UNDERSTANDING BANKS

CHANNEL STORAGE BANKS

To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, channels are divided into 10 banks
of 20 channels each. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those used by the police
department, fire department, ambulance services, or aircraft (see "Guide to the Action Bands" on Page XX).
For example, the police department might use four frequencies, one for each side of town. You could program
the police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in bank 1) and program the fire department
frequencies starting with Channel 21 (the first channels in bank 2).
