Hi Phil, I do agree, I avoid that place. years ago I had two bad experiences. I purchased some antenna mounts. When installing the antenna I gave one more quarter turn and the mounts shattered. They were made of white metal. A little while later I purchased a patch cord. I could not get one cable to work. I cut into it and found that there was no wire inside the insulation. Subsequently I never went back.

I am sure you all remember my dilemma concerning the nickel cadmium batteries that wouldn't take a charge. Why how could I even think you wouldn't remember, parish the thought. Anyway, I returned to radio shack the four that wouldn't take a charge and was given four more with the same condition. Last Saturday I took the second package back and ask, o dear, what could the matter be. The young fellow at the shack informed me they had been having trouble with the batteries in question. He determined that two of the batteries I returned were good and two were bad. I was given four that according to them are all good so, time alone will tell. Point is, why wasn't I informed of the problem when I brought the first ones back. Or better then that, I should have been told at the time of the initial perches. It is this kind of thing and the fact that they charge around 4$ for a small length of wire with two connecters on each end that brings me to this conclusion. With in five years their will be no more radio shacks. Agree, or disagree, Phil Parr.
