department, ambulance services, or aircraft (see “Guide to the Action Bands” on Page 24).
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).
One Touch Banks
The scanner is preprogrammed with the frequencies allocated by marine, fire/police, aircraft, ham
radio, and weather services. This is handy for quickly finding active frequencies instead of searching
through an entire band (see “Searching the One Touch Banks” on Page 14).
Note: The frequencies in the scanner’s service banks are preset. You cannot change them.
