FINDING AND STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
Searching the Service Banks
Your scanner contains groups of preset frequencies called ser- vice banks. Each service bank is associated with a specific ac- tivity (see “Service Banks” on Page 20). You can search for fire/ police, air, ham, and marine transmissions even if you do not know the specific frequencies that are used in your area. Then you can store the frequencies you found into the scanner’s channels or monitor memories.
Notes:
•You can use the scanner’s delay feature while searching the service banks, see “Delay” on Page 36.
•To listen to the marine bank, see “Listening to the Marine Bank” on Page 34.
