[Scan-DC] GRE Scanners ?

[Andrew Clegg]

No doubt! My local Radio Shack is absolutely useless. They are in a mall.
When I asked them some time ago why their store was slowly but persistently
getting rid of all hobby-type electronics in favor of cell phones, satellite
TV, and other mass-market big-box stuff, the salesman told me that Radio
Shack was doing that with most of their mall stores because of the different
clientel in a mall vs a standalone store. What a shame. Even the standalone
stores seem to be dumbed-down now. I'm old enough to remember when all Radio
Shacks had walls-full of electronics parts, beginners kits, shortwave
radios, scanners, Forest Mimms books, etc.

   I can tell you the reason.  Radio Shack wants to get out of the radio
business and be a Best Buy and Circuit City
wannabe.....computers...wif-fi...audio...tvs, etc.
They need to change their name to Computer Shack.  With no Radio Shack
as a distributor, GRE decided to go it alone and it probably will be a
blessing in disguise for them.
