Hi.
Generally, Radio Shack is only a reseller for most products--they do very
little of their own manufacturing anymore, and most of the stuff they carry
is made by other brands, even if they have their name on it. For example,
all of the shortwave gear that are generally either Grundig or Sangean.
In summary, I don't think you can make any generalizations about their
quality, because it really depends upon who made it.
