UNDERSTANDING BANKS
Service Banks
The scanner is preprogrammed with all the frequencies allocated to the ham, marine, aircraft, and police
(fire/emergency) services. This helps you quickly find active frequencies instead of doing a chain search (see
“Service Bank Search” on Page XX).
Channel Storage Banks
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, all the channels are divided into 10
banks of 100 channels. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those for the police
department, fire department, ambulance services, or aircraft (see “Guide to the Action Bands” on Page XX).
For example, the police department might use four frequencies in your town while the fire department uses an
additional four. You could program the four police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in
bank 1), and program the fire department frequencies starting with Channel 51 (the first channel in bank 2).
