time frame. I didn't see them
and a store employee told me they didn't carry them. I guess I should have
looked harder.

The Fry's around here (Renton, WA) doesn't carry shortwave radios.

They did. Over in the components section between the batteries and
the wall of motherboards. Right front section of the store.

The first time I went there, a couple of weeks after they opened last
fall, they had a Grundig for about $150, but a big box computer store
in an industrial district is hardly a place to test it for DX capability.

They're pretty notorious for not restocking stuff, expecially if it
may not move off the shelves that fast.

The Fry's on Executive in Dallas has three 909s left at $129.90. I was
just there last night. It sort of ****es me off since I just bought it
there a few days ago for $149.90.

One is open box and the other two are unopened.

BTW, has anyone developed an elegant way to power this baby from a 12V
deep cycle battery using a buck converter or splitter? My ac adapter
causes too much noise where I try to use it.

It was listed at $149.00 and available yesterday.

Today it was listed at $129.00 and NOT available.

Now this link generates an error. hmmm?

Is there any news about the 909 being discontinued/new model?

Fry's has a policy where if you see it cheaper within X-amount of days,
they'll refund the difference.

I've personally long since learned never to ask anyone at Fry's any kind
of question. I usually get more dumb looks than at Radio Shack!

The only exception has been when I ask a service technician a question.
In THOSE cases, I can usually get a straight answer. But the "white
shirts?" Not likely.

Thank heaven for the local Ham Radio Outlet!

I found one more 909 at the Dallas Fry's (on Executive) that is priced
at $69. It is an open box or maybe even a demo. If it is the demo, it
is pretty rough externally but might be good functionally.
