Your scanner also has 7 preprogrammed weather frequencies.

For example, if you wanted to search for transmissions between a driver and that driver’s pit crew at an auto race, you could search only the ser- vice bank where you are most likely to hear the transmissions (CAr).

Notes:

•The frequencies in the scanner’s service banks are preset. You cannot change them.

•“Band Allocation” on Page 43 lists frequency ranges and the broadcasters you are likely to hear on those frequencies.
