Regional - I think it stops it retuning to other local stations in same network (eg, Heart - it will only stay on one you actually listen on)

Depends on requirements.  I think its only for that station/button, rather than a 'global' setting (but not got a cdr500 to test on)

I'll experiment then. Trouble is I only use 3 pre-sets .... Radio 2, Tower FM (very local radio) Real Radio (not quite very local radio)  ;D  ;D  ;D

The theory is that with REG ON it should only seek/search for local stations instead of the national ones - problem is that as many of the supposedly "local" stations are now broadcast nationwide, the button appears to have very little effect nowadays.
