I sent the following out to our Master Distributors, but I know that some dealers hang out here, so want to give all dealers their best shot at hearing about this.

====================
This year, Uniden is sending a representative to Hamvention in Dayton to help support our dealers, distributors, and other partners, as well as to get some direct input from the user community. I will be attending Friday and Saturday, all day both days.

We will be taking the opportunity to introduce an exciting new scanner product that no one has yet heard about, and I should have a fairly good looking prototype sample to show off. We'll issue a press release and release product details at the beginning of the show so that all of our partners have access to the information. My goal for the show is to spend most of my time in dealer booths with a "Meet the Uniden Rep" tour...but I need your help. I am aware of the following Uniden dealers or other partners that have booths at the show:

AES Amateur Electronic Supply
Computer Aided Technologies
Ham Radio Outlet
National Communications Magazine
ScannerMaster Corp
The Ham Station
Universal Radio

If you know of others, please let me know, and also let them know that they can schedule time for me to be in their booth by emailing me directly. If they would like to coordinate this with any other type of promotion, now is the time to set that up, as well. Scheduling will be on a "First Come, First Served" basis...I'd like to spend about an hour at each dealer's exhibit and leave a half hour or so between events in order to ensure I can start at the next venue in time, but at this point I am very flexible.

I don't think it is a scanner. He said scanner product that no one has ever heard of before. I guess we will see after the ham convention.

Any recent guesses on what the new scanner product will be?

My vote goes for a mobile version of the 396; feature-wise Uniden would probably be ahead of GRE on both the portable and mobile/base side of things. And maybe the mobile/base would have remote head capabilities out of the box like many mobile ham radios do; that would be the icing on the cake.

Whoever goes to the convention, please, post on here ASAP so we will know what it is and also, take pictures if you can to post here! I think it will be a scanner. I could be wrong. But a "good looking prototype sample" could be anything!!!! I hate being in suspense.

The wording of that is what gets me, as someone pointed out.

I doubt seriously it's the 396T since obviously we all know about it (and some dream about it).

:)

But I'm pretty damned curious now considering the Hamvention is getting closer. Wish I could go, maybe someday I'll get the opportunity to attend the Dayton show.

Best wishes and best of luck with the new product, Paul. :p

Paul,

Do you have any further as to when you expect to be at what booth? I'm expecting to be there on Friday and would like to see what you have up your sleeve here... ;)

Oh boy this is how rumors get started so I'll chip in here.

I bet its the base/mobile version of the 396T!!! Like the previous digital Unidens except with a BLUE screen!!! Awesome I'm gonna get them both!! :lol:

A few people have asked when I'll be where at Dayton. Here is a partial list (still trying to nail down a couple of other times):

Friday 9AM -- Ham Station #536-539
Friday 11AM -- Universal Radio #506
Friday 1PM -- ScannerMaster #402,403

Saturday 11AM -- Community Radio Broadcast from #318

Feel free to look me up...I'll be the one with the radio on my belt. :wink:

UPMan,

Are you still going to post that new Avatar on May 19th ? Isn't that what it said a few weeks ago? Just curious....

Also, any comments on your new avatar you have now?

Ok Paul, I'll look for the guy with the radio on his belt... :shock: Hey, almost everybody has a radio on their belt! I guess I'll just look for the guy with the Uniden radio on his belt. :wink:
