Details GRE Official Announcement 10/23/2012

October 23, 2012

To our valued Dealers and Customers,

Due to circumstances beyond its control, General Research of Electronics
of Japan (GRE)
is temporarily not able to manufacture the GRECOM and Radio Shack
branded radio scanners.

The Chinese Governments plan to redevelop the area where the GRE
factory had been in
operation for over ten years finally forced its closure. Anticipating
this eventuality,
GRE was in the process of building a new factory but unfortunately the
cost of raw materials,
labour and increased taxes created a heavy financial investment burden
that could not be
effectively recovered.

GRE America continues to market, support and service the GRECOM branded
scanners and is
contractually committed to keep the Library Database updated and
current. GRE America
will continue to market, service and support Alincos radio
products without any interruption.

We sincerely apologize for this unfortunate turn of events. GRE is
proceeding to establish
a contract with a new factory and believes it will be able to restart
the manufacturing in the near future.

For continued sales, service and support, please contact the GRE America
office.
