Ya.. I've seen that monster before. It's quite a sight. And believe me, most of
the corperate big-wigs have their head sticking where the sun don't shine,
too... I cannot see why they got rid of their core market by not stocking in
their stores the equipment needed to push sales. i.e. HAM... At the time I
worked there, they had 2 available HAM radios, both handheld. They had small
selection of connectors and some cable... I tried like hell to get our District
Mgr to let us bring some more stuff in, but he refused saying "It will never
sell"....
