Asheville Radio Shack gets a gold star today

[AlphaFive]

Good news for Asheville, one of the city Radio Shacks gave me a flashback to olden times. I went in today not expecting to find an adaptor for the antenna jack on the back side of my 36 year old Pro 2020, but I figured it was fun to watch them when I asked for one...Well, not only was it there, so was RG 8 coax, cough, not 6. Now here's the kicker. Since I was on a roll I wanted to see if any scanners were on display. There was one Uniden 396, I slyly asked about a 436. The clerk knew what it was, and told me "yeah, the 396 isn't the newest, but it's close". A gold star for them...there is hope for Asheville.

As a former Radio Shack employee in my youth kudos to that specific store for
having someone behind the counter that knew more than which cellphone was on sale.
To show you how long ago it was that I worked for the company I remember selling the Pro 2006 on clearance at my location

Roger that, it made me happy. I still have a real attachment to the chain, when I started scanning, I relied on them for everything. Both information and supplies. I just figured everybody could use a little bit of good news today, take care
