I love to torment Radio Shack Salesman. They always want to ask you what
you're using it for. It only ever takes about 6 seconds for the "deer in the
headlights" look when I tell them. Generally what I need takes visiting 4 or
5 stores in a 20 mile radius to get all the parts.
It should be "You've got questions....so do we..." clueless.

And, you'd not want to be one of their overworked installers either...oh
they have a sweet setup as far as corporate making money off the individual
stores....what a racket.

When I worked for Radio Shaft...one installer ONE...covered about 4
states...installing and servicing...on the road 3 weeks out of the month.

They charged 5000 BUCKS to the store for the installation of a 6112 and a
few other things...took the installer 4 hours to install.

Then they charged the store for monitoring, I cant remember how much but I
know it was more than 25 a month. Keep in mind they (RS) were doing the
monitoring too.

If you needed a repair you'd have to wait for the wandering installer/tech
to come around to your area again...this could be weeks.
