PRIVATE Bank
Your scanner has one PRIVATE bank. This bank contains 20 channels. You can store frequencies from any search band (see “Search Bands” on Page 15), service search bank, or any weather frequency into these chan- nels, then scan the channels by press- ing PRIVATE.
Notes:
•You cannot use the SEARCH key to search for new frequencies in the PRIVATE bank.
•You cannot scan the PRIVATE bank until you have stored fre- quencies in its channels (see “Storing Frequencies into Chan- nels” on Page 21).
CHANNELS
The scanner has 50 empty channels where you can store frequencies you find while scanning the banks or searching through the search bands
—20 in the POLICE bank, 10 in the FIRE/EMG bank, and 20 in the PRI- VATE bank.
•Frequencies you assign to POLICE channels become part of the POLICE service search bank. For example, the police depart- ment might use four temporary frequencies while providing secu- rity for a parade. If these frequen-
cies are included in any search band (or even another service search bank), you could store them in Channels
•Frequencies you assign to FIRE/ EMG channels become part of the FIRE/EMG service search bank.
For example, the fire department might use three frequencies to communicate with paramedic units only during disaster drills. If these frequencies are included in any search band (or even another service search bank), you could store them in Channels
•The MARINE and AIR service search banks contain no chan- nels.
You can also replace frequencies you stored in these channels with different frequencies, or you can clear stored frequencies from the channels.
Good references for active frequen- cies are the RadioShack Police Call Radio Guide Including Fire and Emer- gency Services, Aeronautical Fre- quency Directory, and Maritime Frequency Directory. We update these directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy.
