Since you do not have access to Radio Shack cost information nor do you
know how direct and indirect overhead is allocated within the RS
system, what is the basis for this "fact".

I bought one (was going to buy two, to have one
new-in-the-box, forever), but when I got it home, the plastic display
cover had a blemish; of course, the RS salesman lied to me and said
that it was new-in-the-box - RS is just as sleazy as
Eton/Grundig/Tecsun !
Maybe it turned out for the best, because the tuning knob felt, as if
it was
goint to fall off, and the buttons were so small, as to be too
annoying.
Also, with the continued demise of SW, what in the Hell was I thinking
!

Assuming this really happened, which I seriously doubt. Is your idea
of entertainment stopping by a radio shack store to look over in great
detail and buy a radio that you thoroughly detest? You have odd ways
of keeping your self entertained. The welfare check must have come
today.

I've never heard of any senior software engineers, in the Intelligence
Community, having to take welfare. Anyway, I saw a review of the Eton
E5, I believe on RadioIntel.com, and it looked like almost an exact
match (same side switches and case), as the Degen 1103. I am curious,
why anyone would spend $150 for a RS E5, when they could get the
Degen for $65 delivered ?

Why would a senior software engineer, in the "Intelligence Community" buy what
they've already said was a bad piece of equipment to begin with?

Allow me to follow that up with an observation that you are perhaps a 'senior
'tard boy' in a 'group home community' who possesses very little 'intelligence'.

I've never heard of anyone intelligent in the intelligence community
announcing their status on a public message posting system.

I have upset all of you again !

You're a sad, sorry, little man. You have my pitty.

There's also the case of the new electonics smell, that we all cherish,
when we open up a radio, for the first time.
That may be the deciding factor, whether a radio is new,
"new-in-the-box", or old, "new-in-the-box", In the case of the lucky
gentleman that has a DX-440, "new-in-the-box", if the box is not
sealed in plastic, and has lost its new electronics smell, we could
still say it's, "new-in-the-box". My RS radios' boxes were not sealed
in plastic, but appeared untouched by human hands, so I can say
cautiously that they are, "new-in-the-box". The RS sleazy salesman said
that he had an Eton E10 sealed in a plastic box, which I would have
kept as backup, but I was unable to find another one sealed in a
plastic box, so it may have been touched by someone else, and thus
would have not been, "new-in-the-box". If I had a new radio unsealed
in a plastic box, then I would hesitate in opening the box to look at
the radio, because it would lose some of its smell and be less,
"new-in-the-box" How does one deal with such dilemmas ?

You all still didn't give me any solutions to these dilemmas.
