To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, your scanner divides the channels into 10 banks (0 to 9) of 100 (00 to 99) channels each, a total of 1,000 channels. You can use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those used by Motorola trunking, EDACS trunking, Marine, CB, Police, Fire, Aircraft and Ham (see "Typical Band Usage (in MHz)" on Page 71). Ô NOTE Ô For example, if you wanted to find active frequencies between a range of 150.1000 and 150.5000, you would put both of those frequencies in the limit search bank. For example, a police department might use four frequencies, one for each side of town. You could program the police frequencies starting with 000 (the first channel in bank 0) and program the fire department frequencies starting with 100 (the first channel in bank 1). The first digit identifies the bank (0 to 9). The second and third digits identify the channel within the bank (00 to 99). SEARCH BANKS Your scanner has five preprogrammed search banks and one limit search bank.

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes
20
To make it easier to identify and
select the channels you want to
listen to, your scanner divides the
channels into 10 banks (
0
to
9
) of
100 (
00
to
99
) channels each, a
total of 1,000 channels. You can
use each channel-storage bank to
group frequencies, such as those
used by Motorola trunking,
EDACS trunking, Marine, CB,
Police, Fire, Aircraft and Ham (see
“Typical Band Usage (in MHz)” on
Page 71).
For example, a police department
might use four frequencies, one
for each side of town. You could
program the police frequencies
starting with
000
(the first channel
in bank 0) and program the fire
department frequencies starting
with
100
(the first channel in bank
1). The first digit identifies the
bank (
0
to
9
). The second and third
digits identify the channel within
the bank (
00
to
99
).

Your scanner has five
preprogrammed search banks and
one limit search bank. You can set
the lower and higher frequency
limit in the limit search bank.

For the default setting, see
“Searching a Preprogrammed
Frequency Range” on Page 32).
UNDERSTANDING
YOUR SCANNER'S
MODES
You can program each channel
with any of four receive modes
(AM, FM, MOT, and ED).

For example, if you
wanted to find active
frequencies between
a range of 150.1000
and 150.5000, you
would put both of
