Hi Folks, Long time scanner enthusiast from Canada returning to the hobby at 75!

Just resurrected two of my old favourite Regency sets, the Turbo Scan 800 TS2 and the R1075. and they still work fine - for vintage equipment.

The R1075 has limited frequency coverage but I vaguely recalled an old trick from the 1980s and tried it. Putting the R1075 on the desired channel and then pressing IN SEQUENCE: MANUAL, 9, CLEAR, ENTER will allow frequencies below the band threshhold to be entered.

In UHF I have been able to program right down to 400.0000mhz and to 140.0000 mhz in VHF. Still trying to get it lower on VHF as I know it can be done, although this seems to be a matter of luck from set to set.

Just thought I'd share the above with anyone who may still have old Regency sets - this works with a number of different models - in varying degrees.

Of interest to anyone who may recall the old analogue cell phone frequency fuss, the Regency TS2 was one of the last sets produced before the coverage ban took effect!
