Understanding Banks
Service Banks
The scanner is preprogrammed with all the frequencies allocated to the weather, ham, marine, aircraft, police, and fire services.
Channel-Storage Banks
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, the 200 channels are divided into 10
For example, the police department might use four frequencies in your town while the fire department uses an additional four. You could program the four police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in bank 1), and program the fire department frequencies starting with Channel 21 (the first channel in bank 2).
