                           DIVISION ASSETS TO THOMSON

                 Purchase Price to be Approximately $14 million

JACKSONVILLE,  FLORIDA,  Feb 26, 2004 - PARKERVISION,  INC.  (Nasdaq NMS: PRKR),
announced  today that it has entered  into a  definitive  agreement  to sell the
assets of it's video division, which includes PVTV(TM) and Cameraman(R) products
and  related  technology  to Thomson  (Euronext  Paris:  18453;  NYSE:TMS).  The
transaction  is valued at  approximately  $14  million in cash and is subject to
customary closing conditions, including approval by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of ParkerVision.  The sale is expected to be completed in
the  first  half of  2004.  Wells  Fargo  acted  as the  Investment  Banker  for
ParkerVision.

Chairman and CEO Jeffrey L. Parker stated,  "ParkerVision  has had two operating
divisions  for a number of  years.  The video  division  successfully  developed
revolutionary  multi-patented  television news Production Automation technology,
which is an  achievement  we are  proud of and has been  adopted  by some of the
industry's leading broadcasters.  We believe that the technology and products of
our video business  combined with Thomson's  extensive product line will provide
the  best  opportunity  for  PVTV  to  grow  into  an  industry  de-facto.   For
ParkerVision,  the  non-dilutive  additional  cash that we will receive  further
capitalizes  the opportunity to grow the value of our Wireless  Division,  which
will  become the  company's  sole  focus.  I believe  this is a win-win for both
Thomson and ParkerVision."
