If desired, group similar channels into one bank to make listening easier, and name the channels/set attributes for each channel. After programming channels into banks, press SCAN/srch to scan those entries. The scanner starts scanning at Bank 1 and continues through Bank 10 (displays as BANK 0) before repeating the scanning process. Flashing numbers at the bottom of the screen indicate which bank is currently being scanned. If there are banks you do not want to scan, press that bank's number to turn it off. Press that number again to turn it back on and make it available for scanning. Editing Banks and Channels 1. From MENU/Program Channel/Select Bank, you can select a bank and rename it.
