====== Uniden ======
**Uniden** is a Japanese company that manufactured CB radios for well-known brands, Scanner receivers and some shortwave receivers and wireless telephones.

===== Company history =====
The Japanese company was founded in 1966 by Hidero Fujimoto as **Uni Electronics Corp**. In the seventies, **Uniden** became one of the most important manufacturers of CB radios and scanner receivers. In the German-speaking countries, Uniden manufactured CB radios "for export only", including the Cobra, President and Midland brands. Some sets from [[Pan]], Stabo and Zodiac also came from Uniden; the brand label of the Japanese company was rarely found on sets sold in Europe.

As an optimised clone of Sony's [[ICF-2001]], Uniden produced the [[CR 2021]], which was also popular in Europe due to its price and reception performance.

In the USA, sets from Uniden were often sold under the brand [[Radio Shack]]. In recent years, wireless telephones (Uniden became one of the market leaders in this field), security technology and webcams have been the focus of the product range.
