I fully expect successive generations of RS scanners to be Uniden clones.  
The PRO-2042 might well be the last of a breed.  Neither it nor the PRO-2035 
passed the European EMI standards, so I'm pretty sure the design will be 
discomboomerated.

Exactamundo.  Yankee ingenuity, creativeness, boning up, hard-ass work.  :)
