UNDERSTANDING BANKS

Channel Storage Banks

A bank is a storage area for a group of channels. Channels are storage areas
for frequencies. Whereas a channel can only contain one frequency, a bank
can hold numerous channels.
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, your
scanner divides the channels into 10 banks (1 to 10) of 20 channels each, a
total of 200 channels. You can use each channel-storage bank to group fre-
quencies, such as those used by the police department, fire department, am-
bulance services, or aircraft.
For example, a police department might use four frequencies, one for each
side of town. You could program the police frequencies starting with Channel 1
(the first channel in bank 1) and program the fire department frequencies start-
ing with Channel 21 (the first channel in bank 2).
