Understanding Banks
Service Banks
The scanner is preprogrammed with all the frequencies
allocated to the aircraft band and FM CB.
Channel-Storage Banks
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want
to listen to, the 100 channels are divided into 10
channel-storage banks. Each bank has 10 channels. Use
each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as
those for the amateur radio, air crafts, police, fire brigade,
public utilities etc (Please note that in some countries You are
not allowed to listen to certain services, and having saved
such frequencies into a memory location can be regarded
already as an offense).
For example, the police department might use eight
frequencies in your town while the railroad uses an additional
four. You could program the eight police frequencies starting
with Channel 1 (the first channel in bank 1), and program the
railroad frequencies starting with Channel 11 (the first channel
in bank 2).
