Before the Radio Shack 2-station FM wireless intercom is even out of the box, it makes an impression.

The ugly brown packaging of Radio Shack's yesteryear is gone, replaced by a slick cardboard box whose face is emblazoned with a photograph of the intercom and clear, informative text and graphics.

The box is designed to entice you, and it is as effective in its task as the intercom it contains.
