BANDS AND BANKS
SEARCH BANDS
Your scanner can tune over 24,000 different frequencies. Each of
these frequencies is contained within a group of frequencies
called a band. The scanner uses permanent memory locations
called search bands (0-9) to group these bands. You can search
these bands to quickly find active frequencies you might want to
store into the scanner’s channels (see “Channel-Storage Banks”
on Page 19).
The scanner has the following search bands.
For example, if you wanted to search for transmissions between
pilots and the control tower at an air show, you could search only
the search bands where you are most likely to hear the transmis-
sions (2, 3, and 6).
