scrap this piece of junk [Music] the design was in fact set up outdoors and hooked into a tv set i went through the channels and just as i anticipated it was not picking up the abc affiliate whtm which transmits on the vhf band this antenna model is known to not perform well for vhf what’s so ironic lags the structures were some truly good older antenna models despite my criticism of this antenna design i can comprehend why the owners decide to sell and display it it’s smaller sized and more consumer friendly the average individual doesn’t desire a huge antenna on their roofing despite the better efficiency or in this case acquiring the harrisburg abc affiliate the next style over had two-way radios and some diodes the next design had basically any kind of av cable television and adapter possible this used to be my preferred area due to the fact that i’m also a wedding event videographer and sometimes i would go to a wedding event and forget a specific audio cable television needed for the microphone during the event and there ‘d always be a radio shack neighboring i might stop at sadly that’s no longer the case another aisle featured merges battery ports and a bunch of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you think devices for mounting an outdoor antenna installing brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the same wall there were video cable televisions and devices some walkie-talkies phone wires phones themselves and smartphone accessories including this truly cool bluetooth cassette adapter it can’t be a radio shack without radios look at all of them styles in the middle of the store had car stereo accessories speaker wire ethernet cable televisions computer system cables blank media and whoa blank cassette tapes at this radio shack i can literally buy a cassette deck record onto a blank cassette and if the heads get dirty
