History of the Zenith Radio Corp, Part I: Karl and Ralph The company that would become the Zenith Corporation began quite literally inside a “radio shack”—a nondescript two-car garage in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood that served double duty as a makeshift assembly plant and broadcasting b...
On August 10th, I was rudely awoken by my phone at a very unsociable hour in the morning. Reports were coming thick and fast of a major terrorist alert within the UK, with the aviation industry being the prime target. Within minutes, the radio shack was fully operational and I began to...

The 'Science Fair AM Broadcaster Kit' (also from Radio Shack) could be modified in a similar fashion. Designed for a 9-volt transistor battery, this device could be run off of a 3.8VDC CB power supply. As we all remember from our high school electricity class, wattage (power) = ...
I really like this little am/fm radio with its own speaker. The unit is small and fits where ever I want to keep it. I prefer using a speaker to using headphones. The built in telescoping antenna receives more stations that two larger and more expensive radio shack am/fm radios I own...
Fast forward 15 years and another friend sent one to me because he wasn’t using it and thought I would like it. Well…I do! I’m not sure exactly how many years this model was sold but I found it in the 1968 Radio Shack catalog and the 1969 Allied catalog selling for $179.95 ...

Radio Shack is essentially out of the HD Radio business. A shame, since the Shack was one of the early supporters. Radio Shack has every one of its house brand HD Radio units on clearance. Add to that a steady stream of critical comments about HD Radio on the audio “gearhead” forums...
In the summer of 2006, I rebuilt my HAM shack as I did in the Summer of 2017 and completely rebuilt my station in the Spring of 2021 including Anderson Power Poles. I currently use a SEC1235M power supply which charges my Walmart 26R battery to be able to communicate in a true ...
Meantime, part of the company activities had gone back to the old radio shack near the Edgewater Beach Hotel. Mathews, Hassel and the engineers built a broadcast transmitter and installed it there under the call letters WJAZ. Studios were in the hotel itself, and “QSL” cards began to come...
