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 (0–
9) of 50 (00 to 49) 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 "Typical Band Usage" on
Page 61). For example, the police department might use
four frequencies, one for each side of town. You could
program the police frequencies starting with 000 (the 1st
channel in bank 0) and program the fire department fre-
quencies starting with 100 (the 1st channel in bank 1).
