I was referring more to that fact that Radio Shack once offered
anything at all of unique value.  I enjoyed browsing their stores back
then.  They had a reasonable selection of short wave radio receivers,
CB transceivers, and IIRC, even the occasional ham radio.  Free
battery of the month, and free flashlights during the holidays (with
coupon)!
