Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
Great, now I can trash the gift card that I got for Christmas. Much like buying my own glass at a local craft brewery for $30.00 and have them go under two weeks later. Merry Fscking Christmas. Where's the Tylenol.

I said craft brewery, not crap brewery. Proper syntax if you please, what ever that means.

it looks like they hope to keep some of the stores and sell some off. sprint and amazon have been named as potential suitors (amazon has been opening brick-and mortar presences of various sorts, usually pop-up spaces and mall kiosks ... they just opened a pick-up/drop-off point at purdue university).
were i to judge the existing locations in san francisco, the crap locations are *really* crap, and the good locations are *really* good. not sure how this will sort out.

have seen this coming for a while now....ever since they got rid of most components & concentrated on
selling cell phones....
only real bummer about this is that the local RS owner is a ham who managed to keep a small stock
of parts.....will have to use my Mouser account from now on I guess....

Buy 'em if they got 'em.
Now will be a dandy time to pick up the odd spare part or tool they have in stock. I recall the "closeout tables" (on which many discontinued components were offered at what amounted to giveaway prices) being set up at various phases of the company's life cycle. Usually right before they did something monumentally stupid, like getting away from their core competencies and trying to be "....just like everyone else...". Ad infinitum.
Long live the DX series! Many prospective hams got into the hobby via receivers such as these:

I think I have one of those around here, waiting for me to replace the lamps. Need to get that done before the next hamfest....
