Absolutely unbelievable. How do they stay in business?


By selling new technology and gadgets, not 40 year old stuff. :-)

Seriously, there can't be too many people looking for CB radios these
days. I didn't even know you could still buy them new.

But it seems that in a store called, "Radio Shack", you could
reasonably expect the salespeople to know what a CB radio is.
