What happened to RadioShack? Radioshack Awards
junk this piece of junk [Music] the model was in fact installed outside and hooked into a television set i went through the channels and just as i expected it was not getting the abc affiliate whtm which relays on the vhf band this antenna design is known to not carry out well for vhf what’s so ironic lags the buildings were some really excellent older antenna designs despite my criticism of this antenna design i can comprehend why the owners choose to offer and show it it’s smaller and more customer friendly the average individual doesn’t want a huge antenna on their roof in spite of the much better performance or in this case getting the harrisburg abc affiliate the next design over had walkie-talkies and some diodes the next style had basically any sort of av cable and adapter possible this used to be my preferred area since i’m also a wedding videographer and often times i would go to a wedding and forget a particular audio cable required for the microphone during the ceremony and there ‘d always be a radio shack close-by i could stop at unfortunately that’s no longer the case another aisle featured fuses battery ports and a lot of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you think accessories for installing an outside antenna mounting brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the exact same wall there were video cables and devices some walkie-talkies phone wires phones themselves and smartphone accessories including this actually cool bluetooth cassette adapter it can’t be a radio shack without radios take a look at all of them designs in the middle of the store had car stereo devices speaker wire ethernet cable televisions computer system cable televisions blank media and whoa blank cassette tapes at this radio shack i can actually buy a cassette deck record onto a blank cassette and if the heads get dirty
