band.

	Yes, the Regency MX7000 covers 25-550 MHz and 800-1200 Mhz. It
lists for around $400-$500. I have played with the MX5000, which I guess
is the same scanner without the 800-1200 Mhz (looks the same and they have
a common maintenance manual). I noticed two annoyances: The scan rate is
slow (~5 channels per second), and you have to access individual channels
by keying in the number on the front panel - there is no single button
channel select. It has 20 channels.

	By the way, the best place to find scanner ads at discount prices
seems to be "Popular Communications." However, I suggest you ignore the
articles unless you are prepared to sacrifice your technical knowledge and
common sense.
