Neither Uniden Nor Whistler announce new products before they hit the market.
NEVER!
Any statement to the contrary is PURE speculation.

Just as a note, if you're thinking of holding your breath waiting for that announcement, I recommend supplemental oxygen, blahhahaha.

Ouch, zzdiesel but... just showing some levity with frustration from those who are very familiar with the industry. I understand your reaction.
I share it... Bob.
I share it... Bob.
There has been talk of Unication coming out with a scanner.

Can you please cite an official company announcement, or is this just more pointless speculation?
Thanks in advance.

Put me on the waiting list, prepaid.Can you please cite an official company announcement, or is this just more pointless speculation?

It is a comment in the Unication forum. Use the search button.
I have a 3rd cousin, twice-removed who has a friend who's plumber knows a guy that used be a Uniden janitor's bail bondsman who says they're working on computator that will scan McDonalds' drive-thru frequencies and calculate the total bill before the customer gets to the take-out window.

OK, so pure speculation then. Got it!
I think this was the announcement from Unification regarding beta testing of firmware that has some scanner features. At least that's what I thought it was.Can you please cite an official company announcement, or is this just more pointless speculation?
Thanks in advance.
Unication G-Series Voice Pager with Digital Trunked Scanner Feature
Hello guys, I'm Steve from Unication. Yes, the Trunking Free Scan feature of G-Series Voice Pager is going to be in the Beta Test stage. We're looking for G-Series Voice Pager customers who are interested in participating in a one-month Beta Testing trial of the Trunking Free Scan feature...
Sounds like your search Fu is weak and you couldn't find the comment.OK, so pure speculation then. Got it!
There is a comment in a thread about a conversation with a Unication Rep. But the thread is long and about something else related to Unication.I think this was the announcement from Unification regarding beta testing of firmware that has some scanner features. At least that's what I thought it was.

So in answer to the OP's question... It's complicated....

No no, please doc... say it ain't true, hey we have to hold on to some kind of hope. It Is 2020 after all.OK, so pure speculation then. Got it!
I think that means if unication was ever to come out with a scanner comparable to the others it would be in 2021. If any company was going to do it it's going to be them, not Whistler certainly... of course... and it's not Uniden, they've got their contenders.
This is not speculation, Just my $0.42 counting inflation.

More Info Coming Soon!
Unication is beta testing some G-series pager firmware that includes some scanner-type features, but it's a long way from being usable as a general-purpose scanner. Perhaps it's an indication they intend to enter the scanner market, and perhaps not. Only corporate knows.

Wouldn't be surprised if a Chinese SDR handheld scanner with a name I've of never heard of appeared next.
If there was a sizable market for scanners internationally, I might agree. They are a niche market product with (I suspect) a declining demand in the U.S. and are illegal to have/use in a fair number of countries.
All I can say is that this is the third or fourth time this question has been asked in the recent past.... Posting And You...
