What great responses - never expected so much good info guys. Many thanks to: Lin KJ6EF, Cortland KA5S, Mark AA6DX, Jim K9YC, Alex KR1ST, Dave K6LL, Dave WA3GIN. The exact Uniden models are probably discontinued, but it sure looks like that brand is a good value AND good ham environment equipment design. Good luck and 73 to all Frank W0ECS
