Wall street analysts have now predicted what the amateur radio community has seen for more than a decade, the demise of “Radio Shack”.
24/7 Wall St. has included “Radio Shack” in it’s list of companies that are certain to be non-existent by the end of 2011.
The just released list includes: Readers Digest, Kia Motors, Dollar Thrifty, Zale, Blockbuster,T-Mobile, RadioShack, Merrill Lynch and Moody’s.
Here is what they have to say about the end of Radio Shack:
“RadioShack is one of the oldest retailers in the U.S. It was founded in 1921 and in the early 1960s was purchased by Tandy Corp. The Tandy name was used for some of Radio Shack’s retail stores. RadioShack is currently a takeover target. There have been rumors that the company may be taken private via a leveraged buyout or purchased by Best Buy (NYSE: BBY – News), probably for its locations. Best Buy would certainly not keep the RadioShack brand because it is considered downscale and does not have the reputation for quality products and service that Best Buy enjoys. RadioShack has already begun to rebrand itself as “The Shack,” an indication that it knows the older brand is a burden.”

Let me know any comment, suggestions, or ideas to improve the website.
Looking for information on ham radio repeaters. Anything pertaining to repeaters. Conversions, , mods, tuning. Duplexer, feedline, antennas.
Email me and I will look at the info and post it on website with recognition to the senders.
Looking for input on Service Monitor operation: There’s alot of hams without professional knowledge on there operation.
Need detailed information on building a repeater for 1st time repeater builders. (Best repeater, radios, duplexer. antenna and so on.)
Echolink, IRLP, Digipeaters, Interfaces: setup and configuration on radios and computers.
Best place to buy, or find this stuff.
Especially looking for articles in LAYMEN terms. Things the average ham will understand.
There’s a lot of articles on conversions and tuning that don’t explain the process very well. Like using 2
radios to make a repeater, radio setup, controller setup, ect.
I’m not trying to repeat everything that’s already on other websites, but trying to simplify some of the things that maybe confusing.
