ATS-909 missing from Frye's / Outpost
In a previous thread, Corbin Raye posted this link to Frye's for the
909: http://shop1.outpost.com/product/2524991 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? |

Probably. Rumors about it being discontinued have gone around periodically
since a few months after it was released. It's like the end of the world, keep predicting it and at some point, you will be right. "Kierkecaat" wrote in message ... Is there any news about the 909 being discontinued/new model? |

Because of the low volume of world band radio
sales, I'm frankly surprised that Fry's carries these radios at all. Last time I was in a Fry's store, they had the ATS-909, 606, and 505 in stock. Also, the YB 400 and 300 radios were being offered. It seemed like a lot of wasted shelf space on slow moving product. I am sure Sangean, Grundig and Sony will re-evaluate and streamline their respective product lines, at least the stuff that's offered in North America, especially "if" the new Eton/Grundig 900 radio is highly successful. You notice that Grove Enterprises only sells 3 portables off their website and nolonger carry Sony radios. Tom Welch |

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

They have obviously sold out of the radio. Darn it. I really wanted one, and
if I had known they were getting rid of it, I would have gotten one even at $149, but especially at $129. Here's their list of portable radios, and the old 909 isn't there any longer: http://shop4.outpost.com/category/Ou...Portable+Radio |

Grove dropped the Sony line mainly because they (Sony) was dictating to online dealers how they could advertise. They wanted the dealers to stop listing the prices online. If the dealers didn't comply, Sony threatened to not send enough new stock to fill the dealers orders. Grove decided it wasn't worth it. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

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. Mark Zenier |
