BANKS AND MEMORIES
Your scanner can store up to 110 frequencies. You store each frequen-
cy in either a memory called a channel, or a temporary memory called
a monitor memory. This scanner has 100 channels and ten monitor
memories.
CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen
to, channels are divided into ten channel-storage banks of 10 channels
each. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as
the police department, fire department, ambulance services, or aircraft
band (see “Guide to the Action Bands” on Page 31.
For example, the police might use four frequencies, one for each area
of town. You could program the police frequencies starting with Chan-
nel 1 (Bank 1) and then program the fire department frequencies start-
ing with Channel 11 (the first channel in Bank 2).
MONITOR MEMORIES
The scanner also has ten monitor memories. Use these memories to
temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether or not to save
them into channels. This is handy for quickly storing an active frequen-
cy when you are searching through an entire band.
Note: To store frequencies into a monitor memory, you must first per-
form a limit or direct search. See “Searching For and Temporarily Stor-
ing Active Frequencies” on Page 21.
