You can search these bands to quickly find active frequencies
you might want to store into the scanner’s channels. For
example, if you wanted to search for transmissions between
amateur radio operators, you could search only the search
bands where you are most likely to hear the transmissions
(Bands 5, and 8).
Note: The frequencies in the scanner’s search bands are pre-
set. You cannot change them.
