yeah ..... the "guy on facebook" was full of shit
The Registration card has a 1989 date on it. I wonder if it is too late...
1989 is what I remember. Kept pestering Uniden in Indianapolis for a service manual. They kept putting me off, saying it was "out of stock". Then one day a carton of six HR2510 radios was dropped off by UPS, prepaid. Not COD. Seemed baffling, so I put them in the stock room away from prying eyes until I could ask just how they screwed up an order for a service manual. It was a hot item at the time and I didn't need the questions they would get. Got a call from a nice-sounding young woman at Uniden asking if I had received a COD with a carton of six 2510s. She sounded terribly disappointed when I answered "no". Then I added that I had received a carton prepaid, not COD. She was quite relieved. I told her I would let the UPS driver pick them up once I had a service manual for that model. It showed up in the mail a couple of days later.
Had to be 1989 or 1990.

I know the circuit boards are marked 1988. 89 seems to be when I first started seeing them in my area.
In the Fall of '88 there was already early reviews and mention of Radio Shack coming out with their version (HTX-100). By mid 1989 '73 Magazine' was publishing a series of articles about modifying some features or circuits of the 2510. So I'd say 1988, in support of 999's comment.
Rigpix says late 1988
