I was going through about ten years of ham catalogs, and I noticed a disturbing trend.

Steve "Morse or Re-Morse" wrote in message . net... There's an increase in recent years of ham gear Retailers offering an expanding amount of citizen band radios and related products. So Retailers have seen the changes in the type of people that are making up and will be making up the US ham population, and have modified their inventories and marketing to stay in step with it. Gotta keep selling them radio's, Ten-Four? Morse |

Gotta keep selling them radio's, Ten-Four? Well years back there were CB STORES everywhere, and places like Sears and Wards sold CB's, not anymore. Someone has to sell them. Very litle interest in CB these days, however its the only real way to try and communicate with other drivers on the road. greg |

Radio Shack. You got questions, we got blank stares. My 17 year old RS Optimus speakers gave up the ghost. I went into a Radio Shack and was told that not only does RS not sell speakers like that anymore, but speakers with one tweeter plus one mid-range plus one woofer were not even manufactured anymore and that it takes half a dozen modular speakers to set up a system nowadays. I went over to Fry's Electronics and found exactly what I was looking for from Cambridge Soundworks. The woofer only goes down to 40 Hz but for my karaoke system, that's good enough. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
