RadioShack Corporation (formerly Tandy
Corporation) (NYSE: RSH) is a chain of
electronics retail stores in the United States, as
well as parts of North America, Europe, Central
America, South America and Africa. As of 2003, it
has more than 6,000 stores in the USA and reported
net sales and operating revenues of $2.24 billion.
RadioShack briefly reopened stores in Canada after
losing its former subsidiary InterTAN (independent
since 1986) to a purchase by Circuit City in 2004.
However, in December 2006, RadioShack Canada
announced it would be closing its nine corporate
stores to focus on strengthening its core business
in the US. The head office of RadioShack is
located in Fort Worth, Texas. RadioShack is also a
sponsor for the Samsung/RadioShack 500 NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.
RadioShack's current proprietary brands besides
RadioShack branded products include Accurian
(audio and video equipment and accessories),
Enercell (batteries and power accessories),
Gigaware (personal computer accessories), Kronus
(tools), MyMusix (MP3 players), Optimus (formerly
audio and PA/DJ equipment, now used for digital
cameras), Presidian (audio and video equipment,
telephones, flashlights, calculators, and 2-way
radios), VoiceStar (wireless phone accessories).
Discontinued brands include Archer (wiring and
antennas), Duofone (telephones & accessories),
Micronta (scientific and educational equipment)
and Realistic (sound equipment).
RadioShack History
RadioShack - The first 40 years
The company was started as Radio Shack in 1921 in
Boston, Massachusetts, by two brothers, Theodore
and Milton Deutschmann who wanted to provide
equipment for the cutting-edge field of amateur,
or ham, radio. Theodore and Milton Deutschmann
opened a one-store retail and mail-order operation
in the heart of downtown Boston on Brattle Street,
near the site of the Boston Massacre. They chose
the name "Radio Shack," which was a term for the
small, wooden structure that housed a ship's radio
equipment. The Deutschmanns thought the name was
appropriate for a store that would supply the
needs of radio officers aboard ships, as well as
"ham" radio operators.
The company issued its first catalog in the early
1940s and then entered the high-fidelity music
market. In 1954, Radio Shack began selling its own
private-label products under the brand name
Realist, but was subsequently sued and
consequently changed the brand name to Realistic.
After expanding to nine stores plus an extensive
mail-order business, the company fell on hard
times in the 1960s. Radio Shack was essentially
bankrupt, but Charles Tandy saw the potential of
Radio Shack and retail consumer electronics and
bought the company for $300,000.
Tandy Corporation
Main article: Tandy Corporation
Radio Shack's old logo, used from 1974 to 1995.
In 1963, Radio Shack was purchased by the Tandy
Corporation, which was originally a leather goods
corporation, and renamed Tandy Radio Shack &
leather. Tandy eventually divested itself of its
non-electronic product lines.
Tandy (through InterTAN) also operated a chain
similar to RadioShack in the UK under the "Tandy"
name from the 1970s until the late 1990s. The
stores were sold to Carphone Warehouse in 1999,
and over the next few years were converted to that
format, or sold off.
Tandy entered the Australian market in 1973. In
2001 Woolworths Limited acquired the Australian
operations and merged them with their Dick Smith
Electronics business.
During the 1960s through the 1980s, Radio Shack
marketed its free battery card; a wallet-sized
cardboard card, free, which entitled the bearer to
free batteries when presented at one of their
stores. The bearer was limited to one a month,
although many customers would frequent several
stores with several cards every month. These cards
also served as generic business cards for the
salespeople in the 1980s; the "battery club" card
was still used until the company-wide changes in
the early 1990s.

| Radio Shack Scanner: Pro-91 |
 |
The RS Pro-91 is one of my older, but reliable,
police scanners. It is capable of trunking and
can store 150 channels. Overall, this is one
tough scanner; even though I have dropped it many
times, gotten it soaking wet, and left it in my
car with the outside temperature being over 100
degrees Fahrenheit, it has always worked perfectly
(except it sometimes says "low battery" when the
batter is not actually low). The Pro-91 is, ". .
. designed to track Motorola Type I and Type II
(such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus) and hybrid
analog trunking systems, which are extensively
used in many 800 MHz communication systems"
(Pro-91 Manual). It has 5 storage banks that hold
30 frequencies each. It also has a backlight that
stays on for about 15 seconds at a time. I think
when I got this a few years ago, it cost $150.
Pro-91 information can be found at:

The book shown at the end is the 10th edition of
Northwest Frequency Directory (NWFD) edited by Dan
Rollman and published by Scannerstuff LLC. This
book has frequencies for all over the United
States, not just the northwest. Not only does it
have public safety channels and talkgroups for
police, fire, and medical; it also has business
frequencies, airplane frequencies, federal
government frequencies, amateur radio frequencies,
radio codes, terms, maps, background information,
and more. I highly recommend it for people who
want to be or are radio monitors. For more info

private conversations recorded in the background.
