Sorta confused myself now.
RRFD72 was asking for the info on the Regency XL2000.
And thanx ANDY as i found your info interesting and was interesting enough i even printed it off for posible future use.
But wasnt the Regency XL2000 a non front programable radio that you clipped various jumpers and diode wires to select freq and PL tone per channel ?
Or was the XL2000 also made in a front programable version as well ?
I was thinking the Regency RH-256 models were front programable.
I just got the Regency manual out and looked at it again just now as i was typing this (One finger-No not the bird finger=

)
I have the XL2000 manual here and i emailed it to RRFD72 and it shows jumpers for programming it and no mention of front programable info.
Now im thinking that the Manual while labeled by the factory at the top of it as a XL2000 sevice manual is actualy for the Regency XLH252 as it mentions at the bottom of the same front page.
XL2000 must have been a series number rather than a model number ????
Sorry about the confusion RRFD72
