Service Banks, Fire/Police | Radio Shack PRO-79 manual

Service Banks

The scanner is preprogrammed with the frequencies allocated by fire/police, aircraft, ham radio, and marine services. This is handy for quickly finding active frequencies instead of searching through an entire band (see “Searching the Service Banks” on Page 28).

Note: The frequencies in the scanner’s service banks are pre- set. You cannot change them.
