I was in my local RadioShack yesterday, and I didn't see any scanners. They had 3 or 4 handheld models last year. Is it just this RS or are they getting rid of scanners?

I didn't even bother. I don't like to ask the employees any questions. LOL.

The stores should be doing resets. Thats if they are doing what they are supposed to be doing, so they may have had the section off the floor temporarily while they moved some things around.

If your local store doesn't have any scanners, then you can bet that no one in that town wants any...

It depends on which store you're in - we have 2 nearby (one with scanners, the other without). So I'm told, it depends on the number of units they move (which is odd in my mind - because if you don't carry any, you're not going to move many).

It’s just another screwy management technique - personally, I don't shop their stores anymore (I'm waiting for them to get back on track again). Even the small items I would purchase frequently are no longer available in the stores (the little %$#%$# ^%^%$ behind the counter told me to shop the Inernet Store) - so, I took my business elsewhere.

Our Radio Shack has scanners. Pretty weird.
Yes our Shack has about every model listed on the website, what was even more amazing was the young lady I asked this morning for a 2096 actually knew what it was and went straight to them.

What are the scanner models they are still selling?

I know of: 83,84,94,96,97,99,428,533,2052,2055,2096. Would that be about the whole list?

I actually work at a store here in the Dallas area, and I have not heard anything about the company dropping their scanner line. We still receive software updates for scancat on our store systems, so i dont think we will get rid of scanners any time soon
