BANKS AND MEMORIES
Your scanner can store up to 66 frequencies. You store each frequency in either a memory called a channel, or a temporary memory called a monitor. This scanner has 60 channels and six monitor memories.
CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, channels are divided into six
For example, the police might use four frequencies, one for each area of town. You could program the police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (Bank 1) and then program the fire department frequencies starting with Channel 11 (the first channel in Bank 2).
MONITOR MEMORIES
The scanner also has six monitor memories. Use these memories to temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether or not to save them into channels. This is handy for quickly storing an active frequency when you are searching through an entire band.
When you are in the search mode, MON appears and the flashing num- ber at the top of the display indicates the currently selected monitor memory. Once you have stored a frequency into that monitor memory, press t or s. The scanner shifts to the next monitor memory and restarts the search mode.
Note: To store frequencies into a monitor memory, you must first per- form a limit or direct search. See “Searching For and Temporarily Stor- ing Active Frequencies.”
