The scanner is preprogrammed with all the frequen- cies allocated to the weather, ham, marine, aircraft, and police (fire/emergency) services.

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 channel-storage banks. Each bank has 20 channels. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those for the police depart- ment, fire department, ambulance services, or air- craft.

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 21 (the first chan- nel in bank 2).
