I'm nitpicking, but there were programmable Regency scanners, the first ones in the late 70s I think. They never seemed to have the quality of the Bearcats. Uniden bought them, in the late 80s I think, and phased them out. There was a line of scanners out a few years ago under the name of Relm, that were supposed to be made by the same company that used to be Regency. I have a few Regency scanners, both crystal & programmable, plus a tube type base station CB and several of the old Monitoradios. Why do I have them? Buying them just seemed like a good idea at the time! I think that the founder (or one of the founders) of Regency (and I would mispell his name so I won't try) is the same fellow who founded Antique Electronic Supply and while he sold that company he still dabbles in the business in one way or another.
