	     New Continuous Coverage MX5000 Scanner Announced


       Regency Electronics just	announced the MX5000 scanner, a	 20
       channel	unit  which covers 25 through 550 MHz without gaps.
       Front panel buttons (on a membrane keyboard) allow selection
       of FM, WBFM, and	AM modes.

       The MX5000 has an LCD display and a digital  clock.   Search
       increments are selectable: 5, 12.5, and 25 KHz.	Front panel
       switches	control	 keyboard  lock	 and  dial  lighting.	The
       scanner	will  be  available  in	February and list for about
       $600.

       The MX5000 unit looks just like	the  one  announced  months
       back from Fanon.	 Rumor has it that Fanon withdrew it, along
       with a new continous coverage handheld scanner, that Regency
       now  offers  as	the  HX3000.   Sounds like the two are from
       overseas.

       A call to Regency, at (317)545-4281, will  get  you  a  data
       sheet.
