You can also search the service-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 your 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.
