RadioShack Returns To U.S....

I truly doubt, given what they were showing at CES, that the Radio Shack we all knew and loved is ever coming back. Sure there might be some retail presence but think AliExpress style electronics with the RS logo slapped on it. Certainly not scanners, antennas, parts.

My Pro-2004 and HTX-202 are still working great.
I would like to find a battery pack for the 202, but until then, I'll rebuild the one I have with new rechargeables. Didn't they also have an empty case you could put your own alkalines in?
I wish I kept one of these...

You may not like the price for an old radio like that, but for $45.00 Amazon sells new ones...

I saw that. I don't see a charger connection on it. Is it the pack where you put alkalines in? That's the one I'm looking for.

It has a little rubber cover on it (lower left-hand side.

Wasn't the 202 just an Icom ?
Guess my post is a dupl, not sure why I could not see the other responses.
