Understanding Bands/Monitor Memory - GRE PSR-255 Owner's Manual

UNDERSTANDING BANDS/MONITOR
MEMORY
Search Bands
Your scanner can tune over 26,000 different frequencies.
Many of these frequencies are grouped within permanent
memory locations called search bands.
Band Displayed Search Range Description
0 26-40 MHz
1 40-54 MHz
2 68-78 MHz
3 78-88 MHz
4 137-144 MHz
5 144-146 MHz
6 146-174 MHz
7 410-430 MHz
8 430-440 MHz
9 440-470 MHz
You can search these bands to quickly find active frequen-
cies you might want to store into the scanner's channels. For
example, if you wanted to search for transmissions between
amateur radio operators, you could search only the search
bands where you are most likely to hear the transmissions
(Bands 5, and 8).
Note: The frequencies in the scanner's search bands are
preset. You cannot change them.
Monitor Memory
The scanner also has a monitor memory that you can use to
temporarily store a frequency while you decide whether to
save it into a channel. This is handy for quickly storing an
active frequency when you are searching through an entire
band using direct search. See "Direct Search".
