Notes:

•The frequencies in the scanner’s search bands are preset. You cannot change them.

•“Band Allocation” on Page 42 lists frequency ranges and the broadcasters you are likely to hear on those frequencies.

•Although the scanner displays 108-137when you select search band 2, it receives frequencies of 108 to 136.975 MHz in the search band.

CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS

You can store up to 100 frequencies into memory locations within the scanner called channels. You can store one frequency in each of the 100 channels.

To make it easier to identify and select the frequencies you want to listen to, the scanner’s channels are divided into 10 channel- storage banks (0–9). Each channel-storage bank contains ten channels.

You can use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies of the same type, such as those used by racing teams, aircraft and the control tower, the police department, and ambulance services (see “A General Guide to Scanning” on Page 39).

For example, you might want to listen to communications between the driver of Car 26 and his pit crew at a stock car race. Addition- ally, there might be other broadcasters at the race you want to lis- ten to, such as the medical center, pace car, and crowd security. To make it easier to remember where you stored the driver’s fre- quency, you could program the frequency into Channel 26 (the same number as his car), then program frequencies for the other broadcasters in the same bank (starting with Channel 20).
