800 MHz scanner:

	None available at this time.
	Watch for the Regency MX7000 (really an MX5000 with
	a built in converter) in January 1985.

That bearcat scanner that can be hooked to an rs-232 port runs up
to the 800 mhz bands.  (I don't remember the model number, but get
yerself a copy of "Consumer Electronics" catalog.....they have it
in there).

Sounds like the Compuscan 1200, which was discontinued by Bearcat
when they were bought by Uniden. This radio covered up to 512 MHz, not
800 MHz, as the receiver circuit board was the same one used in
the Bearcat 350 (discontinued) and Bearcat 300.

Several years ago, Bearcat introduced a crystal controlled scanner
that covered 800 MHz (the only scanner to cover this range) but it flopped 
and was withdrawn.
