Mark (at the candy Store aka RS) didnt have any unidens, except the OLD types. I do know he was carrying the 396T for a short time.
Wichita Communications was selling Unidens a few years ago as well as LLoyds Electronics. Both stores are pricey but they may have one for you to play with. If it was me I would look around and save a few bucks via Mail order.
This seems to be a common problem for living in the Mid-west, We seem to be 2 days away from everything. (Great steaks, Lousy sea food)
