ABOUT YOUR SCANNER

Once you understand a few simple terms used in this
manual and familiarize yourself with your scanner's fea-
tures, you can put the scanner to work for you. You sim-
ply determine the type of communications you want to
receive, then set the scanner to scan them.
A frequency is the receiving signal location (expressed in
kHz or MHz). To find active frequencies, you can use the
search function.
You can also search the SEARCH banks, which are
preprogrammed frequencies in the scanner's memory
(see "Searching a Preprogrammed Frequency Range"
on Page 20 for the frequency list.) You can even change
the frequency range on one of the SEARCH banks (Limit)
to limit the search.
When you find a frequency, you can store it into a pro-
grammable memory location called a channel, which is
grouped with 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.
