       Uniden Corporation acquired the Bearcat division	of  Electra
       Company	on  May	28, 1984.  According to	an article in Moni-
       toring Times (July 1984,	pg. 2):

	     "It is safe  to  assume  that  several  new  products,
	    including  a BC-100XL with aircraft	band, a	BC-450 wide
	    coverage scanner, and a BC-210XLT with  800	 MHz,  will
	    never see the light	of day."

	     "Presently	manufactured products which have been  can-
	    celed  include  BC-250,  BC-300, CompuScan 2100 and	the
	    new	TV satellite terminal."

	     "Sources close to the company revealed that approxima-
	    tely  120  employees  were	laid  off  Friday,  June 1,
	    1984......"
