Understanding Banks
Service Banks
The scanner is preprogrammed with all the frequencies allocated to the police, railroad, marine, aircraft, UHF CB, and AM CB.
Police, railroad and AM CB preset frequencies in the service bank are valid for Australia ONLY. Aircraft, Marine and UHF CB preset frequencies are valid for both Australia and New Zealand.
Channel-Storage Banks
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, the 200 channels are divided into 10
For example, the police department might use eight frequencies in your town while the railroad uses an additional four. You could program the eight police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in bank 1), and program the railroad frequencies starting with Channel 21 (the first channel in bank 2).
