Once you understand a few simple
terms used in this manual and
familiarize yourself with your
scanner's features, you can put
the scanner to work for you. You
simply determine the type of
communications you want to
receive, then set the scanner to
scan them.
A frequency is the receiving signal
location (expressed in kHz or
MHz). To find active frequencies,
you can use the search function.
You can also search the One
Touch Search Banks, which are
preset groups of frequencies
categorized by type of service.
When you find a frequency, you
can store it into a programmable
memory location called a channel,
which is grouped with other
channels in a channel-storage
bank. You can then scan the
channel-storage banks to see if
there is activity on the frequencies
stored there. Each time the
scanner finds an active frequency,
it stays on that channel until the
transmission ends.
