I was reading this excellent article from the NY Times, and couldn't help my curiousity about what handheld radio Mr. John Roca is holding in his hand in this photo:

In the context of the article, it should be a UHF handheld radio/scanner capable of listening to NYPD channels, but it's impressively small and I've never seen it before.
Does anyone recognize it?
