Frequency:
the receiving signal location
(expressed in MHz). To fi nd active frequencies,
you can use frequency guides available from your
local RadioShack store, frequency listings posted
on the Internet, or the built-in search/stalker
function.
Channels
:
programmable memory locations for
the frequencies you want to monitor. Each time
the scanner fi nds an active frequency, it stops and
monitors the radio traffi c on that channel until the
transmission ends, then resumes scanning.
Channel Storage Banks
:
a storage area for a
group of channels. Channels are storage areas
for frequencies. Whereas a channel can only
contain one frequency, a bank can hold numerous
channels.
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.
