Radio Shack PRO-2048 Understanding the SCANNER’S Memory, Channel-Storage Banks, Monitor Memories

UNDERSTANDING THE SCANNER’S MEMORY

You can store up to 210 frequencies into your scanner’s memory. This scanner has 200 channel memories and 10 monitor memories.

Channel-Storage Banks

To make it easier to identify and se- lect the channels you want to listen to, channels are divided into 10 chan- nel-storage banks of 20 channels each. Use each storage bank to group frequencies, such as the po- lice department, fire department, am- bulance services, or aircraft (see “Guide to the Action Bands” on Page 31).

For example, the police department might use four frequencies, one for each side of town. You could pro- gram the police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in Bank 1) and program the fire depart- ment starting with Channel 21 (the first channel in Bank 2).

Monitor Memories

The scanner has 10 monitor memo- ries. You can use these memories to temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether or not to store them into channels. This is handy for quickly storing an active frequency when you search through an entire band. You can manually select these memories, but you cannot scan them. See “Searching For and Tem- porarily Storing Active Frequencies” on Page 20.
