turning channel-storage banks on
and off
You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off.
When you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan
any of the 20 channels in that bank.
While scanning, press the number key that
corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off.
Numbers appear at the top of the display, showing
the currently active banks.
The scanner scans all the channels within the
displayed banks that are not locked out (see
“Locking Out Channels”). The bank number flashes
when the scanner scans a channel that belongs to
the bank.

You can manually select any channel within a
