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.
