During my search, I did end up on some site that claimed I could buy a
manual, at a cost of more than I paid for the device. This device is not
in need of repair, but I am not fully understanding how to use it, which
is why I hoped to get a free manual. Looks like I either pay too much
for a manual, or just use the trial and error method. As far as a free
manual, I guess I am S.O.L.
Radio Shack was once a good company. Yea, they did lack a good selection
of parts, and some of their stuff was over priced, but their radios and
other devices were generally worth the cost and RS had really good
support as far as getting free manuals and parts for their devices. I
knew they had gone bankrupt, but did not know they were now owned by
Sprint. What I do know, is that in the last decade or so, it seemed
their whole business was geared around cellphones. Now I know why. But
the cellphone business is no longer what it was. It's leveled off. THere
is a lot of competition, and most people now have phones and aside from
upgrades, there are few new customers, and less profit to be made since
costs are way down.
The nearest RS to me, lost their cellphone business. They said that was
80% of their business. They were facing a shutdown, but opted to become
an appliance store, and still carry RS products in the back of the
store. But the shelves are pretty bare now. I wonder how long that will
last???? I bet it wont last long....
