No gripe
You must be a customer to have a gripe.

If  I "Share" my source it will no longer be a source.
That's what's keeps info flowing.
I can tell you this it's no secrete.

$2000 You have got to be kidding! Look at Uniden's balance sheet below.
Not hardly ........Uniden's  jp Capex was reduced by %11 last year after

a restructuring charge of $2.3 M during Q1 of 01. Net loss applicable
to Common jp before extraordinary item totaled
$1.75 M, up from $1.2 M Revenues reflect an increase in the
number of customers and continued penetration into existing markets.
Net loss reflects the inclusion of a $2.3 million restructuring charge.
Uniden had a Gross Profit Margin in Q1/ 01 of 21.7% which is slightly
lower than
their scanner division.
