Item 3.01.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On February 4, 2011, ParkerVision, Inc. (the “Company”) received approval from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) to transfer the listing of its common stock from the NASDAQ Global Market to the NASDAQ Capital Market and the Company’s board of directors authorized the Company to proceed with the transfer, which will be effective on February 9, 2011. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol “PRKR.”  The transfer should not have any effect on investors’ ability to buy or sell shares.

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 20, 2010, the Company received a notice on August 18, 2010 from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department stating that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had been below the minimum of $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion on NASDAQ (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Under NASDAQ’s rules, the Company initially was afforded a 180-calendar-day period to regain compliance, or through February 14, 2011. The Company will not be able to regain compliance within this time frame. However, the Company expects to be afforded an additional 180-calendar-day period to regain compliance, or through August 13, 2011, as a result of its transfer to the NASDAQ Capital Market.

In order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the bid price for shares of the Company’s common stock must close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. If the Company is unable to regain compliance by August 13, 2011, NASDAQ will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company’s common stock, which determination may be appealed to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel.

Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those currently anticipated or projected.
