ABOUT YOUR SCANNER

Once you understand a few simple terms we use in this

manual and familiarize yourself with your scanner’s

features, you can put the scanner to work for you. You

simply determine the type of communications you want

to receive, then set the scanner to scan those commu-

nications.

frequency

is the tuning location of a station (ex-

pressed in kHz or MHz). To find active frequencies,

you use the

function.

Besides searching within a frequency range you deter-

mine, you can also search your scanner’s

service

banks

. Service banks are preset groups of frequencies

categorized by type of service. For example, many am-

ateur radio frequencies are located in the

HAM2

service

bank.

When you find a frequency, you can store it into a pro-

grammable memory location called a

channel

. Chan-

nels are grouped into

channel-storage banks

. (This

scanner has 5 channel-storage banks of 30 channels

each). You can then

scan

the channel-storage banks

to see if there is activity on the frequencies stored

there.

Or, when you find a frequency, you can store it into a

temporary memory location called a monitor memory

until you decide whether or not to move it to a channel.

Just keep in mind — you

scan

channels.

You can also use your scanner to track trunked trans-

missions (see “Trunk Tracking” on Page 39).
