Selecting a channel bank
Channel banking is an optional feature that allows easy
access to large numbers of channels by grouping them into
‘banks’. This feature will be of benefit if you regularly access
a large number of channels, or frequently change repeaters.
If your radio is programmed for channel banking, each
position on the channel selector denotes a channel bank.
