he Basics
quick start
To help familiarize yourself with the scanner’s
functions, keypad, and available frequencies, you
can utilize one of these three features before you
begin programming the scanner.
Signal Stalker II:
searches nearby strong signals
quickly. See “Signal Stalker II”.
One-Touch Search Banks:
allow you to listen to
frequencies and decide which frequencies you
want to store when you are ready to program the
scanner. See “Searching the One Touch Banks”.
Manual Tuning:
allows you to manually move
through the entire range of available frequencies.
(See “Specifi cations” for a list of the available
frequency ranges.)
understanding channel storage banks
A bank is a storage area for a group of channels.
Channels are storage areas for frequencies. While
a channel can only contain one frequency, a bank
can hold numerous channels.
To make it easier to identify and select the
channels you want to listen to, your scanner
divides the channels into 10 banks (1 to 10) of
30 channels each, a total of 300 channels. You
can use each channel-storage bank to group
frequencies.
The scanner is preset so that each bank is
turned on (see “Turning Channel-Storage
Banks Off and On”).
