Description:
The Regency HR-212 was a 12 channel all transistor 20 watt crystal controlled radio. One of the first 2 meter radios developed by Regency. The receive and transmit channel selections may be made independently or paired. The mode switch makes this possible. Hooked up wiht the AR-2 AMplifier gave this rig 80 watts output!

Still working 30 yrs later Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I just got one working this afternoon. Got it at the Raleigh hamfest for 10$ full of crystals. It had a bad mic cable and was likely shelved years ago. Its filthy, but works well upon initial checkout. Audio is nice from the large front firing speaker. I've yet to have a synthesized radio of the era last this long. Nice rig, I'll clean it to as new and use it as the monitor radio in the shack.

Great 2 Meter Radio Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Regency was one of the first manufactures of 2 meter radios that were crystal controled and inexpensiove for the time. The HR-212 provided 12 seperate channels at 20 watts of power. Ver simple in design, a few of these can still be found for sale. A simple efficent radio for it's time.
