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 of 20 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 “Guide to the Action
Bands” on Page 53).

For example, the police department might use four frequen-
cies, 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 starting with
Channel 21 (the first channel in bank 2).
