The Basics

channel storage banks
To make it easier to identify and select
the channels you want to listen to, all the
channels are divided into 10 banks of 100
channels. Use each channel-storage bank
to group frequencies, such as those for
the police department, fi re department,
ambulance services, or aircraft.
For example, the police department might
use four frequencies in your town while
the fi re department uses an additional
four. You could program the four police
frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the
fi rst channel in bank 1), and program the
fi re department frequencies starting with
Channel 101 (the fi rst channel in bank 2).
