UNDERSTANDING THE
SCANNER’S MEMORY
You can store up to 110 frequencies
into your scanner’s memory. You
store each frequency into either a
memory called a channel, or a tem-
porary memory called a monitor. This
scanner has 100 channel memories
and 10 monitor memories.
Channel-Storage Banks
To make it easier to identify and se-
lect the channels you want to listen
to, channels are divided into 10 chan-
nel-storage banks of 10 channels
each. Use each channel-storage
bank to group frequencies, such as
the police department, fire depart-
ment, ambulance services, or aircraft
(see “A Guide to the Action Bands”).
For example, the police department
might use four frequencies, one for
each side of town. You could pro-
gram the police frequencies starting
with Channel 1 (the first channel in
Bank 1) and program the fire depart-
ment starting with Channel 11 (the
first channel in Bank 2).
Monitor Memories
The scanner has 10 monitor memo-
ries. You can use these memories to
temporarily store frequencies while
you decide whether or not to store
them into channels. This is handy for
quickly storing an active frequency
when you search through an entire
band. You can manually select these
memories, but you cannot scan
them. See “Searching For and Tem-
porarily Storing Active Frequencies.”
When you are in the monitor mode,
one of the memory numbers (1-10)
appears to the right of the MON indi-
cator. The number indicates the cur-
rent monitor memory.
