Channels
Channels are storage areas for frequencies saved
inyourscanner’smemory.Eachsavedfrequencyis
assigned a channel.
Banks
A bank is a storage area for a group of channels. Your
scanner provides 10 banks (1 to 10) that can each
store up to 20 channels, for a total of 200 channels.
You can use the banks to group and organize
frequencies.
For example, you could program the frequencies
used by your local police department 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).
