BANDS AND BANKS

SEARCH BANDS

Your scanner can tune over 24,000 different frequencies. Each of these frequencies is contained within a group of frequencies called a band. The scanner uses permanent memory locations called search bands (0-9) to group these bands. You can search these bands to quickly find active frequencies you might want to store into the scanner’s channels (see “Channel-Storage Banks” on Page 19).

The scanner has the following search bands.

Search Band	Search Range
	(MHz)
0	29–50
1	50–54
2	108–137
3	137–144
4	144–148
5	148–174
6	380–420
7	420–450
8	450–470
9	470–512

For example, if you wanted to search for transmissions between pilots and the control tower at an air show, you could search only the search bands where you are most likely to hear the transmis- sions (2, 3, and 6).
