UNDERSTANDING BANKS
Channel Storage Banks
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, channels are divided into 10 banks
(0—9) or 30 (00 to 29) channels each. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those
used by the Motorola trunking, EDACS trunking, Marine, CB, Police, Fire, Aircraft and Ham (see “Typical
Band Usage” on Page XX). For example, police department might use four frequencies, one for each side of
the town. You could program the police frequencies starting with 000 (the 1st channel in bank 0) and
program the fire department frequencies starting with 100 (the 1st channel in bank 1). The 1st digit identifies
the bank (0-9). The 2nd and 3rd digits identify the channel within the bank (00-29).
Search Banks
This scanner has five preprogrammed search bands plus one limit search band. You can set the lower and
higher frequency limit in limit search band. (For the default setting, see “Searching a Preprogrammed
Frequency Range” on Page XX.)
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SCANNER’S MODES
You can program each channel with any of four receive modes except VHF band (no MO or ED mode in
VHF)). Each mode affects how your scanner operates when scanning and receiving transmissions, and also
affects what transmissions you receive when you set the scanner to the closed mode (see “Open and
Closed Modes” on Page XX). The following sections describe each mode and how they affect your scanners
operation. See “Changing the Receive Mode” on Page XX.
