Press [FIRE/EMG] to start scanning fire and
emergency frequencies. The FIRE/EMG bank al-
ready has 197 pre-programmed frequencies.
They are used for fire department and emer-
gency communications, including paramedics.
Because new frequencies may be activated in
your local area, ten extra open channels in this
bank have been provided for programming addi-
tional frequencies. (See the programming proce-
dures for programming new frequencies into this
bank.)
The AIR band bank key is fully pre-programmed
(108.000 to 136.975 MHz). Press [AIR] to start
searching through all 1,160 frequency steps of
the AIR band.

cies. The POLICE bank contains over 700
known frequencies used by the police, including
state troopers, local police and sheriff, etc. For
new frequencies, 20 more channels in this bank
have been provided for you to program. (See
the programming procedures for storing new fre-
quencies into this bank.)
Seven NOAA frequencies are programmed into
the Weather (WX) bank. Press [WX] to find your
local weather channel.
All 90 marine channels are programmed into the
Marine (MRN) bank. Press [MRN] to start scan-
ning marine channels.
Press [SEARCH] to start searching active fre-
quencies within the band previously selected
with the [BAND] key. Normally, the search con-
tinues from the frequency where it left off in the
previous search. In Search Mode, (after press-
ing [SEARCH]), the [BAND] key becomes ac-
tive. Use [BAND] to select the band you wish to
search. When selecting a band to search, re-
lease the key and the scanner will automatically
start searching upward from the lowest fre-
quency of its band. (The symbol appears next
to "SRCH" on the display.) To search from a
higher frequency to a lower frequency, press
