Yes,
I've noticed the trend for several years; it looks like they are going to be
carrying mainly home entertainment and cell phones. It's a shame, really, but
they have to go where the market is, and people just don't repair or build
things anymore.
One
point I agree with is that the store personnel have little knowledge of the
merchandise they sell, except maybe for cell phones and batteries. This has been
the case for many years. When I go to Radio Shack to buy a part, sometimes,
when they ask, I'll tell them what I need it for (a repeater, two-way radio,
etc), just for the satisfaction of seeing the confused looks or to
impress them.
When
Radio Shack stops selling parts, I'll have to mail order
everything.

Bashing Radioshack won't help, I've been a manager of one for over 6 years. Most don't understand the inner workings of Radioshack. They are a changing store, and it will be soon that they will not carry any parts at all. I'm told consistantly that my store knows more than any Radioshack for within 100 miles, but then I play with this stuff for fun. As I said, Radioshack drives on one thing, and that is Cellphones. From the inside, you now have the rest of the story.Mathew
