UNDERSTANDING BANKS
You can store frequencies into either a permanent memory location called a
channel, or a temporary memory location called a monitor memory. You can
store up to 1,000 channels and up to 100 monitor mem ories.
CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen
to, channels are divided into 10 channel -storage banks (1-10) of 100
channels each. You can use each channel -storage to group frequencies, such
as those used by the police department, fire department, ambulance
services, and aircraft (see "Guide to the Action Bands").
For example, there might be three or four police departments in your area,
each using several different frequencies. Additionally, there might be
other law enforcement agencies such as state police, county sheriffs, or
SWAT teams that use their own frequencies. You can program all law
enforcement frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in Bank
1), then program the fire depa rtment, paramedic, and other public safety
frequencies starting with Channel 101 (the first channel in Bank 2).
