The rule of thumb used to be that you could tell the GRE-made RS scanners
from the Uniden-made RS scanners by the location of the keypad and
speaker. On the front of GRE-made scanners, the keypad was on the bottom
and the speaker was on the top. On Uniden-made scanners, the keypad was
on the top and the speaker was on the bottom. The bottom row of keys on
the Uniden-made scanners was "dot-zero-E," while on GRE-made scanners,
the bottom row of keys was "zero-dot-E." Uniden-made scanners tended to
use four AA-cells, while GRE-scanners tended to use six AA-cells.

Let me guess: yours wasn't like that.
