I wonder if the nearly $2M that RadioShack owes them is responsible at all for this slowdown.

Possibly that and the fact that RS are dumping GRE/Whistler high end digital scanners on the market for $100-$150.
Not really a good time for either Uniden or Whistler to be releasing any new high end model at the moment and with hundres of digital scanners being dumped at ridiculous prices into an already saturated market, this is going to take some time to clear through the system.
I doubt that Uniden are making any money out of the x36HP series twelve months after it's release.
Even if they are making $200 gross profit per unit and they have sold 5000 units, that is only $1mil gross profit in twelve months. Now deduct all the ongoing costs of engineers working around the clock trying to fix the wifi dongle, the noisy headphone socket recall, the dodgy RTC problem (very likely another, even larger recall) and employing software geeks to produce the siren app for IOS and eventually android. That $1million dollar profit gets eaten up very quickly.
IMHO, the x36HP is unlikely to ever turn a profit for Uniden. The whole wifi streaming feature was only ever going to appeal to a very small minority of owners, but that single feature appears to have doomed the x36HP to commercial failure.
Whilster needs to be careful it doesn't fall into the same trap.
Oh, and I forgot the costs of actually constructing and maintaing the central streaming server that Uniden will rely on for it's Siren app.
Too big to fail?? Maybe..
