They don't sell American anymore...

They haven't since the 1970's. Their stuff is made in Taiwan, Korea,
the Phillipines...nothing new here.

They stay in business by selling overpriced cell phones, satellite Tv
subscriptions, and consumer electronic toys. Their other products such
as scanners, amateur radio gear, etc. is overpriced and not
competitive features-wise with other companies' offerings in those
markets, and their salespeople know basically nothing and are there to
try and sell you a phone.

My advice WRT Radio Scrap is, shop elsewhere, unless you are going in
at the end of the year when all their stuff is half price so they can
get rid of it to introduce next year's line - and then you might get a
bargain IF you kbow what you're doing and don't have to depend on the
sales people, and IF you're lucky and you can find what you want in
the store.

Radio Shack...you've got questions, we've got dumb looks.
