Over the years, people have debated about Radio Shack versus GRE scanner preference. Today, I had to send in my GRE PSR 500 for BNC repair. You can follow my posts for details.
So, I decided to fire up the old Pro 90. Yes, I realize that it did not survive re-banding; however, it makes a decent VHF receiver.
When I walked into Radio Shack, I asked for the familiar-looking battery pack with the pigtail. It was not there. When I asked the RS employee for help, he said, "it's been discontinued."
I know this is a fairly old radio, but this is ridiculous. This seems to be Radio Shack's modal response. I once attempted to find a replacement case for a Pro 2042 when it was around two years old. Same response, "it's been discontinued."
So, this is why I buy GRE.
