Bring back RadioShack! Their stores, and their WeatherRadio(s) to the world!


Bring back RadioShack! Their stores, and their WeatherRadio(s) to the world!
The Issue
Who is Impacted:
The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and weather radio community—including emergency preparedness advocates, weather enthusiasts, and everyday families relying on timely NOAA alerts—are directly impacted. These users depend on reliable, affordable weather radios to stay informed and safe during severe weather events.
What is at Stake:
The availability of trusted RadioShack weather radios, such as the 12-261, 12-262, 12-519, and others, is at risk. These models have long been favorites for their durability and ease of use. If RadioShack revives production, it would increase access to quality weather radios, helping more people prepare for emergencies.
Why Now:
Many of RadioShack’s early weather radio models, like the 12-261 and 12-259, have patents that are expiring or have already expired, while patents on newer models will expire soon. This creates a unique opportunity for RadioShack to reintroduce these radios to the market without major legal barriers, providing affordable, reliable devices for all.
