Howdy group.. we've had chats on the reflector here about the RS cable, 1/8"
mono to serial, for programming scanners and... for ICOM users ... a way to
connect your CAT rcvr/xcvr to your computer. Anyway, I have ONE somewhere
in my stuff ... it works swell ... but I misplaced it and was looking for to
buy one of these on close-out at local Radio Shacks. Closest one that one
in stock was in Fortuna, a 50+ mile round trip from my QTH. Was there
today, went in and the young man immediately went to the rack and handed me
on, the yellow sale tag said $1.97 -- so ... I said, "are there any more?"
and he said, why yes, here's 2 more! So I took them all. "BUT WAIT" --
Here's the kicker ... at checkout, it turns out that RS has, thru June 3rd,
an additional 30% off Yellow Tag items .. so .. my cost, each .. $1.38!
Even with CA sales tax, my total was $4.44 FOR ALL THREE! Me be happy --
best get on RS site and put your zip code and see if you can get before they
are all gone! The 3 RS stores local were plumb out. I have 3 or 4 scanners
that use the same cable, too, as well as 2M / Duobander handhelds. Here's
URL for the item ...
