Try to buy a decent portable AM-FM radio in a Radio Shack.
Not that you can purchase one anywhere, but one would think that an outlet with the name Radio in it would offer something better than a once $5.00 Dollar radio for less than $40.
Not.
The selection of radios there was very small when I was shopping so I continue to use a 30 year old boom box when I sit outside in warm weather.
If I remember correctly, and I’m getting old so I don’t remember correctly a lot, Radio Shack hit the market when CB Radios were the craze. They stocked all brands and accessories. That may have been the “radio” in Radio Shack.
