Understanding Banks
Channel Storage Banks
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, the 500 channels are divided into 10 channel storage banks containing 50 channels each. You could use each channel storage bank to group frequencies by department, location, area of interest, or any other way you prefer. You can listen to any or all of the banks by using the number keys to turn them on or off.
Service Search Banks
The scanner is preprogrammed with many of the frequencies allocated to Police, Fire/Emergency, Ham, Marine, Railroad, Civil Air, Military Air, CB radio, FRS/GMRS/MURS, and Racing services. There are 10 banks allocated for these searches that can be used just like the channel storage banks to search these frequencies in Service Search mode.
Custom Search Banks
Custom Search Banks let you program and search 10 custom search ranges. During custom search, the scanner starts searching with the lowest frequency in the search range you select to the highest frequency in the range. You can search any or all of these ranges by turning each search bank on or off just like channel storage banks in Search mode.
