Why does Walmart sell the analog police scanners in their store? ?

I came across an analog police scanner at Walmart, but I found it to be the older version that is no longer usable in my area since the police have switched to digital communication. I briefly purchased it, but I couldn't find any updates for it and ultimately decided to return it. Why does Walmart continue to sell these analog police scanners in their stores?

because the people who buy stuff there aren’t very bright.

i know, i used to work there.

If all you want to listen to are trains, airplanes and housewives sharing grocery lists on  walkie talkies and CB, analog scanners are fine. Analog scanners are much  cheaper than digital scanners, but are useless to monitor digital radio.  Do your homework before you shop for another scanner. Lookit: “radioreference.com”.

There are plenty of places that have yet to switch to digital.
