Synopsis:   Uniden lifts the curtain on its long-anticipated APCO 25
digital scanner models.

Body:   LAS VEGAS (January 8) � Uniden America Corporation today
unveiled its new digital scanner line for 2002, including the consumer
electronics leader�s much-anticipated base and handheld APCO 25 digital
scanning models. Speaking at CES, product manager Scott Carpenter
showcased the new scanner products, underscoring the company�s
commitment to keeping its customers at the forefront of scanning
technology. �Our retailers have been pushing us for a Uniden APCO 25
product for months, and our new BC250D handheld and our BC785D
base/mobile scanning unit represent the fulfillment of our promise,�
Carpenter said. �With the ability to monitor conventional, trunked and
APCO 25 conventional and trunked systems these models are
state-of-the-art radio scanners. According to Uniden representatives,
the Bearcat BC250D and the Bearcat BC785D models, which are slated to
hit shelves in late 2002, offer 1,100 channels, 10 banks and a frequency
range of 25MHz � 1300MHz. The BC250D comprises all of the features of
Uniden�s market-leading BC780 XLT in a handheld model, plus adds APCO 25
capability and an additional 600 channels. Users of both models must
purchase an APCO 25 card, the BCi25D, separately. �We�re pleased to be
bringing these great Bearcat APCO 25 units to market,� Carpenter said.
�We expect more big cities to migrate to the APCO 25 digital technology,
like Los Angeles did this past year, to ensure agency interoperability
among police, fire, EMTs and the like � and we know news organizations,
businesses and consumers will want to monitor their signals.� Uniden
officials stressed that APCO 25 digital scanning technology simply gives
users the ability to monitor the day-to-day activities and signals of
standard city and government service departments � but in no way allows
users to monitor encrypted signals from national and local security
organizations. In a separate announcement Uniden also announced its
plans to market its own easy-to-use scanner programming software, which
it is demonstrating in its booth at this winter�s annual Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The software will allow the users of all
Uniden scanners with data ports to easily program frequencies into the
channels and banks of their scanner. About Uniden Uniden America
Corporation, the North American subsidiary of Japan based Uniden
Corporation, manufactures and markets wireless consumer electronic
products including cordless telephones, business telecommunications
systems, multimedia communications devices, scanner radios, CB radios,
FRS, Marine radios and other wireless personal communications products.
Based in Fort Worth, Texas, Uniden sells it products through dealers and
