User's Manual

20-405 User’s Guide DRAFT
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) with 20 channels each, for 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, you could program the frequencies used by your local police department 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).
Service Banks
The scanner is preprogrammed with the frequencies allocated to marine, fire/police, aircraft, ham
radio, FM broadcast, and weather services. This is handy for quickly finding active frequencies
instead of searching through an entire bank (see “Service Bank Search” on page XX).
