For example, a particular city
might use four frequencies for
police communications, and four
frequencies for fire
communications. 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). This gives you the ability to
quickly select what you wish to
monitor by activating or
deactivating the appropriate
channel storage bank. When
looking at channel numbers, the
first digit identifies the bank (0 to
9). The second and third digits
identify the channel within the
bank (00 to 49).
CHANNELS
Channels are storage locations for
the actual frequencies you wish to
monitor. Each channel can be
configured with a radio frequency,
the desired mode for that
frequency, and settings to allow a
short delay after a transmission or
lock the channel out from
scanning operation. A channel can
contain a conventional, non-
trunked frequency, or a frequency
used in a trunking system.
SEARCH BANKS
Your scanner has six
preprogrammed search banks
configured to search various radio
services, and one limit search
bank that you can configure. You
can set the lower and higher
frequency limit in the limit search
bank.
