Sounds like the Compuscan 1200, which was discontinued by Bearcat
when they were bought by Uniden. This radio covered up to 512 MHz, not
800 MHz, as the receiver circuit board was the same one used in
the Bearcat 350 (discontinued) and Bearcat 300.

Several years ago, Bearcat introduced a crystal controlled scanner
that covered 800 MHz (the only scanner to cover this range) but it flopped 
and was withdrawn.
