Radio Shack Flip, Flop, Flip….
It seems that the Shack cannot make up its mind on the Rocky Mountain Radar product line…..
On Monday, October 16th, we reported that Radio Shack was selling the Rocky Mountain C450 and the C430 on their website.
A flood of faxes and e-mails followed from users of the RadarDetector.net website to officials at Radio Shack and within 4 hours of my original posting, Radio Shack pulled the RMR units off their website. I then posted a follow-up congratulating Radio Shack for removing these illegal products.
On Monday, October 23rd, the RMR C450 returned to their website clearly stating that this product was a scrambler.
The FCC clearly has stated in their 1977 action, that any advertising of radar jammers is illegal. Also on July 10th, FCC Chief of Staff Michael Carowitz sent Senator Hutchsion this letter, in which is stated: “The Marketing, including radio advertising for sale, and use of RF devices designed to intentionally jam or interfere with licensed radio services is illegaL”
Our follow-up congratulatory post was removed and we started making telephone calls and sending e-mails to our contacts, including Attorney Justin Cluck, who has fileld legal action before against RMR.
Well today, Radio Shack pulled the RMR items off their website again!
What is the Shack’s next move? What ever it maybe, I know that members of the RadarDetector.net, and other interested parties will be watching…

I once used to look to Radio Shack as a good source for electronics information. It just shows how some companies sell products for profit no matter if they actually do what they are intended/advertised to do.
Shame on Radio Shack, I hope they get their act together and give RMR the boot for good.
you're more protected with a brick on your dash than a RMR.
the RMR voice sounds like a chinese hooker 😛
