What's in store for the Bearcat scanner product line
after its aquisition by Uniden? An article about the
upcoming Consumer Electronics show in the December 1984
issue of "Consumer Electronics" relates:
"The company [Uniden] is also displaying two new
Uniden Bearcat scanners, which will be available
for shipment in the third quarter of 1985."
"'We're hoping to revolutionize the scanner radio
business in the U.S. with a sizable engineering
commitment to redesign the table top or syn-
thesized scanner,' Mulhall [consumer group Execu-
tive VP] says. New models being shown at CES
include a fully synthesized table top programmable
scanner with a suggested list of $99 and a han-
dheld scanner with a suggested retail price
between $99 and $149."
As for Fox Marketing:
"The company will also introduce three programma-
ble scanners later in 1985, and prototypes will be
on display at CES...."
