Understanding Channel-Storage Banks
A bank is a storage area for a group of channels. Channels are storage areas for
frequencies. Whereas a channel can only contain one frequency, a bank can hold numerous
channels.
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, your scanner
divides the channels into 10 banks (1 to 10) of 20 channels each, a total of 200 channels.
You can use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those used by the
police department, fire department, ambulance services, or aircraft.
For example, a police department might use four frequencies, one for each side of town.
You could program the police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in bank
1) and program the fire department frequencies starting with Channel 21 (the first channel in
bank 2).
FM Radio Channels
This scanner has another channel memory location, called FM Radio channel. These
channels are able to use only FM Radio mode. You can program 20 broadcast stations into
FM Radio channel.
Service Search
The scanner is preprogrammed with the frequencies allocated by marine, fire/police, aircraft,
and ham radio services. This is handy for quickly finding active frequencies instead of
searching through an entire band (see “Searching the Service Search Bank’s on Page XX).
