UNDERSTANDING BANKS
Channel Storage Banks
To make it easier to identify and
select the channels you want to
listen to, channels are divided into
10 banks of 50 channels each.
Use each channel-storage bank to
group frequencies, such as those
used by the police department, fire
department, ambulance services,
or aircraft (see “Guide To The
Action Bands” on Page 61).
For example, the police
department might use four
frequencies, one for each side of
town. You could program the
police frequencies starting with
Channel 00 (the first channel) in
Bank 1 and program the fire
department frequencies starting
with Channel 00 (the first channel)
in Bank 2.
