I had to return about 5 TV monitors one time years ago. Every single one I got had something wrong with it. Sometimes the electronics gods just aren't looking out for you. I've got Uniden radios 15 years old that still work fine though.

I Think you are right I got a uniden and at first it sucked then I realised that it wasn't the radio that sucked it was me that sucked at electronics. And now that I read the book it all makes since alittle , but I will soon get it. Also I have had a lot of problems out of the radio shack scanners and I had to take 6 of them back before I could get a good one later found out they was giving me scanners that was the display scanners that everyone had handeled in the store and had been droped several times due to customer handeling them. I got a pro164 now and works real good .DPD1 said:I've never been a huge RS fan, but still sounds like maybe you've had bad luck. That's happened to me a few times when it comes to electronics.

I haven't bought a Rat Shack radio in probably fifteen years now. Did they ever get somebody who actually speaks English to start writing their user manuals? :lol:rabidmoose57 said:I've run Radio Shack stuff for 32 years now. No real problems except for my skills in understanding the manual!
You really gotta watch the guys in some of those outlets. I'm not saying all are shady, but seems like a lot are. I went to get a G5 from them a while back. The one near me had one out. I told him I'd take one. So he walks over and starts putting the one on display on the counter and ringing it up. I said... I don't want that one, I want a boxed one. He looks at me like I'm a total a$% and goes in the back... Comes back out and says they don't have anymore. I said... OK, well can you call a couple others and see who does? The other guy pulls him aside and they have a little powwow. He tells me to hold on one minute, takes the radio in the back with him, then comes back out with a boxed radio and says he found a new one after all. I just started laughing at him and told him he must be use to getting some really stupid customers in there, and then walked out. I went to another store and found one.lugoffman said:I Think you are right I got a uniden and at first it sucked then I realised that it wasn't the radio that sucked it was me that sucked at electronics.
