Re: Radio shop in the Inland Empire???
Radio Shack? You mean the place that used to rule but now they don't know the difference between a AA battery and a AAA??!
While it's not the IE, you can try a trip down the 91 to HRO (Ham Radio Outlet) in Anaheim. 91 west to Euclid, south about a half mile, in a strip mall on the right. 933 N. Euclid, just south of La Palma. Looking at catalog I picked up, they've got a bunch of GRE scanners, as well as Uniden 396, 246, 996, 898. No prices listed for the Unidens, though.
Great place, took the non-ham wife there two weeks ago while on the way to Knott's. She loved it. Didn't buy anything, though.

This reminds me of the old RS slogan. "You've got questions, we've got answers" or something like that.ke6alv wrote:Radio Shack? You mean the place that used to rule but now they don't know the difference between a AA battery and a AAA??!
I think it is more like "You've got questions, we've got dumb looks."

Here's a link for The Ham Radio Outlet.

They have a nice online catalog that you can view in sections.The Radio Shack in MoVal
( Sunnymead & Heacock)does a great job. They are up on their scanners.The one in Perris is a waste of time unless YOU know what you are looking for.

Hey thanks for the great info! I will have to check them out sometime! I made my most recent purchase at scannermaster.com (New Uniden BC246T)
Seemed to be the cheapest at only $219. Although the shipping seems to take forever coming from the east coast :/
