UNDERSTANDING MEMORY
MONITOR MEMORIES
You can store frequencies into either
a permanent memory location, called
a channel, or a temporary memory lo-
cation, called a monitor memory. You
can store up to 200 channels and 10
monitor memories.
CHANNEL-STORAGE
BANKS
To make it easier to identify and se-
lect the channels you listen to most
often, channels are divided into 10
channel-storage banks (1 to 10) of 20
channels each. You can use each
channel-storage bank to group fre-
quencies, such as those used by the
police department, fire department,
ambulance services, or aircraft (see
"Guide to the Action Bands").
For example, there might be three or
four police departments in your area,
each using several different frequen-
cies. Additionally, there might be other
law enforcement agencies such as
state police, county sheriffs, or SWAT
teams that use their own frequencies.
You could program all law enforce-
ment frequencies starting with Chan-
nel 1 (the first channel in Bank 1),
then program the fire department,
paramedic, and other public safety
frequencies starting with Channel 21
(the first channel in Bank 2).
The scanner also has 10 monitor
memories. You can use these memo-
ries to temporarily store frequencies
while you decide whether or not to
save them in channels. This is handy
for quickly storing an active frequency
when you search through an entire
band.
Notes:
• To store a frequency into a monitor
memory, you must perform a limit
or direct search. See "Searching
For and Temporarily Storing Active
Frequencies."
• You can select monitor memories
manually, but you cannot scan
them. See "Using Monitor Memo-
ries."
